GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My overall experience with Balmorhea was good. They provide sufficient resources and have somewhat kind people.

Honestly, their are some excellent teachers and there are others that aren't. The excellent ones will be more than happy help you when you have a question. Our school says that there is to be no bullying but it still happens on a regular basis. They try to stop it but I think they would rather let us fend for ourselves. You either have a backbone or you don't. They seem more interested in the gossip and rumors, than trying to solve the issue. The dress code is okay, there were times that I didn't agree with it but now I don't bother with it since I'm about to graduate.

The school is overall great. The strictness and regulations to everything, I will not miss. I would choose this school because I was able to take free online courses. The school awards you with either food, trips or even both when you have succeed at the end of the year.
