the only good thing about this school is students you befriend and even then its just constant drama and theyre really rude. teachers are always super hit or miss but ALL the math teachers are RUDE INSULT STUDENTS & suck at keeping up with grades and keeping students updated meanwhile the parents are always informed of incorrect information. i hate this school and I cant wait till I graduate.

Polk is academically driven with a great group of teachers and administration staff! We moved from another state 2 years ago and have been consistently satisfied with our child's achievements and increased knowledge.

I am writing this review with my son to include his honest feedback.As a parent, I am very happy with the school and the academic program they provide. I feel like my son is advancing at a good pace and his teachers pursue excellence and have robust communication with parents with regards to school events and academic performance. When deciding to enroll at Hornado I did extensive research comparing this school with other junior high schools in the El Paso area, and Hornado stood out for its high percentage of student, students meeting math science, and reading proficiencies, which was important to me.From my son‘s perspective the strengths of the school are:1) the music program- they have a fantastic band/orchestra/choir.2) the teachers stand out for their willingness to help before and after school, if a student is struggling with a concept which shows they truly care.Weaknesses of the school include occasional overly harsh punishments for small misdemeanors such as forgetting student IDs, also the traffic for pick up and drop off. There seems to be a very small group of troublemakers that sometimes get into fights, but that doesn’t seem to spill over into the general student body or cause issues such as bullying in my son’s opinion (6th grader).Overall, we are very happy here and I would recommend the school others.
