I have been in this district since elementary and i believe that they have done a great job keeping kids educated and disciplined. I feel that i have learned from the teachers and subjects more than others can say.

My experience with the school was pretty decent. The building is stable, and the teachers teach in a way that I can understand. There is also a great variety of classes that are available for students to take.

There is definatley favoritism here. I had no idea how I was going to make it in college. If it weren't for friends from other schools to help me, I would have never gotten my undergraduate degree. I am currently working on my Masters at the University of Texas at San Antonio no thanks to counselors...
