In the Killeen ISD district I would say that Shoemaker is not a bad choice to attend to. The staff does focus on making sure the students are safe and it has a lot less problems comparing it to other schools in the district.

Shoemaker High School brought me many opportunities during my time as a student. I was able to get my associate's degree and my CPT while in high school without payment. The clubs are the heart of the school and if you go looking for a place to belong you will find it. The staff is always willing to help and you will meet people who want you to be successful. While like any high school, there are things to be picky about there is nowhere else I'd rather be an alum of. GO GRAYWOLVES!!!
