It was a long wait and when I finally got to the end I realized why. There were two ladies at checkout and one only took cards and the other only took cash. The cash lady was sitting there with nothing to do because everyone was paying by card. It should have been that both people took cards but only one would also take cash. It would have sped things up considerably. Also there were some items that you had to stand in a whole other line to get, which was fine but I was tired of waiting so I didnt go over to see what was offered there. In any case I got a fish sandwich (good thickness, decent flavor), a slice of cheese pizza (basic, what you would expect) and fries (probably the best thing which was a little sad since those were definitely pre packaged). Would I come back? Yeah probably, the people watching was immaculate (so many drunk people at 5pm?) and I might go to the other line next time because it was shorter. Oh and bring CASH.

Once he took the tour of Trinity he was sold and told Mom and I there was no reason to visit St. Xavier!!! First time visiting St. X, I had heard that the St. X campus was quite impressive and indeed it is. Although I didn't have an opportunity of touring the entire campus it's easy to see that their infrastructure is massive. Very fortunate that Louisville offers a wide selection of fine schools throughout the city.

As a former student here, I have a unique perspective that outsiders may not be aware of. While the…read moreschool claims to promote "individual excellence," in reality, I was punished and relegated to the back of the room whenever I hiccuped or tapped my feet. I recall being loud and talkative in the past, but now I barely speak due to the way the teachers and several students treated me. The effects of that bullying still linger to this day. The bullies were once my friends, but they turned on me, and the teachers failed to intervene or hold them accountable. The group was led by one student whose parent worked at the school, creating a toxic environment where the teacher selectively disciplined the class. I was sent to the principal's office or the back of the room multiple times a day for things other students were doing without consequence. Notably, the teacher acted differently whenever another adult was in the classroom, showing she was aware her behavior was inappropriate. I attended this school for two years when I was 10 and 11; I am now about to turn 15, and hopefully, that puts into perspective how long this has affected me. This school silenced me. I was bullied almost every single day, and even after I left, some students continued the harassment. Another review mentions that the founder/principal knows everyone by name, but knowing a name is not the same as knowing a student's heart or ensuring their safety. Leadership failed to act when I was drowning in a toxic environment. I could say a lot more, but I've already given this school enough of my time and my silence. I am sharing this because I don't want anyone else to feel this way. Do not waste your money on this school; protect your child's mental health. The tuition does not provide safety in this 'Christian' environment."

Southern high school is a magnet career high school in the Jefferson county public schools system…read morelocated off Preston Highway in the Okolona area of Louisville Kentucky. This purple and white wearing institution has a mascot of "Trojans" and was built in 1951. At one point southern was considered to have one of the top machine tool and die programs in the whole area. Being an alumni of southern graduating in the class of 2002 I can say that in my 4 years there I produced some great memories, met some life long friends (including my current wife) and had a really good time. I was pretty active in my time at a southern as I played 3 sports (football, wrestling, and track) and was involved in a various of clubs such as beta club and national honors society. During my time frame at the school the graduating classes were in the several hundreds. So in my 4 years being involved in all those activities with essentially 7 different graduating classes I probably interacted with close to a thousand different people. Like any school Southern is a place that you will get what you put into it. It's not considered a school for high academic excellence. But it is achievable. I feel like I made the most out of my time at the school and because of that I have long lasting memories and a better overall reaction to my time at the school. The school itself is quite large. Has two gymnasiums attached to the school, a large newly (built in the 90s I believe) renovated automotive department and 3 stories/floors full of classrooms. Well 4 floors if you count that historic and borderline mythical 4th floor that is gated off. I'm not sure about today's students but back in my day for several years there was all kinds of crazy rumors of what was up there. From a swimming pool, to a teachers smoking lounge there was all kinds of crazy and wild rumors. I've actually been up there. It's literally maybe 1-2 classrooms (it's been 20 years so some details escape me) full of old school supplies and a ladder that pops you up to the flat rooftop. And No! There isn't a pool up there. As stated already I enjoyed my time at the school. I'm not sure southern will ever be noted for a long list of famous alumni (super bowl mvp Phil Simms) and will never be a place you send a kid strictly to achieve a higher education. But the opportunity can be created. I'm personally fortunate enough to send my kids to private schools to try and set them up for higher education with better resources. However as stated, there are kids who don't take advantage of those programs. So it really does depend on the individual to make the most of there academic situation. I'll end this review the same way the former long time principal and principal during my time Jerry Keepers use to end his morning announcements. "Have a great Southern Day".
