I had a fairly good experience in this school district, but there were things that bothered me, along with other students. For example, the school board was more focused on what we were wearing instead of actual issues like kids doing drugs in the bathrooms. Another thing that bothered me was school became more about passing instead of learning. This is how it is almost everywhere, not just here. However, there was things that I liked. For example, there were teachers and staff that were focused on the students learning instead of just being there to do their job. I still would have preferred to not have had to worry about if what I was wearing was “allowed by the dress code”.
I'd like to see more textbooks checked out to students, and more one on one teacher involvement. Not to mention, the actual school building is in terrible condition. The ceilings are caving in, and anytime it rains, the classrooms flood. Our gym floor actually came up and was touching the ceiling form being so swollen with water damage. I do love how college oriented this school is. They're on top of helping everybody doing their applications and applying for different schools. The staff is very friendly and I love the counselors.
The only school I have ever attended is the Aransas Pass Independent District so I cannot really compare it to anything else. However, my over 12 years of attending there has given me quite an opinion. First thing that I can say is that teachers never work there longer than 5 years. Our English department is not very well off and the entirety of our education program is the push-over type. The lessons rarely ever try to challenge the students and any advanced placement classes that are offered are only offered online which are even worse. Craving to be challenged, I took these classes and spent my four years of my high school career in a computer lab for almost 8 hours a day. It wasn't very fun, nor did I learn much. Before my senior year started, Hurricane Harvey made its way through and made the district even worse than it was before. However, I still like my little town and am glad that I got to grow up here. The school just needs a little attention and TLC though.
