The overall curriculum expectations are so high here, but that's simply because we have some of the best teachers in the state here! Our students win national and state level competitions all the time, and our overall atmosphere exudes confidence.
The only real thing I have problems with are that the school is so competitive that some students that would be valedictorians at any other school become top 20% students here. We also have many, many students per class so you really have to compete for the attention of the teachers in some classes. The classes aren't tough to pass, but to keep track of more than 2 AP classes in one year is just exhausting and makes the experience stressful. This stress is assuaged slightly by the school events such as Jacket Feast (a day where food trucks from downtown DFW are available during lunch time) and Dodgeball/Volleyball tournaments though. Regardless of these cushiony extras, the school is high quality but difficult.

Rockwall Independent School District (RISD) was some of the best schools in Texas, and their teachers outstanding! One of the only draw backs is from the lack luster IT department that hardly gets anything done. After taking part in multiple computer based classes, I can say that while the equipment is good, the programs, internet, and transition between terms are rather slow. However, the sports programs are incredible as well as the many different extra curricular clubs and activies.
