My son's learning experience has been wonderful! His teachers have been very good at looking out for his best interest and encouraging his participation in activities throughout the years. The teachers really care about their students.

The classes are not really all that challenging. When I attended pre-ap courses and I felt like only about of 3rd of the class work was worth studying and even then that's pushing it. You really don't need to study to PASS the courses I took, let alone get highB's or A's. AP courses were the only ones that were engaging and challenging.... and you take those if you wish your senior year. What about the other three years? The school's reputation is much "cleaner" that it actually is. Going into details of what I observed is in "allegations" territory so I'll just leave it at that. The extracurricular activities are top notch... but if classes are so easy to pass is it any wonder as to how so many students can "pass and play"? I think the teachers are extremely dedicated but I guess because of the lack of interest in school among the student body they water down the curriculum to the bare bones TAKS objectives. That's another thing, the school does a good job with promoting TAKS tutorials and objectives so if a student doesn't pass it... something is terribly wrong with him or her because this school really works hard to keep high scores.

My husband and I are former teachers, so we're hardcore about academics. We chose this school before we moved to Laredo and bought a house in the neighborhood. We have been so pleased with our decision. The admin and teachers here understand the importance of setting high expectations. Students SHOULD be challenged in order to achieve their full potential! Yes, some of the parents can be extra, but not all families are high SES. A bonus is the diversity: there are several families from overseas, and I love that my kids have the opportunity to make international friends.
