Galena Park ISD is a small district in comparison to others in the Greater Houston area. We only have 3 high schools with one school being much larger than the others. I attend Galena Park Higher School, one of smaller schools with about 1,600 students overall, whereas the larger high school is about 1,600 per class! I enjoy my small school; it's like a family and everyone knows everyone. I like not feeling like number roaming the halls. However, I feel like the larger high school has more opportunities. For one, their sports programs, specifically football, is the best in the state having won 2 state titles in the last two years, among other recognitions. Because of that, the district seems to focus more on them making us Galena Park students feeling less than without access to the same opportunities a larger school offers.
I didn't always attend a high school within the Galena Park ISD. I transferred my sophomore year, from an all-girls high school. However, the school along with the district welcomed me with open arms, ensuring that all my safety and academic needs were met. Furthermore, it's important to note that improvements should always be sought within any given situation, as they taught. Therefore, such may be applied to the GPISD. Although, they are greatly encouraging, kind, immensely helpful, and efficient an improvement that may be made is that in reference to order. While attending a high school within the GPISD, I have noted a number of students skipping class, as my teachers like to call them "fountain monitors." Such situation may be tackled by limiting the restroom allowances per day, because many tend to ask to go to the restroom and instead skip class. Lastly, such a correction will go further so to improve the learning and overall. growth of the students. Ensuring a brighter future.
Hello, I am currently a student at Galena Park Independent School District. I have been a student at Galena Park Independent School District for my whole school career. Galena Park Independent School District is one of the best school districts in Texas. From the superintendent to faculty staff to the students, everyone is welcomed here. Galena Park Independent School District is a leader in Texas. This past year with dealing with Covid 19 Galena Park Independent School District has tried their best to cope with this situation. Now I wouldn't say that they are doing the best job but they are still trying and that is what matters. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.
