My son is currently attending Bryan High School and we couldn't be more pleased. He has been so fortunate to have access to amazing teachers and courses (AP and International Baccalaureate) as well as the regional Career and Technical Education Center with an industrial engineering program that has been designed with Texas A&M University. The Cross Country team is also a fantastic peer group for him and he is thriving. Thank you Bryan High School!

I witnessed the Special Education teacher stomp and scream at my 5-year-old in the morning carpool line for speed walking on a sidewalk, prompting him to shutter in shock. Even the teachers around her looked in disbelief. When I made eye contact through my vehicle (we aren't allowed to exit), she rolled her eyes at me. I helplessly watched as my child hung his head and shuffled his feet through the doorway. I parked and entered the office. The principal told me she didn't have time to talk to me because she needed "to pull like 11 kids" to help with last minute tutoring. She called me hours later to inform me that she reviewed video (with no audio) and found no evidence that the teacher had screamed, and only "pivoted abruptly toward" my child... -_-... but then said that if a child is behaving in an unsafe manner (speed walking?) that any staff member is justified in screaming at them and using other means to stop that behavior. Aside from that gem, I've had a problem with bullying. Just make sure your children don't have unusual hair styles or wear the same-colored pants two days in a row, or they'll be the laughingstock of the school. Better yet, don't let your 5-year-old son have shoulder-length hair or he'll have 10-year-olds asking him what his genitals look like. On to academics! My children (K and 2) have had consistently dropping test scores. When I asked one of their teachers how to help them close the gap and mend their tattered confidence, she sent home Special Education paperwork and hasn't responded to me. I don't blame her for being overwhelmed and giving up on my child, as I've seen the utter chaos in the classroom. But my children were actually top of their classes at their previous school, which was rated 8/10. We only moved here because I'm in graduate school, and I feel so guilty. If you want your child to be safe from bullies (students and staff) and actually learn how to pass tests without last minute cheap tricks, don't send them here. I'm taking out loans to move out of district and save my children. DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKE. It'll take years for them to heal and get back to where they were before coming here.

Jane Long Intermediate School is a wonderful school because it has an amazing flex program that my son is in. They also have some wonderful teachers. If you bring your kid up here you will love it.

Our two children had an outstanding experience at SFA. They were challenged immensely academically, and enjoyed the experience of a variety of extra-curricular activities, both in athletics and fine arts. The teaching staff is passionate, and offered opportunities to gain tutoring outside of the classroom. We did not have any negative experiences on this campus, and are excited for our third child to attend as a 7th grader in 2022-2023.
