I love my school, but I believe that somethings need to change. For an example; the security in the school. They want everyone save, but they are forgetting the truly facts that connect about the safety of the students. We can have a lot of policemen and still unsafe. What I mean, in my school is more important “dress-code”, “perfect attendance” or “no skipping” than the real gravity about the kids with drugs. However, in academics is really great, all my teachers are fantastic and they really teach you in a fantastic way to learn!
The district has provided students with the basic learning that should be provided to each student. However, their main focus point has been state exams, which can shift prioritization over other important subject matter. BISD has been a great help to many financially disadvantaged people, as it provides public schools to everyone. BISD has always advocated for parent involvement in the students' learning environment, and has also kept in their best efforts to have the resources needed for many disadvantaged students. Aside from providing their best form of learning, BISD also provides help to the homeless students and provides meals to those who cannot afford a meal after school.
Having first hand experience from being a student from the three-year old program through the 12th grade at Brownsville's Independent School District, I came upon notice that the district holds very conservative views. Albeit it promoting otherwise, staff and administration are very open to their beliefs and views. I did appreciate my high school teachers since I was able to take advanced/college courses. Taking these courses changed the environment with who you were with in class and changed the levels of teaching, which i appreciate now that I am a college student. Pace High school did prepare me for the future after all, and gave me the high school experience as they showcase in movies. Pace included many extracurricular activities and excelled in the STEM program. For being a public school, I am proud to say that I grew up attending this school with such high school spirits, rather than any charter or private schools that were available in my area.
