This is a great school, love everything well at least for me because i have the best teachers there. My teachers for example make learning fun, we are always laughing and jokeing around but at the same time learning. I love that the administration works hard every day to improve our school, for example
... Read more they try hard to have a great attendance percentage (we usually have 92% or 93% present every day) and we had 98% present on the day of the TAKS test. But there are some things tat could be much better, for example us being a 5A school we have too many people out in the hallways and it is so crowded. Also the Small Learning communities (SLCs) are kind of a joke, we have no class that resembles our chosen SLCs we just have advisory on Wednesdays and they talk of some other stuff. Overall its good!
