South Meadows was a great school! My daughter was actually happy to go to school. They have a great staff and have a zero tollerance for bullies. THe teachers are the kindest I have ever met and I am proud to recomend this school. Their academic program is excellent it really captures what you would expect to have your child know. They have an amazing musical and extracurricular is amazing really. For PE and music they go to Beach Middle school. They have a choice of Choir, Band or Orchastra. Their sport system well lets just say we win alot. They actually recignize talented students with awards. Parents really get involved and that is what make South such a great place to be.
