- I am a student at Southport Middle School as a 7th grader. I used to get bad grades intill I got into Southport Middle school. I used to get C's D's and now I get A's and B's. The teachers prepare us for the FCat very well. In science my team (Bobcats) went over the district average! The southport middle school band also won superior two times in a row! We also have try-outs for the basketball team, cheerleading, and soccer.

- As a parent of a 6th grader at Southport I have had nothing more than raving reviews about the teachers and administration. My son has had a great first year at Southport and has never, I repeat, never has had one problem with any teacher or student. He has been on the principals honor roll throughout the year and loves the school. If more parents would listen to their children and discuss their problems with the school they're attending, then maybe they wouldn't criticize the schoolso much. Southport staff-keep up the good work!!!
