This school is okay. There is Weekly fight ,so I you want your kid to be safe or at least not a victim of a fight please don’t send them here. Another thing is there is bullies that bully who for fun. Lastly a lot of the boys make sexual comments about the girls that are disturbing.

From Learners to Offenders: How Pearcy STEM Discipline System Gets It WrongPearcy claims its discipline program is structured and fair, but my experience shows it conditions children to be treated like offenders instead of learners. Teachers have unchecked discretion to issue “signings” for petty actions—like my sixth-grade child being written up for a single laugh after recess. No instruction was taking place, no redirection was attempted, yet the teacher escalated directly to a formal discipline. The harm was compounded when the principal, Brooks, backed the teacher and even documented she would “check back in two weeks” on my child’s “progress for laughing.” This proves teacher discretion is always treated as right, with no accountability when staff actions damage a child’s record. Once a signing is issued, the child has no independent way to challenge it. Students are forced through a corrupt chain of command, while parents are given corrupt grievance processes that exist in name only. Emails I hold confirm this: the teacher initially refused to provide the write-up, avoided direct questions, and the school’s responses were delayed. This shows not transparency, but intimidation of both student and parent. Pearcy also conditions children to blindly sign documents such as behavior forms and classroom “contracts,” often under threat of grade penalties if they refuse. By law, students must attend school regardless of paperwork, yet they are taught to comply without question rather than think critically or advocate for themselves. Meanwhile, no comparable accountability exists for staff. Families are bound by contracts of expectations, but I have never seen a document outlining staff obligations or a clear list of what educators may not do to children in their care. Signings also build into a “rap sheet” that later justifies harsher punishments up to suspension. These marks are tracked and used as fuel to justify discipline. This system teaches children they cannot grow or learn from mistakes—they can only be monitored like criminals.This is not discipline that teaches. It silences. It strips children of their voices, pressures parents into reshaping natural behavior in harmful ways to survive mischaracterization, and legitimizes staff actions whether right or wrong. Pearcy and AISD alike must stop legitimizing petty discipline, create checks on staff authority, and provide real accountability for how children are treated.

As a student still attending the school, I will say that the teachers are amazing here and i absolutely love this school, they have a special education program and many teachers come here with open arms. I will say that I’ve never hated a teacher at all. Usually it isn’t the teachers and it’s the work that kids cause problems about. The other reviews are very old and I wanted to inform others that the school isn’t as it seems anymore like 2014-2022. The teachers put effort in what they teachers. The school has many opportunities such as the Career Technical Center CTC) which is a technical college like building with many different classes, similar to majors like in college. They also have Center for Visual Arts and Performing (CVPA), which is a build that has class that focus on fine arts such as Advanced Art classes, Piano 1-4, Music Theory, Modern and Contemporary Dance, and Instrumental repair. Kids attending Seguin has many opportunities and the school continues to be better as years go on. The security guard are also kind to students. Seguin also has metal detectors to protect students from harms way. Honestly having kids learn at Seguin would be awesome as a 2028 class student!
