Southside Middle School is involved in a number of educational programs that enhance the student's learning experience. Southside offers after school tutoring in reading for 8th grade students with plans to extend this academic enhancement to all grade levels. Southside offers many educational opportunities outside the classroom by allowing students the opportunity to participate in Academic Bowl, and young men to join the ALPHA Tutoring Program under the supervision of Dr. T. Marshall Jones, formerly of Albany State University. Students who are below grade level are encouraged to reach for academic excellence by utilizing the Title I Math and Reading programs.
