    Middle School Student: This school has really impacted my life. Not only are the teachers so loving and amazing, the students never fail to make you feel a part of a family. Love this school. I came there in 2016 as a "sevie" and grew into a mature eight grader. Many memories will stay with me forever. Many challenges (its not that hard if you actually try) and educational opportunities. Just come here, it is a really good school with good humor. I never failed to smile whenever i got off the bus and into the cafeteria with the nicest lunch ladies. Say hi to Mr, Romero for me.

    Mater Dei High School

    • Private School
    • Santa Ana, CA
    • 9-12
    • 493

    Senior: Mater Dei High School is the best thing that has happened to me! Before coming to Mater Dei, I didn’t have a sense of direction on what I wanted out of my high school experience. I wanted to be a student, an athlete, a student leader, and just get involved in everything. Mater Dei allowed me to do all of that and even allowed me the opportunity to create my own clubs. I have had the opportunity to set myself up to go to remarkable universities and have made so many great connections in my four years here. There is no place that I would have rather gone. Mater Dei is my home and my family.

    • 9-12
    • 176
    #2 Best Magnet High Schools in Brownsville Area

    Senior: South Texas Academy for Medical Professions is without a doubt the best school in the South Texas area. The well-educated teachers, challenging academics, and college preparedness are only part of the reason why the school is so highly looked upon, but the resources available to students is what seals the deal. Technology is available to students literally at all times. Flat screens used to correlate to the curriculum, laptops or iPads available in almost every classroom, an open library that holds computers, printers, scanners, and even laptops, USB'S, cameras. and Wi-Fi hotspots that students can check out and take home! The acceptance of an advancing technology in the classroom is a part of the reason that the school is ranked top 20 in the state. Unlimited resources combined with the proper knowledge given by the educated health professionals is why Medical Academy is a part of one of the most successful school districts in Texas.

  7. Sharyland Advanced Academic Academy

    • Sharyland Independent School District, TX
    • 9-10
    • 16

    Alum: What I loved about Sharyland Advanced Academic Academy is the community that is built throughout the years. Since I was with the first generation group, we were the guinea pigs of the experiments. as a result, this led the students and faculty to grow to a personal level where a student could seek counseling from a teacher and simultaneously learn from them. The faculty, for the most part, felt like an older sibling. Always guiding us every step of the way. Since we were such a small class, everyone knew each other and we all got along pretty well with the teachers and staff. At times we would call them by their first name outside of class.

  11. Veterans Memorial Early College High School

    • Brownsville Independent School District, TX
    • 9-12
    • 546
    #5 Best Magnet High Schools in Brownsville Area

    Senior: The experience(s) I encountered attending Veterans Memorial High School, and continue on doing so for the next 4 months until I graduate, was difficult and pleasant at times! Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed every moment of living though the high school experience here, wouldn't have done it anywhere else. The administration, staff, and student body, is the reason why it's the best campus in the district, and the most awarded school. Along with the "High standard title" the school made for its self, it does live up the expectations, but sadly some teachers that attend their themselves that are lazy, don't help with the recognizing title.

    • 9-12
    • 256

    Senior: Pace Early College High School was a great high school to attend. It enforced discipline and motivation. It helped students strive for success an was always involved in making sure students were academically, emotionally, and physically well! Pace has lots of school spirit and for that I am proud! It gave me an opportunity to be part of the dance team for all for years and really boosted my self-esteem! My school loves to give back to the community and help out those in need or just to clean up our city! The staff were all so helpful and always supporting sports/organizations. overall my experience has been going splendid! James Pace High educates students, Graduates leaders and empowers the community!

  14. Rivera Early College High School

    • Brownsville Independent School District, TX
    • 9-12
    • 244

    Senior: I am on my last and final year of high school. It's been a long and intresting ride. While at Rivera I have grown with my peers in ways that I never would have imagined. I am fortunate to have been blessed with wise and knowledgeable teachers and with the opportunity to begin my college education while in high school. I am proud to be a Raider, and would recommend coming here to future high school students. If there is one thing that I would improve at this school it would be our auditorium. It's nearly less than a quater in size when comparing our theater to the other schools in our district. Lastly, I would also say that our football seasons have not been successfull in the past few years for a reason I am not certian of. If there is any possible way to improve our school it would greatly be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

  15. Hanna Early College High School

    • Brownsville Independent School District, TX
    • 9-12
    • 658

    Senior: I enjoy attending this campus very much! I've met so many new people these past years and I am so thankful for that. I truly believe this school is great and everyone can be friendly; however, I also believe that this school can reach it's full potential. I definitely suggest an improvement in the college readiness field of the campus. Teachers are already doing a great job at getting students prepared, but there can still be a little bit of a push to meet that excellent standard. All I ask for is to be ready for college because once I work for my degree, I'm going to earn it the right way.

  16. Porter Early College High School

    • Brownsville Independent School District, TX
    • 9-12
    • 208

    Senior: Porter is a great school, it has a little of everything and that's what makes it cool! I like how most of the teacher teach they actually put effort on teaching. The rules that they are are pretty simple its not that hard to follow them. But you know you always have those kids that they just dont. The food is one of the things that i dont like well just when they give the fruit salad thats the best! Other than that everything else is alright I wouldn't change anything at school well just the food.

  19. Lopez Early College High School

    • Brownsville Independent School District, TX
    • 9-12
    • 605

    Senior: I loved the environment. The teachers would help you in anything you didn't understand. Your peers would offer to help you. I didn't like the food they gave, but they did their very best. They are outstanding in sports! They encourage you to do your very best on everything. I would change the system some teachers work because they need to improve their techniques in college readiness. Many students are not ready for college and some don't know the basics.
