O'connor High School

Let me start off with I am a huge supporter of public education, our teachers and give a lot of second, third, fourth chances. Texas schools are a 3rd world country so if you're up north or east, stay.O'Connor administration is weak, biased, and it's not pro-student, at all. They are pro-funding and won't deal with poor teachers. The chemistry classes have 1 classroom with natural gas for bunson burners and 1 classroom with a vent hood that works. 800+ students....1 chemistry class with functional equipment. The teachers don't have paper to print assignments. The school's mandatory laptop computers have NO YOUTUBE CONTROLS. My kid watched anime for 5 hours a day. I'm not kidding, we check his history. The teachers pass kids just to get rid of them. If a parent argues, get an A. The good teachers are leaving. This is our third kid at OHS and we cannot wait to be through.Test score are Pathetic. Check yourself. The Administrators are apathetic and just want parents to go away. The teachers hate their jobs and I would to if I worked there. We have donated hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars and the school just keeps deteriorating.

I had two daughters attend O'Connor High School and both went on to obtain higher degrees. They were well prepared for college and the academic competition they had to endure to excel. I am very pleased they were so well prepared. O'Connor provides a good overall high school experience with many additional programs, such as the Ag Program, that encourage students to join extracurricular clubs/organizations to enhance the high school experience. Both my daughters participated in the Ag program and as a family, we enjoyed many activities associated with this program.

If you child has special needs they allow coaches to look over them these coaches think it is ok to bully and even touch the kids to cause a reaction, I have video and voice on file. If your child tell you about the issue they will believe they coach and not your child. I will be talking to parents who have had kids in the BMC class to see their experience. the only option they gave me to protect my son from BMC Behavior Management class is a list of 30 other schools. Unbelievable. More info to come, this this is sensored I will inform you,.

2 children having gone through this school, I can't say enough positive things starting with the principle and throughout the teachers and staff

Horribly Poor! If I could do it all over again I would’ve have purchased a home elsewhere as this high school and the lack of leadership, administrative presence has been a huge issue for our student that even resulted in professional help. I can’t believe it is tolerated like it is especially in programs where leadership and character should be building blocks. I also cannot believe the coaching staff and in this day and age of cyber bullying that there is not more of a presence in locker rooms and students torment and photographer one another and post on social media.
