The school is horrible. Parents dont send your children to any CISD schools. My child went there and had to transfer immediately. Its obvious that the students dont want to learn and the teachers aren't strict.

This school does too much on sports and not enough on education. A pep rally is held almost every week, cutting down precious learning time. If the TAKS scores are so low, the school should spend less time on fun and games and more about academics. My child has attended 2 other high schools and this

I have been a teacher here for three years now. The school started poorly and has only gotten worse. Discipline problems overwhelm teachers and administration is too understaffed to do anything about it. Education is simply not a priority for most students. The majority of them do not study, pay
... Read more attention in class or complete homework. Most students in 11th and 12 grades have difficulty with basic math and reading. Many parents are apathetic. I've called home to hear 'I can't do anything with him either.' Of the few parents who are involved many are more likely to blame teachers and administration than hold their children accountable for their own behavior. This climate has caused many good teachers to leave or grow apathetic. I will probably not be returning next year. The tragedy is that there are good kids and good teachers here. However, they cannot thrive in this climate. Read less

When I was a student here at this school, sometimes I would have several teachers in one year. Sometimes our teacher would leave and we would just have a different sub every week or so. And there were even a couple classes where we didn't have a teacher at all. I don't mean for a day, but for a week
... Read more or two at a time. It just became a norm. This school didn't prepare me for college, or help me in any way whatsoever. My mother pulled by brothers out of this school district after I graduated about 4 years ago and I would never send or recommend any child to go there unless there is no other possible school.

I am a student at CHHS taking all regular classes. I have no basis for comparaison, but as far as I can see it is very screwed up. Most of the teachers are competent (or better), but the administration is a pile of crap. For example, in Spanish II the first part of the year was done by a very good

She was replaced with a very poor new teacher who failed to teach. I am stuck with the consequences this year. There was also an instance of two girls that came from an Oak_Cliff school who wanted to go back saying that this school was more screwed.
