It is a horrible experience, this year and last year. The kids bully daily, the teachers do nothing if child has behavior problems, incompetent teachers, and the list goes on. I've had to move around a few times so I know the difference between normal, average, great, and dysfunctional. This is a very dysfunctional school. However, it is better than last year due to the new principal, but there is only so much a principal can do. Stayed this year thinking it would get better and it has very little, but I can't stay any longer because my kids need to be able to feel safe and learn. Thankful that I have the funds to move but feel horribly bad for those who don't.

So much favoritism shown to teachers who had relatives in the administration. Sadly, most of these kids were passed on without mastering the TEKS. I saw so many kids that failed the STAAR have to receive certificates of completion instead of a high school diploma.
