Everyone in the school is friendly, and they truly care about the school. While there isn't much diversity, the school makes up for it with its academics. Every student is able to have a part in every academic event or class, including those that are extracurricular. The sports are well supported throughout the school, and coaches are dedicated to create great teams. The STEM department is also phenomenal, as there are many things in the field that students can have part in, such as TAME, U.I.L, Robotics, and etc.

• 11 reviews

Alum: Shallowater schools allowed me a safe and loving environment to find myself and my strengths. I played many sports through high school and middle school and I graduate with all A's. This wouldn't have been possible if the teachers and administration didn't push me like they did. They believe in the students who go through the school and they love what the do! I currently have younger siblings who are attending and they love it just as much as I do!

Idalou Independent School District

• School District
• Idalou, TX
• 2 reviews

Senior: I have gone to Idalou schools for all my years of schooling and it has been a great school to me. The classrooms are nice, we have a very large library, and the school spirit is great. I love this school, but one thing they (the admin) take too seriously is the dress code. Someone can be barely out of code and will be sent to the office to be forced to change and receive a detention. Of the few things I would like to see change is how the different sports programs are treated. The football program receives the most funding, when it does not really need it, the basketball program allows the players to receive new uniforms every year, while the softball and baseball programs do not even have their own locker rooms or lights on the field.

Ropes Independent School District

• School District
• Ropesville, TX
• 3 reviews

Senior: I transferred to Ropes my junior year. It was the best event in my life and completely changed it. I have built friendships and relationships that are unmatched to my old school. Through their FFA program and agriculture department I have found a passion for veterinary medicine. I am challenged not only in the shop, but also in the classroom. My teachers always take time to help explain things they teach if I don’t understand them. One of the other places I’m challenged is in athletics. In football we made it to the second round in the playoffs, in powerlifting my coach is pushing to a place where I can compete at the state level, and track has started for me as well where I will throw the shot out and discuss. The atmosphere at Ropes is outstanding and teaches kids how to have fun as well as being professional at the same time teaching them core values that they will need in life as well as college.

Thanks to Cotton Center I was able to go to State for UIL Social Studies last year, which would not have been possible without the help of the hardworking staff.

Lubbock Independent School District

• School District
• Lubbock, TX
• 78 reviews

Senior: I've been apart of Lubbock Independent School District since I was kindergarten. I've always felt welcome and wanted here. I feel I've been taught the value of education through amazing teachers from Lubbock ISD. For the majority of my life I wanted to become a teacher because I was intrigued and inspired by my own teachers. I love the atmosphere and opportunities that Lubbock ISD has provided me. Because of the family atmosphere the schools and their feeder schools have created, the district created a program called Ready, Set, Teach! where a junior or senior in high school (with the right qualifications) gets to go to an elementary school of their choice to student teach in a classroom. It's an eyeopening experience to a student to see what a teacher truly goes through everyday. It has been an amazing opportunity for me and I know of many other opportunities similar to my own. Lubbock Independent School District has helped shape me into the woman I am today. Thank you.

Hale Center Independent School District

• School District
• Hale Center, TX
• 6 reviews

Senior: I moved into Hale Center when I was a Sophomore. Coming into this school, I did notice that it had it's downsides. Before you get into what modern movies will call a "click," it's pretty hard to get along with the kids that are around you. But after you get past that initial part of getting "accepted," you learn that this school is more than just friends. You get into the activities and the sports, and you fall in love with it.

Alum: I attended schools in the Levelland school district from Pre-kindergarten through grade 12. The teachers are caring and supportive, always going the extra mile to let their students know that we were more to them than a statistic for a state test. The district is willing to listen to what parents have to say about changes that need to be made in order to better the education and over all experience of the students in the LISD.
