My school is Okay at everything, they do not go over the top for much at all and they will choose the cheaper option all the time. For example, the school lunch is edible but tastes bad, lacks flavor and diversity. They always fund athletic events though they don't make it far in the uil programs. other organizations like theater, art, and choir get neglected. When theatre needs a bus to compete at a contest, in which they always advance in, they are expected to pay full price. When athletics gets busses for free. This just shows the difference in funding. One thing I don't get about this is that theatrical design from this school always go to state and they are not recognized by the school because theater is "weird or irrelevant". I think that that Theatrical design as well as all other arts should get more recognition.

I would like the school to add more STEM subjects to the curriculum. This would allow students to choose which direction in school they would like to go.

I wa...

Overall, bad ! They have no organization. The teachers don't help struggling students. Kids vape every where and no one does anything. I could go on and on . But don't move to Jarrell and definitely don't choose Jarrell schools
