Port Aransas Independent School District

• School District
• Port Aransas, TX
• 1 review

Senior: I absolutely love my school, although I do believe the lunch menu could use some work. Other than the lunch menu, the staff, the parents, and the faculty are very much involved in our school. They see to it that we are all taken care of and given the best very best chances of success. We got hit with a hurricane a little more than a year ago and every single staff member was there for every single student and made sure that we were taken care of and were safe.

Flour Bluff Independent School District

• School District
• Corpus Christi, TX
• 37 reviews

Senior: Most of the teachers and staff are very kind and understanding, while some don't care about the students' actions in their classrooms. There is a huge variety of students attending Flour Bluff high school each year which contributes in keeping the school spirit strong. This school offers many great opportunities such as the UP program, NHS, different clubs, events, and much more. Some students at Flour Bluff tend to act in a non-mature way causing others to be misguided in terms of what they should be doing and vice versa. Overall, my high school Flour Bluff ISD is a wonderful place to learn and grow as a person from all the unexpected challenges that await behind each turn.

London Independent School District

• School District
• Corpus Christi, TX
• 6 reviews

Sophomore: London is a very great school!! The majority of the courses here challenge you to be the best that you can possibly be! The one downfall that I think London has is that it doesn't offer a lot of courses that bigger schools offer. That is because London is a fairly small school, with only about 1,250 or so students in grades Pre-K-12th

Banquete Independent School District

• School District
• Banquete, TX
• 8 reviews

Alum: I'm very grateful for Banquete ISD and all they have done for me and my family. As a graduate, I can honestly say there's no place I'd have rather come from. The administration is there to help you succeed in everything possible. With the help of everyone in the community, I was able to graduate with an Associates of Science before even graduating high school, competed at several national and state competitions, have dozens of certifications, and have just been guided in so many ways to my current path, something that would not have likely happened anywhere else. There is so much to do in the Banquete ISD education system and so much support from all of the faculty. I am proud to call myself a bulldog for life.

Tuloso-Midway Independent School District

• School District
• Corpus Christi, TX
• 20 reviews

Alum: I've attended Tuloso- Midway School District since I was in 5th grade. Although the transition into public school is hard for the majority of kids, when I entered the 5th grade I was welcomed wholeheartedly. The teachers and staff are great at accommodating all types of students, and the students aren't cliquey and are open to new friends. I attended and graduated TM and I couldn't imagine going to any other school for my academic career. Tuloso Midway is by far the best school in Corpus Christi.

Santa Gertrudis Independent School District

• School District
• Kingsville, TX
• 6 reviews

Alum: I liked the teachers and administrators and the dual-credit opportunities that I had at TAMUK, I believe those really helped prepare me for my classes at the University of Texas. I think they need more facilities such as a gym and a cafeteria.

Calallen Independent School District

• School District
• Corpus Christi, TX
• 20 reviews

Senior: Teachers are always willing to help. I came to this school district four years ago and did not even know what a thesis was. Teachers were willing to put extra in extra time so that I could succeed. The athletics program is phenomenal. Every sport is filled with talented athletes. Our football team is the best in the district. Every year we go through multiple rounds of the playoffs. I participate in two varsity sports. The coaches push you at a healthy level. The cheer program is a very skilled level team. Although, the school is phenomenal, the community surrounding it is very humble. Citizens of the school district are very spirited and nice. The people attending the school come from various backgrounds. The school is multi cultured. This year is my senior year of high school. The counsleors have taught me so much about college. From pricing, acceptance, requirements, they have covered it. Overall it's a great School.

Gregory-Portland Independent School District

• School District
• Portland, TX
• 27 reviews

Alum: Compared to other schools I've been in, this is a good school. However, there's little to no guidance if someone's not familiar with the system. I only had one teacher kindly enough to explain. (Teachers, overall, are great, just not in this aspect.) Not even orientation was helpful: it was assumed everybody came directly from an in-town Junior High. A foreigner, like myself, would feel lost and ignored.

Clubs vary regarding quality. Art club - as much as I liked the advisor - was horribly organized, events weren't year round and lost 90% of their members. The Spanish club is very "hidden", and announcements depend on phones, inconvenient at times. On the other hand, the German club was organized much better and had events year round.

In other areas, this school stands well, (well...maybe too much focus on football) They excel in college readiness. They have a counselor just for that. They also have dual credit classes; classes credited in high school and college!

Corpus Christi Independent School District

• School District
• Corpus Christi, TX
• 101 reviews

Alum: CCISD gave me the best years as a student. I attended many schools of fine arts which really helped develop my mind as a child. I remember everyone being involved and connected, there were always after school events of fundraisers and might I say I was very competitive when it came to those year round candle sells. The diversity was there but I would have appreciated to see a lot more, Corpus is just small and lacks diversity within itself so what can you do? Furthermore, the academics were outstanding and the teachers really do implement themselves into your lives. They allow you to learn at your own pace and never made you feel bad about it. Overall an amazing school district and I can't wait to have my children attend one day!

Orange Grove Independent School District

• School District
• Orange Grove, TX
• 11 reviews

Parent: My experience was having to deal with teachers Kids given priority over the other kids. Everyone in the community sees and talks about it, but it’s only until you experience it that you find that it is a fact!
My kids score high in ACT and other functions out of school. Even the STARR test is high because the teachers don’t have control over grading. In class they also score high, but teachers give kid get bonus points/extra credit to make up, ultimately scoring higher. Gpa ends up being higher due to this reason!
Funny thing about it, year after year the top GPA’s end up coming home with out a degree! Why: because high school prepared them to give a score that was false! You need to work and earn what you deserve! This must be changed and stop using the reason that “because they are locals or teachers Kids”

Sinton Independent School District

• School District
• Sinton, TX
• 4 reviews

Senior: What I like most about this school is, It's small and there's not a lot of students and it gives you one on one learning time with the teachers. The only thing I don't like about Sinton High School is how limited we are in extra activities, sports and are knowledge about programs that are happening. I would recommend more communication between the school and students. I would greatly appreciate this scholarship because, even though are school being small helps students in some areas, it doesn't give us a lot of scholarship opportunities. Thank you!

Bishop Consolidated Independent School District

• School District
• Bishop, TX
• 6 reviews

Senior: Overall Bishop CISD is a well respected district. Although like with any district, or High school for that matter, they have their flaws. However, compared to other districts in the surrounding area we're one of the best. Students for the most part or well rounded individuals that have a level of respect for each other, much more than any other High school. My personal experience these past four years has been a rather enjoyable one, and although no one is perfect I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else. Small class sizes for the most part, everyone knows just about everyone (no bad blood), and teachers are able to teach and receive results. I'm thankful for be able to attend a district that strives to put the needs of its students first. My final assessment of BHS: Good School (better than the rest).

Aransas County Independent School District

• School District
• Rockport, TX
• 5 reviews

Senior: I’m entering my senior year at Rockport-Fulton High school, and I’ve been in the district all my life. My high school experience hasn’t been horrible, nor has it been amazing. Most of the staff is friendly, but there’s a few teachers that don’t put in enough effort for the students. Teachers not having enough time for one on one help with me has affected my grades, as well as Hurricane Harvey destroying my school in 2017. I do think my school deserves the overall rating I gave it despite other aspects being subpar, because after this natural disaster, the feeling of being united was overwhelming in the district. It’s brought all of the staff closer to the students, and we all have a mutual understanding when someone is having a bad day because so many of us are still affected by it.

Alum: The teachers were the best I have ever had. I even liked them more then my college professors. I never believed in myself until I went to RMA. I graduated in 2017 and I will forever be grateful for the staff and faculty (especially teachers) from this school.

San Diego Independent School District

• School District
• San Diego, TX
• 9 reviews

Senior: Being a student here at San Diego High school has allowed me to be successful with furthering my education. Not only are you allowed to be a high school student, but you're also able to be a college student and get a head start on furthering your education. This will allow me to graduate with an associate this May.
Also, your safety isn't a concern as a student. There is never fights and everybody gets along. If there ever is a safety issue, our administration has developed drills for any weather or safety concern a parent may have.

West Oso Independent School District

• School District
• Corpus Christi, TX
• 15 reviews

Junior: I like that at West Oso High School there is a lot of help that is guaranteed for you. All the teachers, administrators, and counselors are always there for you and they help you maintain your grades while still being self efficient. I believe the school could be better in having more spirit but that is the only downside. The programs they have here to offer is really great and they help you get prepared for college and even gain college hours as well as a degree.

Aransas Pass Independent School District

• School District
• Aransas Pass, TX
• 7 reviews

Senior: I'd like to see more textbooks checked out to students, and more one on one teacher involvement. Not to mention, the actual school building is in terrible condition. The ceilings are caving in, and anytime it rains, the classrooms flood. Our gym floor actually came up and was touching the ceiling form being so swollen with water damage. I do love how college oriented this school is. They're on top of helping everybody doing their applications and applying for different schools. The staff is very friendly and I love the counselors.

Kingsville Independent School District

• School District
• Kingsville, TX
• 15 reviews

Alum: H. M. King Early College highschool is a great school for all types of diversitys. They are a 4a school which makes the whole school very close since they aren't too small and they aren't too big. The teachers at Hmk go above and beyond for there students to teaching them all the way till 6 pm just to keep the students Gpa at 4.0 to supporting them at all there sporting events. Hmking has had over 6 students graduate with an associates degree from CBC this year. They have academic clubs all the way to anime clubs to show the whole school doesn't matter who you are you'll fit in somehow. The principals are the most caring people always trying to make the students ready for the outside life. The school is in tip top shape, having two beautiful domes for athletics that has brought home multiple district champs, a brand new band hall and choir hall that has brought 10 plus students to state. If I were to send my kid to a friendly school it would be to HMK.

Robstown Independent School District

• 14 reviews

Junior: People say that Robstown is a bad high school because of the town it rests in. They say it's crawling with drug addicts and drug dealers. But that's every town, isn't it? It's a small high school, but the people residing here are the most helpful people I've ever met. We have teachers here who strive for their students' success and inspire us to achieve our goals. Although, I think our counselors could be a bit more organized with schedules.

Senior: I like going to school here because it is small. Being such a small school you know everyone you go to school with and class sizes are small. I'm friends with almost everyone in school and those friends are like family, even though I'm related to a lot of people in the school.
