I moved to Blue Springs South in the middle
of my freshman year. It has been a great experience. I tried out for the volleyball team (I am a club player) and was accepted and played my entire high school years. I’ve met lots of friends. I love my high school and so many of my teachers. We also have an amazing Broadcasting department/program - which I have been fortunate to attend for the past few years. Our teacher is a well know / experienced Kansas City new anchor and he is the best. We have an amazing studio - state of the art in Missouri and I’ve learned so much regarding the broadcasting field (which I am interested in studying on college). I can’t say amount about our school!

I love how caring all of the staff members and administrators are. All of the principals know their students by name, and will have a conversation with you at any given time. The teachers love to stay connected with their students as much as possible throughout the rest of their high school career and possibly long into the future. I do think, though, the counselors should be better equipped and trained to help students with their mental health struggles. The counselors main focus is to make sure you get enough credits and can get into college, and get scholarships. Other than that I absolutely love this school am am beyond blessed to have been able to attend!
I see myself satisfied with what I have completed, but I am thoroughly disappointed. In terms of academics, I would find myself satisfied. Blue Springs South High School ranks 24th in Missouri and provides a 96% graduation rate. The teachers I have met have been especially interesting people, and have always been respectful to me. However, the one thing I dislike about the district is how they handle suicide. Every year (except this one apparently), for middle and high school, we sit in one of our classes and watch a 20-30 minute video for a stereotypical "what depression looks like" video (which isn't even close) and given small cards showing contact information of our counselors/people "willing to help". The flaw with this is that how do we know we can trust them? It's simple, really; we don't. Just showing us a video and saying "we're here for you" doesn't really show a trustful relationship. If I was dealing with personal issues, I wouldn't feel trusting at all.
