Overall, the Judge Barefoot Sanders Law Magnet is a great school. The school gives students the opportunity to take AP classes and dual credit classes. There is a variety of extracurricular activities for students to partcipate in. Additionally, students can develop great relationships with their cluster teachers that will always be there to help them.
I am proud to say that I am an alumni of the Judge Barefoot Sanders Law Magnet High School. In order to be accepted you go through an interview process which of the bat suggests how committed they are to accept only the best. My experience at this school was like no other surrounding school or even the country, so I heard. We are not only challenged but also prepared for the real world and college. Because of the opportunities offered, I was able to travel to places I have never been for competition that allowed me to flourish and obtain public speaking skills which is a must in the business world. I also obtained internships with lawyers as part as our classes which got my the job I currently hold at a finance firm in Downtown Dallas. This school has given me more than I could have asked for and I will recommend to any parent or student who are looking for the best high school in the metroplex.
