When I would be in class and study most of the kids would mess around,and were loitering around the classroom.And since this was math class (My weakest subject) I could not focus well and had to get my period changed just so I can focus.And one of our vice principles is pretty racist,for example lets say a black girl and a Hispanic girl got into a fight she'd give the black girl a warning (Even though she got plenty of warnings) and would either give 2 referrals or would have called the parents even if the other girl started it first.And the final nail to the coffin is when my advisory teacher would use us for child labor to do her work,give so much assignments and has severe anger issues.She may seem sweet and nice but shes not.I'll just tell you this that shes in the reveur house.I'll let you find out whats her name.Overall the school was not the best in my perspective,if you want you/your child to go in this school then try to apply to TAG to have a better experience than mines.

They have no text books so when my student comes home to do homework, there is nothing to reference which makes it difficult to help when help is needed. Parents are 100% relying on the parent p...

One of the best schools in the Dallas area. The teachers are dedicated and really love working with the students. Unlike some of the magnet schools in Dallas, it is part of a neighborhood middle school so the students have access to all the sports, music, and clubs that a traditional school has to o...
