I am very disapointed with this school. I have had problems off & on for the last 2 years but now it has gotten worse. It is really bad when they lose your child & not sure of where she is, by the time they found her it had taken the vice principal, a teacher & 2 office ladies to finally find out where she was.

When we moved here from out of state our daughter needed tutoring to bring here up to speed. Bandera schools provided this service without charge after school. They provided a late bus to bring our daughter home from school. No child goes without a meal even if they are unable to pay. On test day they provide breakfast to make sure the kids are at their best for the day. We receive continuous updates by email of our childs progress. If you like a small town country school feel with an excellent program for your child...this is the right place. Most of these kids are bused in from the country which gives a good diversification. The teachers are involved with each student. If the parent shows an interest in the education system, there is always room to participate in all aspects of your childs education.

When my daughter started these schools was pretty good but now I'm so disappointed in how things are run. I've never seen or heard of a school that has so much bullying. Not only by students but by the teachers. The cheer group is a joke and so is the athletic department. At first I thought it was me but then I learned differently listening to other parents and their disappointment as well. I really expected a lot more from a small town but this is just ridiculous. Its so bad they couldn't even find anyone to do PTO past this year. Not only the bullies but the drugs here are ridiculous. Enough is enough. My children will never go back here.
