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 was always excited about high school, and Cinco didn't let me down. The pep rallies and dances were always fun and enjoyable. The teachers were nice and understanding as well.

Since I have been in cinco I met all the people that I'm around so it's a very special place where teachers are kind and caring about each student

The best experience I have had in this school is having a diverse number of friends and teachers. I am glad that I had no bad experiences socially, unlike others who got into fights and arguments. I am pleased to see that they upheld security even tighter during my senior year as there are less fights between students. I would like to see more of the adults actually caring for the students and encouraging them by helping them more emotionally and mentally.

These people will never give you a heads up there’s a problem w your child’s grades but will happily send you an email AFTER they fail. Please note they charge for summer...
