South Anchorage High School Reviews
Rating 3.96 out of 5 194 reviews
I was at SAHS for all 4 years of high school and I liked it a lot! I was on the volleyball team as well as swing choir, and I was able to take classes that were fun while also taking classes that pushed me to be a better student (AP, Honors courses). Overall, I had a positive experience with SAHS.
South is a great school, students are involved and teachers are so supporting and understanding. The school spirit brings everyone together and our athletic program is like no other!
South is an awesome school! The academic aspect is great - lots of AP classes offered and almost all the teachers are amazing. Sports overall are good at South, with a large variety of types of athletes and well-placing teams. Like any high school, there are quite a few cliques, but there are tons of wonderful people to engage with!
