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.

I wouldn't choose any school over this one the teachers are amazing they make you feel like family. The people are amazing you create life long friendships with other students, The lunch has to be one of the best school lunches in Texas, and the administration has done a great job making sure the seniors are sure with what they want to do and are doing everything they can to get them there.

The school overall is a pleasant school, it has some if the best and most passionate teachers and staff I have ever met, but is hampered by administration issues and issues with reaching a mutual cooperation with students.

It was an average experience, but the high school is not developed and does not have enough money as other high schools in other cities. For example, college station, Houston, and other cities in Texas have much nicer high schools.
