Southside High School is one of 14 public high schools that are part of the Greenville, South Carolina County Schools System. It is the first school in South Carolina to be home to an International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.
SAT Performance: According to a report by the Greenville County School District, Southside students scored 1023 on average on the SATs in 2003. This is 12 points higher than the Greenville County School Average (1011) and 7 points higher than the national public shool SAT average (1016). This average may not clearly represent the distinction between the two distinct academic groups present at the school, the local zoned enrollment and the magnet enrollment due to the school's Advanced Placement and IB Diploma Programs.
Advanced Placement and IB Diploma Programs: Southside is the first high school in South Carolina to offer an International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. Southside couples the IB Diploma Program with the opportunity for students to take Advanced Placement Program exams. Many courses taught at the school incorporate expected materials from both programs. In addition, the IB Middle Years Program will be implemented starting in the Fall of 2006.
In 2002, 103 students from Southside took 383 AP exams. 45 percent of those exams were scored at 3 or higher (generally considered a passing score). In the same year, 63 students took 230 IB Diploma exams with 63% of these exams scored at 4 or higher. The school offers AP courses in the following subject areas: Art, Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, Computer Science, English, European History, French, German, Macroeconomics, Physics, Psychology, Spanish, Statistics, U. S. History.
Sports: Basketball, Football, Soccer, Tennis, Cross country and Track, Volleyball.
Other Extracurricular Activities: Academic Team, Aikido Club (Japanese Martial Arts), Air Force JROTC, Anime Club, Boy Scouts of America Venture Troop, Biology Club, Chess/Games Club, Drama Club, Foreign Language Honor Societies, AGA Go Club, National Forensic League/Speech and Debate Team, French Club – "Le Cliché", Interact – Rotary-sponsored service club, Kitty Hawk Honor Society, Math Club – Mu Alpha Theta, National Honor Society, Red Cross Club (American Red Cross), SAM Team – (Southside Automated Machines)/Robotics, Southside First – (Safety Awareness Team), Spirit Club, Step Team, Young Democrats of South Carolina, Youth-in-Government.
Universities and Colleges: Because of the IB program, AP classes offered, and gifted students, many students attend prestigious and high-ranking universities after graduating. They include: Northwestern University, Duke University, New York University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, Clemson University, Emory University, University of South Carolina, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Brown University, Davidson College, Rice University, Cornell University, Johns Hopkins University, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Georgia, Boston College, Greenville Technical College, University of North Greenville, Yale University.
