Alamo Heights Independent School District

• School District

Senior: Alamo Heights High School allows their students to be involved in a number of different activities at the same time. Whether it be athletics, fine arts or other school clubs all the faculty is very aware of the activities going on and are able to accommodate students who have a lot going on in their very busy schedules. The faculty itself is beyond what I've seen in many other high schools in the area, the majority of the teachers love what they are teaching and you can tell in their curriculum. The academic faculty is outstanding and the faculty that are coaches and/or teachers for the fine arts are all very invested in their jobs and you can see that through the way their students perform on the field and through their instruments. Overall a fantastic high school and so glad that I was able to attend for all four years of my high school career.

Fort Sam Houston Independent School District

• School District

Alum: Fort Sam Houston School District is one with a excellent academics program. There were plenty of ways to get tutoring and one on one help with any of problems I was having with school work. I would say the only thing that needs improve is accepting every student for who they are and letting them express themselves. The administration seldom listened to the students when they had ideas that were actually really bright ideas. It was more of, if you weren't popular or excelling academically, you got pushed to the side.

Lackland Independent School District

• School District
• San Antonio, TX
• 3

Freshman: Lackland Independent School District is a small school, which is a positive. I enjoy the low student teacher ratio, the academic support, and I feel safe because the school is on a military installation. The school also offers a variety of sports and extracurricular activities. Of course, It would be nice if there were more food options for breakfast and lunch, more information about scholarships for college and more support for athletics. Overall, Lackland Independent School District is an excellent school.

Northside Independent School District (San Antonio)

• School District
• San Antonio, TX
• 426

Senior: Northside Independent School District contains many schools that exceed standards, but also many more that fall below them. The "good schools" are generally newer, in better neighborhoods and/or have better funding based on test scores. This is creating a widening gap in between the better and worse schools. Therefor things like Administration, Food, Facilities, and Parent Involvement suffer in the places they are most required. However, both better and worse schools have an excellent level of diversity, especially high schools housing magnet schools. The level of diversity encourages a union of differing students to the common goal of getting through high school. This builds up a good School Culture, and makes experiences in Clubs & Activities rich and rewarding.

Senior: I grew up and spent all 13 years of official school years in the school district of Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD and i must admit it was humbling. Not only dd the teachers inspire me, but the staff as well. Each and very person i met working for this wonderfully welcome district had smiles on their faces from mooring to night. I was taught the morality's of respect, love, and responsibility alongside the core material. I loved growing with this community while having the chance to meet new people and bond with new teachers and administrators. This district has successfully prepared for the years to come in college. I would love to thank this district for its principles or hard word and dedication, they have really impacted my life for the best.

Boerne Independent School District

Junior: Being new to Boerne High School as an incoming junior, I did not expect the environment of students and staff to be so friendly and helpful! My counselor was always very supportive in my academic needs, and many of my teachers were eager to help. I found my home in the theatre department of BHS; it was AMAZING. There's also some great events the school has to boost morale, and sports events get really exciting.

Overall, most teachers push you to be your best self and there's something for everyone at Boerne High, whether it be the art, architecture, floral design, student leadership, math clubs, and much more.

I would definitely recommend Boerne High School to creative, driven students!

Alum: Comal ISD truly cares about their students! I only went to this district for 2 years, but beforehand I went to a terrible school district and learning program. Comal ISD has advanced learning tactics to challenge their students and not to mention they have some of the best, most caring educators I've ever come across. The area is expensive, but well worth it. I've personally never struggled in school, but my brother has and needs that extra attention in which his school gives and now he loves school! Highly recommend Comal ISD for anybody!

East Central Independent School District

Senior: My experience overall at East Central High School was pretty good and something that I'll never forget and look back on it. The community was great, it was welcoming and a calm area minus the road kill. Sports were amazing and really made the best of my high school experience. Our athletic directing staff were so caring for every single athlete. Education was definitely a plus, teachers go out there way to make sure every student has the help they need. Diversity plays a big role in any college while East Central we have exchange students here, all races so we all get an opportunity to meet and enjoy each others company. I believe we should change the equal share of support, football gets cheerleaders, pep rallies, etc. Track gets nothing as that such unless we ask months in advance. If they had the same support that did with football I personally believe our sports would be a lot more appreciative.

Medina Valley Independent School District

• School District
• Castroville, TX
• 23

Senior: I love that Medina Valley provides a safe environment, and is close knit. The teachers and staff are a huge support, and they genuinely care about what grades the students earn, and where they are headed after graduation. The 'strict' protocols students have to abide by, are lessons in themselves. An example would be, carrying around an ID in school now is a huge drag, but later on when students need to carry their ID's, they will remember and reminisce on how carrying an ID was so horrible. The students and staff have a great relationship, making the learning process run smoothly. The small school has a perk, it's easier to find classes! Overall, Medina Valley is, "the best high school in Texas!"

Southwest and Southwest Legacy high school are very strong in their school culture.

Alum: San Antonio school district had so many resources available to us to get us prepared for college. We were even enrolled in an Alamo college before we graduated! Several universities came to visit and we were exposed to many opportunities. The food wasn’t great, and the administration was a little tougher than in other areas I had attended school in, but overall SAISD really cared about the success of their graduates.

Senior: The school's culture and diversity are highly valued among the students'. It is a school that offers opportunities that are career-oriented, like ACE Mentor Program, FFA, Robotics, Audio Video Productions, Philosophical Science, etc. There are a vast majority of clubs & organizations, such as Immigration Reform committee, ACE Mentor Program, Interact Club, Story-tellers, etc. South San Antonio ISD has given students' a brighter future and the accessibility of opportunities despite coming from the south side of San Antonio. South San has given the students the experience that they will never forget. This could not have been done without the support from the faculty and staff, and most importantly, the community.

Judson Independent School District

• School District
• Live Oak, TX
• 59

Alum: Judson ISD is a very good school district on account of its diversity, great sports programs, great teachers, and good safety protocols. With its diversity comes different point of views and ways to learn, which can help students thrive academically due to the various methods of teaching and learning. On top of very good academics Judson ISD also has amazing sports programs especially the high schools, and those programs are a good way for a child to learn how to be a part of a team, set academic standards (because it's no pass no play), and take steps toward being a leader in the community by engaging in community service. Judson ISD also has a good safety protocol, so there's no need to worry about the little ones or older children while they're at school. When you take all this into account you will realize exactly why Judson ISD is a very good school district, it excels in all the important things that will make your child a better overall person.

School of Science & Technology Discovery

• School District
• Leon Valley, TX

Middle School Student: It's a pretty decent school, but it really caters to a specific type of student. I have peers who struggle because they won't put in the time or effort to do their work. The only thing I think needs to change is administration. This 2016-2017 school year was the first year that I've been here (I've been going here since the 2013-2014 school year) where I felt they weren't scared to hold back students and I think it's great. The students that I personally knew that were held back were students who deserved it. However, I feel like they're still too lenient. There are students here who never put in any effort and horrible towards their teachers, yet they're still allowed to attend there even though they should have been expelled a long time ago. They always tell us that "we are lucky to go here because their waiting list is currently long and that they could easily replace us." Yet they never actually do that and there are kids who definitely deserve to be here instead.

Ever since I moved to Somerset my grades have been A's and B's and I have been involved in many organizations to increase my leadership skills.Moving was the best decision I've had, on the other hand, I would like to see more parent involvement because they do not know of the requirements they need to do in-order for their children to go to college.

Parent: As a parent of a Brooks Academy student I am pleased with the academic curriculum which allows my child to challenge his intelligence in ways that are unimaginable. Compared to other schools they have attended in the past, I feel my child has learned so much and shown his full potential. I am proud to say he will be graduating this year from this academy with honors. The only downside I see is the staff not staying there for too long. Has nothing to do with students they do great work with them. I say this from experience cause my child was receiving letters from universities since he was in 10th grade! you don't see this very often.

Southside Independent School District

Alum: What I liked about Southside Independent School district is the diversity between students. At this school you would find people who were from different cities and countries of the world. No one was ever left out or shunned, you were excepted and you were never left behind. What I would like to see change is the teachers and how they would academically teach us. Teachers in this district don't really focus on making the students better in a certain subject or making us succeed on tests it's a "every man for themselves" situation which just defeats the purpose of having a teacher.
