Parent: Ranked 70th in Texas and 453rd in the nation, Valle Verde ECHS easily outscored other early college high schools within the city. Valle Verde has won numerous recognitions in recent years, including being named a 2017 National Blue Ribbon School, 2019 Texas Honor Roll School, 2019 AVID Site of Distinction, and 2019-2022 Apple Distinguished School. Valle Verde Early College High School is a highly rated. It has 389 students in grades 9-12 with a student-teacher ratio of 21 to 1. This school is the perfects school any student can ever imagine! This is my second year here and all of us, including the teachers, are just like a family. We not only get to graduate with two diplomas, but we also have normal high school experiences like homecoming, prom, spirit week, etc. The variety of clubs we have allows everyone to explore their interests, and if not, it's easy to start a club of your own! I love VVECHS and even after i graduate, i will remain a Spartan forever.... Read 144 reviews

Senior: Great School district, especially Americas High School! Even though many attended virtually, I believe they need to invest in better food for the students. Many students opt to leave campus for food or do not eat. I really do believe it can be better.... Read 312 reviews

Senior: Coming from a public school, Harmony is probably one of the best high school experiences I've ever gotten in terms of education and environment. Since It's a small school, everyone lives like a family which is a plus point! Harmony provides a numerous amount of college prep opportunities which helps you gain college experience while still being a high school student. You get to take dual credit classes at HCC and Lone Star and feel like a college student! Furthermore, the diversity within this school is crazy! All cultures, races and religions come to one when it comes to maintaining equality and respect.... Read 8 reviews

Senior: Going to school in the El Paso Independent School District has been very enjoyable. This district manages a variety of schools, one of which I attend. I attend Transmountain Early College High School, and I am amazed by the level of education it offers. The early college system in this district is spectacular, to say the least. In this district, there are many events. Such as fundraisers, societies, and more. This district has been very invested in the emotional health of its students, which we all appreciate. The sports system in this district is much appreciated. The exciting competition keeps everyone on their toes. The possibilities to get better, are endless. Even the parents of students who attend these schools, are interested in the sports. The friendly competition brings everyone together. Also, the schools buildings are unmatched. Many of the schools are renovated and kept up to date. The buildings offer a clean and safe learning environment for its students. Much appreciated... Read 334 reviews

Works Here: Anthony ISD is one of the top districts in Region 19! We are a Title One school but our students perform at a high level academically. Safety, especially during this pandemic, is a priority. We have invested a great deal of money to keep our students safe (electro-magnetic doors, School-Check In system, new security guards and District Safety Manager, cameras, and lots of PPE due to COVID-19). Our salaries are among the highest in all the region and it reflects in our teacher quality. Finally, we have awesome administrators who truly care about providing the best education possible to our community's children.... Read 2 reviews

Senior: Gadsden Independent schools have a lot of offer starting with the great administration, the care of students and the motivation the school brings to the community. Throughout my experience at GISD I truly enjoyed how my teachers truly cared for me and allowed me learn from my mistakes. All administrators and staff were always very friendly, helpful, and polite. They always greeted me as I walked in and offered if I needed in help with anything. Everyone in the community seemed to really enjoy going to school activities because of the welcoming feeling the school has. Teachers constantly offered help to those struggling students and also offer tutoring. The sports and clubs at GISD are a fantastic way to make new friends they truly make you feel that you are doing something great and help build bonds with many people. Overall Gadsden Independent School District is a great place to enroll at.... Read 53 reviews

Senior: I have been attending the Clint Independent School District for about 12 years and I am proud to say that I will be graduating from this district in 2021. For elementary, I attended Frank Macias from Pre-K to 3rd grade and that was the best experience as a child since that is the stage were you are afraid to make a new change and that school made me create my confidence. My 5th and 6th grade were taken part in Carol T. Welch and there my enthusiasm of reaching an academic goal began. For middle school, I attended Horizon Middle School and Ricardo Estrada Junior high, in those stages I learnt how to appreciate my self thanks to my counselors, they lead me to the path that I am in today. Lastly, High School was the hardest decision in my whole life! I could not decide if to attend Horizon High School or Clint Early College. But, guess what? I Chose the early college and I am so grateful that I had the chance to finish high school and college at the same time.... Read 120 reviews

Sophomore: The Fabens Independent School District is phenomenal. I really fell in love with this small school's spirit and student-teacher support. The teachers are very supportive and will do everything in their power to help you succed. The students are also very welcoming and will cheer you on! Although I enjoy this school very much, there are some things it can improve on. Fabens is a small town and this school has a very limited financial budget leaving the students with few extracurricular activities. It would be nice to have other opportunities as well for students who are not into sports and are more work-focused. Despite of these small delimas, this school is great and is highly recommended....
