This school caters to the poor Hispanic population. Even though I pay $10,000 a year in school taxes I will pay out of pocket for my kids to go to a nearby school. Please be warned this school is complete trash and will not provide your child with any of the tools needed to succeed in the current or future job market. They have a dress code that teaches your child not to take pride in their appearance and to not express themselves. Instead of investing in STEMS the high school has invested in a "culinary program" (short order cook) which means they can effectively teach your child to work in a fast food kitchen. A high school culinary program will not get your child a job at a reputable restaurant where they will be able to support themselves. They have lowered their academic standards to help pus through the ESL students, this is terrible.

I'm a student at O.P and parents like you might not trust what I have to say because I'm 14 not 20 but I insure you that everything I have to say are completely true and based off my own experiences . Schooling:up until now the teachers I've had at Kaufman have been terrible but at O.P. they've recognized my potential and embraced it I hated school til I got here now I love it Band: it's so fun and the directors are wonderful Color guard : great Mrs.Evans created this program and we do well Athletics: getting into it is easy but playing a sport is hard they say they pick us do to performance well that's not true at all and I fell sorry for off season who have too work hard for nothing and can't play the sport they love and are good at and they endure get out of athletics speeches daily Honors classes: give good education but have harder material Clubs: mainly bass and chess both are great to be a part of Side notes: the people in this school are mainly baptist and first baptist control this school this school is a religious based school including prayer and bibles and not great for other Christian religions because if you don't attend first baptist you won't make a team

The principal doesn't care about her students at all! If you have a choice stay away from Kaufman schools!
