Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District

• School District
• Grapevine, TX
• 50 reviews

Senior: The career-based teachers and English teachers are excellent! All AP teachers are excellent but they assign to heavy of a workldad, there is no workload for on-level classes however the teachers are clearly their to get their paycheck, 90% don't actually care about their students. The school wastes money on unnecessary things and yet the cafeteria is over-priced. A dollar won't get you anything for lunch, the parking lots are a mess wth too many unavailable spots. The counselors are excellent however the vice principals are on a power trip and lower morale. Also major issues with racism at these schools and faculty only pretends to care.

Junior: The HEB District is one of the top districts within the state, and I can say that I completely agree with this fact!

I truly am thankful for being within this district and I wouldn’t ask anybody to change a thing!

Mansfield Independent School District

• School District
• Mansfield, TX
• 362 reviews

Parent: Mansfield High School was my daughter's first public school experience. Her transition from private school was rocky; however, she got involved in activities and is very happy! We switched because MISD had greater opportunities for her academically with AP, dual credit, & vocational courses, and also much better athletics than she would have had at private school. The teachers really care about the students and their success in class. My daughter will be attending college on an academic scholarship and will most likely be admitted to a top 30 university. We have been very satisfied.

Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District

• School District
• Fort Worth, TX
• 64 reviews

Senior: I loved my experience in Eagle Mountain-Saginaw. I had great teachers K-12. The Fine Arts had a tremendous impact on me with outstanding, dedicated educators starting at Wayside Middle School with Mr. Parrish and then Mr. Spoon and Mr. Orbison at Boswell. Being involved in the Marching Band and the Drumline created an exciting, fun time filled with travel and life-long friendships. I was fortunate to have caring, devoted teachers who challenged me academically. I know that I am ready for college!

Arlington Independent School District

• School District
• Arlington, TX
• 262 reviews

Junior: First off, the superintendent is spectacular! He's very involved and strives to make sure every student succeeds. AISD is a very diverse district, and many students are economically challenged. Speaking from experience, the district supports and tries to meet every student's academic needs and availability to hot and balanced meals through free or reduced-lunch programs, but more vegetarian options would be appreciated. AISD has also provided me with the opportunity to attend classes at our local community college through a partnership that helps students graduate with their Associate's degree in addition to their high school diploma. They’ve even supplied me with essential school materials and vaccines. The district hasn't exactly been ranked top in the nation; however, AISD continues to impact students' lives even outside of school by consistently working hard to accomplish their yearly goals and motivating students to chase their dreams regardless of their financial status.

Azle Independent School District

• School District
• Azle, TX
• 19 reviews

Senior: I love the atomosphere of a small town school. I feel connected to my classmates and my teachers. We cheer on our football team on Friday nights and get pumped for other sports related activities. The classes are challenging, while the teachers are kind and helpful. The class sizes are small enough to where everyone gets a fair share of attention and instruction. Overall, our academics and athletics really keep the community engaged. Just last year, our cheerleading team won the inaugural UIL Spirit competition for 5A-6A Large Co-Ed! Pride swarmed the school and the community. This is only one example of how our school and community are united and supportive of each other.

Everman Independent School District

• School District
• Everman, TX
• 48 reviews

Junior: As a student attending Everman High School, our education has always came first, no matter what, school has been available for anyone who lives around the area ,since they do provide wonderful transportation from taking you to school or even transporting you back home of course once school day is over with. I appreciate the school board because without them none of us will be able to prepare ourselfs with a great future. Although their is some flaws the only thing students should be worried about is graduating to become someone great.

White Settlement Independent School District

• School District
• White Settlement, TX
• 15 reviews

Senior: I've been at the high school for 4 years and I really do like it. I wish that the school would be more organized with the distribution of required things such as schedules, parking permits, technology, etc. Also, it would be nice if other sports in the school were recognized such as tennis and golf. They get looked over because of football, soccer, baseball, softball, and volleyball. They also don't receive the necessary materials like weight room access or enough money to fund the program properly.

Fort Worth Independent School District

• School District
• Fort Worth, TX
• 323 reviews

Senior: Being a student in FWISD my entire childhood, I have to say that all my learning environments were regularly positive. Teachers, staff, administrators, and counselors were always caring and engaged in ALL students.
Schools I attended such as, South Hi Mount Elementary and Trimble Tech daily pushed the importance of preparing for college and after high school careers. I can proudly say Principal Ramos at Trimble Tech is one of the most involved administrators I have ever encountered. From going to all sports practices after school, to walking around checking in on teachers and students, daily announcements, and always making sure students are doing well. I have enjoyed my time in FWISD!

Enjoyed it very much, would recommend for anyone moving into that area.

Lake Worth Independent School District

• School District
• Lake Worth, TX
• 26 reviews

Alum: The academics are bare minimum, and the counseling center did not do much to get me ready for college life. Most of the school focuses on academics, but while I was there, the only things that students excelled on was fine arts. The fine arts teachers make sure to help all of their students, as well as teach them to the best of their ability. The front office was great, but our administration was not great, especially the principal, who I believe is now gone. Overall, there was a lack of enthusiasm throughout the student body.

Middle School Student: I liked ACA while I was there but, now that I look back on it ACA provided me with a lot of things I would not have gotten elsewhere. The academics are great and the teachers were as well they really cared about you not just as a student with your academics but, about your overall well-being.
