I like that i can be myself and no one judge me! May least favorite thing is the way that some teachers approach situations due to certain places that they have. Like if someone's an ad they shouldn't have the right to feel in charge and take over the teachers parts.

Rains High school was not a great school, while there were many welcoming and friendly students many were not. Those many very rarely face any sort of punishment. The counselor was not very interested in helping us seniors to get prepared for college she wanted to focus on the freshman and was of little help to those of us who had no idea what we were to do or how to do it.

Rains High School is too focused on sports and extracurricular activities and not focused on the students classroom experience. We lose many teachers every year and new teachers are under qualified for the classes they're teaching

The teaching is amazing. If you send your child here, they will definitely have a great leaning experience. However, the disciplinary process is a bit messed up. And bullying is definitely a thing here.

We've had our child in several schools, and Rains ISD is by far the worst. They send my kid home, throwing up, and then gave him an unexcused absence. Worse, it wasn't a mistake, it's simply a misguided policy.
