I subbed here today and it was the worst experience I’ve ever had in my 2 years subbing all over the city. A fight broke out in the hall, a student set something on fire, and multiple students just left. When I called the office to report that students were leaving, I got the voicemail, and no one ever called back, so they were just gone. The students have absolutely no respect for their peers or teachers. I had things thrown at me, was called a slur, and multiple students yelled at me. I’ve had my fair share of bad sub days, but this absolutely takes the cake. The school culture here is the worst I’ve ever seen. Even the office staff were short with me when I asked them questions about procedures in the morning.

This school doesn't help the kids that need xtra help. Instead of helping my kid with her Reading they just let her fail. She received nothing but 3 and 4's all year long except Reading. They helped the Spanish speaking students, but not mine... they informed me all late in the year that my kid will be held back. I kept asking if there was any help at school? and they would say no. At the end of the year they inform me that they needed my permission to have her pulled out of the classroom to get her the help she needed, really with less than 6wks. ? and they still didn't really offer me to sign anything? ?... The bilingual program they offered just confused my kid and I my friends kid to this day... Her new teacher at her present has told me BY LAW with her low scores in Reading she should've got help not not retained another full year !! Especially since they knew about her low scores early in the year.. she feels my kid was cheated and I totally agree... She should've got her some help....

This is one of the best schools is Austin! I hope it continues to do great as it has been these past few years!
