7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHaving come from a big city, the kids at this middle school seem well behaved for middle school standards. No horsing around allowed during pick up. Staff seems to be courteous. Other than that, the education quality is far behind bigger cities. A huge concern is that it's not a closed campus. At this day and age, more should be done to keep schools safe with at least, closed gates. Also, pick up is always a nightmare, as lines can be lengthy, and nothing is done from administration to improve it.Parent Review3y ago - Veterans Memorial High School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageExcelente preparatoria. Desde pequeño mu hijo demostró cualidades extraodinarias en su inteligencia, es GT (gifted and talented). Para mediados de middle school tenÃamos vista esta escuela para continuar su educación preparatoria. Su maestros de ciencias y matemà ticas dieron amplias recomendaciones para que mi hijo estudiara allà desde que es una escuela que promueve clases avanzadas (AP) y de honor. Empezando 11 grados solo toman clases de crédito de colegio. Desde 11 grado sus clases son todas en UTRGV con sus crédito de colegio. Gradúan su preparatoria y también un asociado en UTRGV. El ambiente es muy cercano con profesores y directivos. El campus es seguro y tener pocos estudiantes comparados a las otras high schools de la ciudad hace un ambiente mas personalizado para los estudiantes. Es inclusiva en cuanto a las necesidades especiales de los estudiantes y fácil obtener los servicios recomendados. Muy buena elección si su hijo esta enfocafo en sus estudios y quiere llevar al máximo sus capacidades.Parent Review1y ago
