This school is a great school if you are strongly involved in PTA or your student is in the top 20% of their class. The school will cater to your child and give them what they need to be successful. However if you are not in the PTA and your child is average or below average or has learning issues then you might want to look elsewhere for education. The school either can not or will not take the time to work with these type of children. They are more interested in receiving high TCAPS and making their numbers look good. Teachers at this school have actually stated that average and below average students that receive C D or even F grades was ok. My advice: do not go to this school. My first child went but I will not send my second.
