I felt insecure. I was happy to be in school. You had to know people and mingling other peers eas challenging. Others had friends and were involved school. If you didn't talk people would judge you and probably didnt care about you. Don't be sensitive. However staff was very kind. Encouraging peers.

I have 3 kids attending this school with one matriculating (to middle school) already. Gunstream is highly multiracial (and has always been) with students from very diverse backgrounds and cultures (many moving directly to the US from Turkey, Korea, India, Russia as an example). As a very highly active parent at this school for many years, I can say this group of administrators and teachers do put in a lot of time and effort into the students to ensure each student has an appropriate level of academic rigor as well as the appropriate level of support. I can say I know all of my students primary teachers very well as well as many of the supporting speech and dyslexia teachers and have a substantial amount of respect for the work they perform (e.g. Read a Dyslexia AARD Report, just WOW!). I am very proud that my children can grow up with students from vastly different cultures, first languages, religions and belief systems. There are local schools that are vastly different in terms of racial makeup (predominantly one race or another) which would not give them this experience so early in life. I also want to shout out to Principal Smolka who is retiring at the end of this year after 20+ years (since the beginning) at Gunstream. We will miss you so much! Also another shout out to Ms. Hay who retired recently but still substitutes regularly. You are an absolute blessing and an amazing person!

My son is a Freshman at MHS and I can't say enough good things about the school. I was not going to write a review but after seeing the other posted review which is pretty inaccurate on numerous levels I felt I should so people can see multiple perspectives. This school is one of the most diverse schools in FISD to me that is a plus as I would prefer my student attend a campus that reflects what we see in the real world. My student has never seen a fight nor has he EVER felt anything but safe on campus. He has some amazing teachers. The teachers are also a great mix of experienced, and brand new. The athletic director and assistant athletic director are great and they have some wonderful coaches who genuinely care about the students. The Sped teachers are caring and helpful to all students. The school is newer (only 2 High schools in district were built after MHS) and is a beautiful campus. The students have tons of club opportunities to get involved and they even had a club fare this year so my freshman knew exactly what was available. I have seen lots of negative from people posting behind a screen that clearly have no idea what is really happening on this campus and are putting out incorrect information so I would love if anyone seeing this just takes a minute to actually talk to someone on the campus and I'm betting you will hear something very different.
