I have attended the Caverna Independent School district my whole entire life. As a senior this year, I have grown with the many changes that have come and are coming to our school district. Our school district knows how to show resilience and we strive through the storms.

The quality of teachers...amazing. All of them. Now some could learn a thing or two from another but over all they control their classes like pros. They engage the students with conversation and education. They're approachable in and out of class. I even have a teacher who found this new meetme app that allows you to use your phone to text questions to the teacher if they feel uncomfortable asking it aloud. Honestly I've been to four schools and this one has the best set of teachers.

Amazing school!!! Staff and administrators take each child’s success to heart and make decisions to help them reach their goals and be prepared for their future. Small system means personal relationships and more attention to detail.

This school is a joke to the American education system, it stands on top of the stereotypes. The quality of the school is already terrible, it can't even be kept clean, Bed bugs, Mice, etc. We, students, talk so bad about this school behind their backs, the way they teach here is shameful. Ever sinc...
