Almost all of the teachers that I have studied under have been an absolute blessing! The teachers are generally very positive and passionate when it comes to teaching and aiding the mental and emotional growth of their students! Maize South High School does a great job of rewarding those who thrive academically and/or athletically. There are so many great courses and extracurricular activities to enroll in, making it very easy to find your chosen path of study or get involved in the school community. Unfortunately, they don’t always take cases of bullying seriously, but I have seen small improvements made in this department. Hopefully things will keep on improving, making the school a more comfortable and pleasing environment to learn in. In general, it truly is a fantastic school.
I moved to Maize South High School my freshman year of High School and it was terrifying going from a class of 60 kids to a class of 200 or more. However, teachers and faculty were very welcoming and helped me through everything and I made some friends along the way! Their music department brings kids from everything club and sport together and makes an amazing family. Teachers at MSHS make sure to help you without giving you the final answer. My missing star comes from individual teachers and coaches who aren’t the best at the school, and some administrators that miss some opportunities to help students. Overall, I have loved my high school experience at Maize South High School, and I will cherish every second this upcoming senior year!
Maize South is a great school all around. Their block scheduling has allowed me to focus more on my classes and has prepared me better for college. They focus on academics and encourage students to push themselves; they have a system assembled that they call "Focus" that is set up for students who have either a D or an F in a class that allows the student to get hands-on help to raise their grade with the teacher whose class they're failing in during our "Mav-Time." Man-Time is about a thirty minute break in the middle of the school day that allows the students to do their homework, talk to their teachers, and/or socialize with their friends. Maize South has teachers who truly care and will reciprocate the effort you give in. The school also is understanding of student-athletes and encourages students to diversify and go out of their comfort zones to try new things. I am a student-athlete who is in madrigals and take honors classes, and I am very proud to go to Maize South.
