I am both a parent with kids in the district and a teacher in the district. I was astounded by the low rating on this site for this school. Mustang High School is one of the best schools in the state and has so many awesome programs that students can get involved in.

This school sucks. It does not improve their curriculum and there is so much bullying and harassment and nobody seems to care about it. Teachers are often pointless and does not even teach the half of the month.

I moved into this district for this school. I had heard good things about it. I have since began to regret that decision. My child is in the lower grades ( I do not wish to specify here). The beginning of the year was pure chaos. Parental directions on such things as pickup, signing folders, events, was cloudy at best. The lack of clarity in communications has made it difficult to effectively navigate the school year. I receive consistent communication, it just lacks in details that I feel is important "Bronco boogie date. We will be reciting lines and a song in front of the school." Bronco Boogie something you do regularly? Can parents come? I did the cookie dough fundraiser this year. I didn't know when the pickup was until I got a text at 3:15 from the teacher "Pick up today from 3-6". Well, I work and can't leave on such short notice. I picked up my order the next day. It was supposed to be frozen, but was left in the office to thaw. The most distressing thing has been the cliques and lack of inclusion. I have always been active in my child's education. I was hoping to be a homeroom helper or involved in the PTA. I volunteered on field trips to be assigned no groups, just my daughter. The homeroom mom in apparently the teacher's BFF and involves no one in the planning, just request parents to bring items she deems necessary for the party. I paid the PTA dues, but never received any information on any of the meetings. I started following the PTA facebook page, just to have a clue as to what was going on. The older women in the office are always talking about someone when I'm in there. If you're looking for a warm, inviting school to be active in your child's education, this is not it unless you have an "in" that I'm unaware of. My child tested at or just below average for sight words. I knew it was eventually going to "click" and it has. But until this happened, I didn't want to ruin the enjoyment of reading in order to memorize sight words. My teacher conference was about my child being just average. When I asked about social skills, ability to listen and follow directions, I got "oh, that's great". I felt like I was forcing her to say something nice. We are looking at our options to transfer out next year. Good thing I bought a house...

Mustang school district is declining as a whole due to mismanagement and waste. It is apparent when the district has dozens of administrators, assistant superintendents, and managers but still fail to provide any leadership or management at their schools. My son attended horizon and was assaulted by another student during their mid-day lunch break. I wasn't notified until my son got off the bus with his face scratched, swollen, and bloody. When I confronted the teachers and one of the assistant principles, the teacher involved flat out lied to cover her self in front of my son. When I questioned her further using a logic process that she couldn't lie her way out of, another teacher stepped in basically told us everything is fine and a report has been filed. Ten minutes later I walked into the office and found the two teachers filling out the incident report they said was completed "right away after it happened" and no one including the assistant principle saw a problem with this. This shows the lack of integrity and common sense of the teachers and administration at Mustang School District.
