O'Connor is an amazing school, but sometimes the lessons in my classes are a bit hard to understand. Otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing.

During the time at O'Connor high school, I have been able to join the junior varsity dance team and be part of the national honor society. These 4 years has taught me a lot and I'm ready to move on and see what my future holds for me in my dream university. With O'Connor I was able to make a lot of friends and feel like a family with my dance team. I have also been able to be one of the officers of my team as a social officer for 2 years.

I think O'Connor has the potential to be a good school and most of the people and teacher really do want to see the kids become great, but the lack of effort from some teachers can make the learning environment not fun and frankly hard to learn. Most of the people are sweet and as a member of the O'Connor cheer team I get to see how things run from that perspective. Overall O'Connor is a good school acdemic wise, but when it comes to socially I think it could use some work.

Male students are often not spoken to if their behavior is poor whereas female students seem overly punished for the same behaviors. This also includes drug activity o...

Let me start off with I am a huge supporter of public education, our teachers and give a lot of second, third, fourth chances. Texas schools are a 3rd world country so if you're up north or east, stay.O'Connor administration is weak, biased, and it's not pro-student, at all. They are pro-funding and...

I had two daughters attend O'Connor High School and both went on to obtain higher degrees. They were well prepared for college and the academic competition they had to endure to excel. I am very pleased they were so well prepared. O'Connor provides a good overall high school experience with many add...
