We spend money on equipment, astro turf, and how much to those neon signs cost? Why didn't they invest money for more math, science, and english teachers? Now was purchasing neon signs and astro turf and the track field really in the best entrance of the students? As a tax payer I don't want my taxes going up failing Texas requirements that they loose sports are great but students who understand math, science, and can read/write. Big spring ISD has not passed state test requirements since 2008. We need to analyze the teachers, principals. Principals,and superintendent to see if they have a new plan and why are they still holding their positions? Our schools and children need every advantage we can offer them so one day they can be doctors, lawyers, even president. Those are long term plans. Athletics has a shelf life one child may do good but what about the rest of the children. Can the athletes read. Do math and science so when they can no longer be jocks they can get a good Job because we care enough to take time and teach them fundamentals.

My child was bitten 3 times within a month. They do not have cameras in their special education classrooms and the “teacher” is not qualified to deal with these situations. She had two aids and a total of 6 children (all of the children were nonverbal). I was assured he’d be in a mixed classroom and he was not. My son was not protected and he is traumatized from any biting he sees because of what was let happen to him. Principal made every effort to contact ex when I was withdrawing son from her school but never contacted me about the biting incidents as I’d requested. Principal is also very unprofessional and doesn’t call parents by name, only refers to them as “mom” and “dad.” These children look so sad at this school, I wish I’d never sent my son here… for any parent who doesn’t know this, if you’re transferring your child here from ECI, they can receive walk-in speech therapy without having to be enrolled in this school.

I worked at this school. The principal honestly does not care about the success of the students. She has political goals and that is all that is important to her. She fires or moves staff, teachers, and aides that do not bend to her every whim. I enjoyed working with the students at the school. Some are very poor but they have a great attitude. The teachers are incredible, unfortunately they suffer under the current principal and this effects their classrooms. I would not recommend this school if you have a junior high age. I do not recommend that you put your child in this school. There are smaller districts in the area that have better schools.
