Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District

• School District
• LUBBOCK, TX
• Rating 4.23 out of 5  66 reviews

Senior: I have enjoyed Lubbock Cooper a lot through out the years. I believe that the staff is awesome! And the teachers are so so amazing! I can tell that from pre-k to senior teachers all want to help you, and want to see you do the best that you can. I moved to Cooper in fourth grade, and since the day I first walked into the doors, I felt so welcomed and loved. My favorite thing about cooper is the fact that because all of the elementary schools lead into one high school within the district, it feels like a little community that supports each other always...Read 66 Reviews

Abernathy Independent School District

• School District
• ABERNATHY, TX
• Rating 5 out of 5  9 reviews

Senior: Honestly, I love this school so much. I've been here since 5th grade and I'm here now as a senior. All the teachers are nothing but loving, supportive, hardworking, and pushes us to be our very best! Yes all schools have their little problems, clicks and many more, but you hardly find that here. Abernathy ISD faculty is wonderful and are very helpful. If there is any problems our faculty will do their very best to correct what is wrong. But anyways, very loving school and wouldn't turn down here. Academics are wonderful, we do well in sports (football as well), we have UIL here, which most of the students are apart of and if you're a band nerd like me, we have a great band class with our wonderful teachers. So don't waste a minute if you're hesitant about going here, I can tell you from experience, it is a wonderful school...Read 9 Reviews

New Home Independent School District

• School District
• NEW HOME, TX
• Rating 4.13 out of 5  8 reviews

Senior: The school is a wonderful place for anyone who wants an up-close and personal experience. Teachers dedicate endless hours of their time to make sure students are learning the material. 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...Read 8 Reviews

Shallowater Independent School District

• School District
• SHALLOWATER, TX
• Rating 4.2 out of 5  15 reviews

Senior: I enjoy Shallowater High School overall, however I would like to see a few things change. When it comes to discipline, they often make exceptions for certain students. I have seen many teenagers break the rules, however only a few teenagers are punished. Shallowater's discipline is often biased based on who you know or who your parents are...Read 15 Reviews

Idalou Independent School District

• School District
• IDALOU, TX
• Rating 3.67 out of 5  3 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...Read 3 Reviews

Ropes Independent School District

• School District
• ROPESVILLE, TX
• Rating 5 out of 5  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...Read 3 Reviews

Senior: What I like most about the Slaton Independent School District, would have to be my teachers. This year has already been a rough one for everybody, although my teachers made it feel like normal and safe. They helped me with struggling homework when they saw my grades were slipping. They talked to me when I had nobody to talk to. They listened to me figuring out my work problems so they could give me feedback. I love the support my teachers have given me throughout the years, and will always be grateful ...Read 3 Reviews

Senior: Plain view is a very cut and dry stereotypical school. This on its own isn't a negative deal, but the staffing is quite poor and lack a pure judgment. I have always seen Plain view as a school who cares for more in their scores rather than their students well-being...Read 46 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...Read 6 Reviews
