The school has excellent teachers and overall, students are competitive. The courses offered are challenging and have the necessary equipment. It does have issues with racism and discrimination. Many students are ignorant regarding other cultures and the world they live in. I faced this unjustified discrimination myself. I also noticed there are radical, political views regarding administrative decisions. Which is honestly disgusting. As another downside, the school is getting crowded while there is no change in the old building. No need to say that the food offered is awful, since everyone else does. However, I believe the school does care about these issues. I know it sounds overwhelming, but don't be afraid to attend. There are many people who are friendly and caring. Teachers are amazing as well, which is why I'm giving 4 stars.
Through the tumultuous years of my high school career, Southern Lehigh tried their hardest to make the experience as positive as possible. However, there are a few things one should consider before entering the district/school. The policies regarding coronavirus and the resulting closings/education failed to meet the standards of education one should receive and disappointed many students and staff. Southern Lehigh has a largely white population, so if you are expecting diversity, you will not see much of it. Competitive academics and athletics define this school, so be aware of that. Other than that, take advantage of what they have to offer and you'll be set.
I feel as though Southern Lehigh is a very good district and the high school is no exception. There seems to be either a class or club for everyone and I've never felt threatened or uncomfortable with the teachers or classes. It doesn't have some parts that are pretty common with all high schools, but there isn't anything that really effects the school as a whole. The opportunities are plentiful and I think the school does a great job at preparing us for what's to come.
