I was in high school before and after the Covid-19 pandemic had first hit and I can say that they handled the situation pretty decently. There weren't that many downsides and overall, my time at Port Isabel High School was good.

Port Isabel High School is a good place to be at. I have had a fun experience when joining their extracurriculars like band, UIL, DECA, and athletics. But like every school, Port Isabel HS should change the way the administration handles any issues occurring during school. I feel like they have been paying attention to the dress codes more than issues with the students and the school (violence).

I was a student at Port Isabel High School. I'm not a junior at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). You may read comments from parents and students disparaging the school, but, in my personal opinion, it is what you make of it. Students can obviously get a good education or else I wouldn't...
