GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As opposed to most Texas schools, the arts and sports are equally balanced and nourished for future growth and support. Parents, students, faculty and locals all gather around to support all school activities.

The school offers many alternative classes as students progress further in their academics. While many of the lower classmen are constricted to some of the more basic core classes due to state testing, the upper classmen have a better variety of classes to choose from when it comes to core classes.

This school is located on a small island known for its alcohol and drug use. The kids here have no outlets other than hanging at the beach and partying. While its not the school's fault, this is not a great place for your kids.
