  • I have had child(ren) in this school for the past 3 years and I have absolutely enjoyed my experience with the teachers. Ms. Craver is the best kindergarten teacher ever, she's so good, I wanted all my kids to be taught by her. She really helps to give the kids a strong foundation to a lifetime of learning. Mrs. Cordaway is the sweetest and Mrs. Jarrett is wonderful. Thank you ladies for all you do for our children at Southwood. Keep up the good work.

  • Mrs. Byrd-Wyatt is one of the best teachers this school has ever had. Count your blessings if your son or daughter have the pleasure of being taught by her. Very gifted lady. Greg Parker

  • My son has one of the best teachers I have ever met her name is Mrs. Byrd-Wyatt.... She has helped my child so much and she really cares about the children. Very seldom do you ever meet anyone that is as caring as she is. My child is having some difficulties learning and she has been my life line in getting him the help he needs. All schools needs teachers like her.
