Southside STEM Academy at Campostella

"Tell me why Adults set of camp at your school intersection and their are kids soliciting at motorist stopping.for equipment or uniforms? Community really needs to step in or a good sponsorship! I suggest the McDonald's across the Highway! Keep our children safe!"

"my GOD I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT THIS SCHOOL. I went to this academy for the middle school portion of it and comparing it to my high school experience now, its like comparing flies to oranges. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE. Research some of the things that went on in this school on wavy 10 news. During the first few months of my last year there, there were so many physical fights and even FOOD FIGHTS. I technically passed algebra one and geometry but because of covid, all the teachers quitting because of conditions, and teachers being so relaxed on rules and expectations, they passed everyone under such relaxed circumstances. The only good teachers that actually stayed were my 8th grade geography, environmental science, and ELA teachers, so give them a raise or something. (They might not even be here anymore.) So many of the good teachers quit because of how chaotic the school was and were replaced by Edmentum proctors who didn’t even understand the curriculum themself!!! IM SERIOUS! And if you wanted to get help, you were put in an online class and it felt like being shoved into a big classroom and being taught stuff all over again, even if you still didn’t understand stuff. I wont even get into the amount of toxic student interactions such as kids passing around pictures and videos of other kids, how easily it would be for you to get bullied if you had soft skin, and how stupidly easy it was for kids to get away with things. The only punishments I've ever seen were suspensions and phones being taken away, only one kid being expelled in that entire school that i know of. I hate this school with a BURNING passion. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE. the only good stuff i got out of this was tough skin, two bits of knowledge and some friends."

"I’m Treasure Smith and I’m in 5th grade I been going to this school since I was 3 (it’s connected to the ECC Berkley) I start going here when I was in 1st grade basically after it was rebuilt and I really recommend this school but there is a Karen in this school. I’m not going to say here name but I really like this school it’s lit and there is absolutely no bulling except for some hard/bad headed kids and some mean and annoying teachers but if you thinking about enroll your child"

"I am an anonymous 6th grader at this school. It's just that I'm really not used to the school and the people at ssac are toxic to me and I don’t feel welcomed there at all."
