School Reviews
2 10/10/2025
Some of the best teachers are still teaching, but many are gone now. The new teachers are not the same high level experienced professionals this school was notorious for. Our 6th grader's TAKS scores dropped 200 points, but she still had "A"s and "B"s for the year...very disappointing. The community committment to this school is amazing, compared to the horrible administration. The music programs are phenomenal, and with the new renovations the athletic programs should improve. But with the weak, untalented, anti social management of this school, the atmosphere is strange and strained.
