I have been at Life school since second grade. I met my best friend and all my friends at Life school. I had the best teachers in elementary, and they made learning so exciting. In fourth grade through sixth grade they took us to a lot of colleges like Baylor and Texas A&M. Those was the best times, we hung out with our friends and learned a lot about the different schools. The best part about elementary is the unbreakable friendships I made. Middle school was all about finding who you are and fingering out who you are going to be life. In seventh grade I start playing sports like volleyball, basketball, and track & field. I was really bad in the academic part but since I didn't really pass my classes I could not play. My eighth grade year was no better in the beginning I was playing around with my grades ,then sports started to slip off the table for my high school year. I had to get my grades together and I did so I got to play my whole track&field season. I feel really for now.
I have been enrolled in Life School since Kindergarten and I'm currently a Junior at Life Oak Cliff - Secondary. I have enjoyed the teachers, staff and have had a great academic experience. The teachers are qualified and know their subject area content. The teachers really care about their students and their overall academic success. I have been able to receive and attend dual credit classes at Mountain View Community college since I was in the tenth grade. I feel that I will more than prepared to continue my education at the college level. My counselor has supplied me with tools to apply for academic scholarships and I'm aware of my current grade point average and class rank for the 2019 graduating class. I'm excited about my upcoming senior year and the events planned for the graduating class of 2019. I'm on track with my credits needed to graduate and my STAAR scores. I know that I will graduate with Honors and a two year Associate Degree!

Life school is tremendous for students to attend. This school is a big family everyone gets to know one another. With it being a 3A it makes class sizes small that lets the teacher know the student. Teacher customized lessons to make sure everyone can understand and always have tutoring hours. The school facilities are not the best or are the administrative team. This school also has a sister school that most money goes to. With the bad comes well they offer an extremely well duel credit program that is fully paid for student. When you finish school students can have an associate's degree and a high school diploma.
