Senior: Honestly one of the best experiences that I have ever had. The school is very safe for all students, there is no bullying, the teachers actually care about the students and will try to help them in any way that they can, and the school is expanding. This means that there will be even more opportunities for future generations that come to this school. As someone that has been coming here since 3rd grade, I recommend it!...Read 77 Reviews

PSJA Thomas Jefferson T-STEM Early College H.S.

• Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• Rating 4.31 out of 5  128 reviews

Senior: This school is truly amazing. They consistently rank amongst the highest in Texas, and it's well earned. The school is considerably smaller than other schools in the region making class sizes smaller and personalized help possible. Many students graduate high school with an Associate's Degree from South Texas College and all students graduate with the Distinguished Level of Achievement diploma. Everybody is expected to enroll in AP classes regardless whether or not you feel like you can handle the workload. This means that although the AP participation is high, AP Exam pass rates are very low. Teachers are expected to teach the AP curriculum to students that may not fully understand it. That being said, it is very possible to pass AP Exams while attending Thomas Jefferson. It might take some self-studying because of the slower paces some classes go, but it has been done. Don't let this deter you from taking the opportunity of attending this campus, I'm confident you won't regret it...Read 128 Reviews

IDEA College Prep - Pharr

• Public School
• PHARR, TX
• 6-12
• Rating 4.09 out of 5  64 reviews

Senior: Idea Pharr has been such an incredible and memorable experience being such a small school we became a family. We bonded throughout our years in junior high and high school. I can say that we learned from each other and have been there at our lowest and highest. Our tight knit school has the most outstanding teachers, they have given us unconditional support. Not to mention that we take advanced classes since junior high with more than 10 credits. We are able to experience the college classes earlier and be able to see just a glimpse of what college is since junior high. We also have the opportunity to travel for a whole week and get to visit prestigious schools such as Harvard University, Texas A&M college station and UT Austin amongst other schools. We are able to interact with the professors and see actual classes we also are able to talk to former idea students that actually attend those schools. So I can say that this schools is by far the best ever...Read 64 Reviews

Senior: I liked how the staff was very helpful anytime I needed assistance and the teachers taught the subjects crystal clear. I was always well informed on any college readiness programs and what the requirements were to enroll. The school was very in touch with the culture since they would celebrate chinese new years, dia de los muertos, and had celebrations for various cultures. The core subjects were taught to me perfectly and i understood everything well enough to pass my classes...Read 198 Reviews

Senior: Some of my best years were spent at PSJA North Early College High School. I was actually a transfer student and, honestly, I wish I moved sooner. The school has managed to create a welcoming environment filled with both a sense of pride and community. Not only that but as it is an early college high school they promote college readiness and hold each and every student to a higher standard...Read 239 Reviews
