I've been enrolled in the Richardson Independent School District since fall 2015. Since then i've had multiple ups and downs attending schools in this district. As a young black girl there is racial discrimination, unfairness, and bullying. Some schools don't do anything about it. I'd like to see some real leaders stand up to racial discrimination and bullying, especially to young black children in predominantly white neighborhoods and attend the predominantly white school. Moving to more diverse schools like Richardson High School really made a difference, they don't discriminate and they have many opportunities for minorities in school and for people who struggle with success.
I attended RISD schools my entire K-12 education, from 2005-2018. I went to ACM, Westwood, and Richardson HS. I loved my time at all 3 schools respectively, and am so grateful for the education I received, especially having been at magnet schools. I wouldn't trade my time in RISD for the world! Hoping to come back and teach in this wonderful district once I finish grad school in May!
I really liked going to school in Richardson ISD. It is very diverse and I have made friends with backgrounds very different from my own. It made me aware of many different cultures and beliefs from the comfort of my own school.
RISD also gave me the opportunity to excel in many interests due to the Magnet Programs available in the district. I was fortunate to attend elementary, middle and high school magnet schools.
I feel the education that I received here in RISD schools has prepared me for life outside of school. I will be able to attend college already prepared for the diversity that most don't experience prior to higher education, as well as the work force which is no longer centralized as it was in previous generations.
