Contents

As of the 2022-23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,338 students, according to National Center for Education Statistics data. The student-to-teacher ratio is 1 teacher to 14.68 students, roughly in line with the state average of 15.1. The student body is 62.9% White, 17.6% African American, 17.1% Hispanic or Latino of any race, 2.3% Asian American, and less than 1% Native American.

Scheduling

The school utilizes block scheduling. Each block is 90 minutes long. Most classes only last for one semester. Each period is 45 minutes long, with the exception of those during block 3. 1st and 2nd periods are in Block 1, 3rd and 4th periods are in Block 2, and 9th and 10th periods are in Block 4. Block 3 is 120 minutes long, and the four periods are each 30 minutes long, one of which will be lunch. Normally, a student's schedule may say a class, then lunch, and then back to the original class. This means that the bell will ring in the middle of the class to signal that the class should go to lunch. After lunch, the class will then return.

School map

The school is split into two divisions: the Maple Building and the regular building. These two buildings are connected by a single hallway, which runs by the cafeteria.

Renovation

The school has undergone a 92-million-dollar renovation project. The district added a new 3-story wing, cafeteria, and Gym as well as renovating the existing building. The stadium has been fitted with a turf field, an all-weather track, and improvements to the visitors' team's stands.

The current spot of the Bunnell School has been made into a faculty parking area. Another building torn down for parking was the old District Administration building, the former North Courtland Elementary School.

South Side Live

Every morning, after the first block, teachers turn on their TVs for South Side Live, a student broadcast generally about 10 minutes long. It is a morning announcement about updates in the school, such as weather, announcements for activities and sports. It will often include videos featuring special school events or important events occurring worldwide. The school's Studio Broadcasting class produces the broadcast.

The winning team receives the Little Brown Jug trophy, which stays with the winning school until the next Turkey Day Game. If the winner is away, they walk home with a police escort through the other team's town, a tradition that began in 1967. The competition has gained the attention of Sports Illustrated . The rivalry is presented in the American football on Thanksgiving page.

From 1995–98, the teams met during the regular season. Starting in 1999, they began playing each other twice each year, once during the regular season and again on Thanksgiving. The early games do not count in the Turkey Day rivalry records.
