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.

Pretty close to everyone and small classes. The best part of school is being in my practicum ag classes, the worst parts are when I have a lot of homework.

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

The school is perfect for our small town. Technology, we are trying to be up to date with it. College courses provided are great, I think that is one of the best things about our school. Parent involvement, parents usually go to the school to complain a lot, or to go defend their child. The buses, I don't ride the bus to school but when we take trips out of town, the buses are reliable.
