Nothing but great memories with my two in Bailey Band and Bailey Bear football.

We have enjoyed being a part of the Kocurek community! Given the state of public education and the school's "underperforming" status, I've been impressed with the quality of my daughter's teachers and their advocacy for their students. There are a lot of opportunities for parents to be involved and provide feedback, and it's got a surprisingly active PTA for a title 1 school. Recommend for any South Austin family who values community and diversity.

If you are a parent considering this school, please read this carefully.My son was part of the wrestling program, and the emotional and physical treatment he received from the coaching staff caused long-lasting harm. The environment was extremely unhealthy, and several students—including my son—experienced humiliation, unsafe weight-cutting demands, and psychological pressure far beyond what is acceptable for teenagers.The coach routinely pushed students to gain and lose weight rapidly, made degrading comments about their masculinity, and used intimidation instead of guidance. Promises were made to motivate them, only to be withdrawn later in a way that damaged their confidence and emotional stability.This was not discipline.This was emotional abuse and negligence from adults who should have been protecting our children.Years later, my son is still dealing with the consequences of the trauma he experienced there. He is not the only one—other former students have privately shared similar stories.Schools should be safe.Coaches should build character, not break it.I hope this review encourages the administration to evaluate how students are being treated and to ensure no other child goes through what mine did.
