Spent two years dealing with this school. Had a couple of great home room teachers, but not so great teachers when classes switched for different subjects. Safety of students seems to be on the low end, especially during drop off and pick up times at the school. A welcoming attitude toward parents and parental involvement is even lower. The lowest of all is the extreme lack of communication about anything. Definitely glad we are not at this school anymore.

My child rarely had homework or any studying that was strongly encouraged. (One math teacher often sent things). Since entering BISD, we’ve noticed there is not a push for students to excel unless it’s test time for Star. There are no parent-teacher conference dates, nor are there report cards sent home. It’s always, “Just check skyward.” But it would be great to get an individual, flagged emailed with an announcement saying, “End of quarter grades have been posted!” It would be good for students, parents, and teachers. As a substitute teacher, i have seen that phones are a problem, as well as iPods. Some teachers let them slide. Without a group consensus and group effort, it’s not seen as a rule by the kids. Hoping I can have more involvement and voice in the year to come.

Faculty ignores physical threats against their students. Faculty including superintendent will not respond to emails. Very dangerous school.
