The kids are being taught to never give up....never ever. Teachers are spending lots of time with kids that want to learn & counseling those that don't as to why they should. They are going the extra mile.

It is an average school, but there could be more discipline put forth from the teachers. In my personal experience at other schools, I'd say Santa Fe could push us, the student body, harder to prepare us for college.

This school is awful, my kids were doing great here, but when I moved they were so far behind it took massive amounts of tutoring to get them up to the other kids. They are doing great now but I would never let them go back there, the teachers don't care and the principals are worse. Teach the taks

Wow.. It's Santa Fe! Everyone that goes to Santa Fe knows. Its just like every school some teachers are willing to go that extra mile some are not so willing. I believe if you want to exceed you can, its about what the student want. I will always look back and remember fun times and grat people! Former

The dress code is not enforced for all students - If you are not a football player or your parent is well known in the community,you get called on the code. I see gothics with multiple piercings, pipe pants, chains walking out of the school! With all Texas schools, they teach TAKS and not the basics.

Santa Fe Schools are very poor in there teaching. All this school worries about is money. Another subject Santa Fe schools only worry about is dress code. The staff only worries about what the students are wearing, instead of caring about their grades. I think Santa Fe Schools need to start focusing

First off, you have to look at the percentage of graduates who later went into the military or are only going to College of the Mainland or ACC. My graduating class had maybe 10 people who went on to bigger and greater things. I bore witness to people sleeping in class and getting graded on being able

The staff and teachers were more set on just making it through the day with the minimal amount of effort, but still be able to supply the test scores needed for funding. I as well as several friends were basically pressured to step down from the advanced classes and join the regular classes. Hopefully it has changed since 2000. But if those teachers are still there, then it hasn't. It's all about sports there. Read less

The principals I would have to say are the most active with the students. The teacher quality is very poor, they don't help the students who are having a difficult time with the work. The way the teachers figure is if you are failing them there is no hope for you. There are a few extracurricular activities

Parent involvement is low because the school keeps you informed with letters and not many of thoes make it home. The safety and dicipline are very poor. The school officers are rarely ever there and the students get to choose their discipline. They have the choice of Saturday detention, In School Suspension, or the paddle. Read less
