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 experience with Conrad has been amazing so far. I have joined choir, modern band, PTSA, NHS and I'm the student council Secretary for the 2024-2025 school year. I'm able to take college classes and graduate with my associates degree as well as my high school diploma. I'm grateful to the teachers and administrators for their work.

Overall, the experience at Conrad High School was great. I mostly had teachers that showed interest in their class and I was able to have good grades. Electives were pretty good i especially enjoyed band. One of the worst parts personally was waiting in line for lunch as it took some time to finally get lunch. Besides that I feel everything else is decent.

New principal every couple of years (Fitzgibbon was the only good leader), staff like to bicker among each other and cause drama more than the kids. This school is the basic DISD trash heap, the staff, for the most part, can care less for the kids and are targeted and run down by very poor administr...
