Two of my children go to Southwood. This is their second year. We absolutely love it there! The staff is very kind to myself and my children. The teachers are very good about communicating and helping to accomadate to your childs needs. We have actually had our one child in 2 other schools for a short time and rate Southwood top notch out of all of them! Good job Southwood staff, keep up the GREAT work!!!

We were privileged to have our first two children attend Southwood (through 5th grade), and looked forward to having our third child attend, as well; however, we had to move out of district. There is not enough good that I can say about this school! It's teachers and staff made it home for us, and we miss it still. The kids still ask to visit, and we definitely left our hearts behind when we left! If anyone from Southwood reads this: THANK YOU for making a difference! We love you all!
