Maize South High School Reviews
Rating 4.12 out of 5 287 reviews
My experience at Maize South High School gave me a lot of opportunity for growth and connections. Throughout my high school career, my graduating class underwent new administration and the pandemic, which both made our experience challenging and changing from year to year. Even as a student I could tell that the administrator-teacher relationship dynamic was not that of a communicative one, and, for me, the teachers are the ones that bettered my experience. I believe the teachers deserve a pay raise and reformed support by administration and parents. Overall, my years at Maize South High School were incredibly enriching and developmental, and I received many opportunities through the Maize Career Academy such as an internship with Hutton Construction and a variety of elective classes; however, I fear for the future of Maize South High School as the general attitude of many teachers was that they couldn’t sustain themselves, let alone a family, with the current pay for teachers.
Maize South prepared me for college better than any school in Kansas could. I enjoyed all of the teachers because they made learning easy. Maize South also offers a lot of dual credit opportunities to complete college earlier than usual. I didn't enjoy the school environment involving other students, but overall Maize South has very good academics, which is one of the most important factors.
The environment in this school is just unmatched. Being a part of this high school made me feel involved, special, and thankful. The school spirit through not only the student body, but also the staff makes being there so special and so exciting. Even through the struggles with Covid-19 my freshman year so still felt educated, and involved throughout. At Maize South, feeling accepted and comfortable is just as important as the educational information you obtain.
