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.

The best part of my school experience is that they welcome me with open arms when i first came to this district. It was difficult at first to understand how the school worked but my counselor helped me. The worse part of the schools is how the building its build because i still get lost trying to find my classes. There are also many ways to go to your class so it gets confusing. But overall its a very good school.

My four years at Socorro High school were great memories from the friends that I had as well as the teachers I had. I liked all my teachers and I had a great bond with most of them. They really did care about your education the only sad part is not many students cared to be in class. I saw many things and learned many things but what I enjoyed the most was getting to play volleyball. I loved the rush and the excitement I would get as well as the nervousness. It was a fun experience that I miss to this day and it was fun while it lasted. Other than that I'd say that my experience there where good just being around friends and just being a kid growing up and maturing learning to be yourself.

Some of the best parts of high school have happened in my Health Professions classes that are a part of the program I am in. I have learned to be more professional and interact with not only my peers but my teachers. I am also on the cheer team which has allowed me to lead my younger teammates and teach them our material. One thing I would like to see change or improve is the parent involvement. My mom is very involved with what is going on at school however I would like to see them more attenuative on campus.

I can’t express how dissatisfied I am with this school. The teachers and staff are only there to exist, and I blame their leader, the Principal. Go above and beyond for your students SHS! Lead by example.

This school might have low ratings, but it doesn't reflect the wonderful and amazing teachers that work there. In times of adversity, the teachers showed their true colors and dedication to their students. They don't mind veering off the lesson plan to help their students cope through this difficult...

I don't know how up to date the data is, but I wanted to add my positive experience. This school offers the HPA programs, that prepares the students for college in the health and medical field.
