I have never seen a more disrespectful school. The staff is rude, and it reminds me of a mean girls club. Do not send your kids here if you want them to actually learn. Texas has school choice now, send your child to a school that will actually care about them. I have never seen a school so disinterested in if their students actually learn. If you're not in one of their clicks they do not care. You have to fight to get your child the resources they need or to even do their jobs. When they do do their jobs they act like they are put out or insulted. At one time this school district may have been good as is evidence by reviews from years ago. But times have changed do not send your child here. They will not learn.

"Around here, owners seem to mistreat their dogs. There are plenty of ambulances, so if your dog were to howl, many people would get mad as not everybody in this area likes dogs. They probably wouldnt like this area, as people do not hesitate to call the cops on your dog, even if they hadnt done anything. There are a lot of bikers and people who walk throughout the neighborhood, so if your dog regularly chases people, then it would not be the best place for them."
