Works Here: I have worked in 4 districts in the last 23 years. This district is hands down the best I have seen. I had really given up finding a district that cares about kids first, but they do here. School Board Members, Parents, Teachers, Administration and Students all work together to make this school really stand out. There is a positive, can do attitude from everyone. I heartily recommend Kathryn Griffis Elementary and Caddo Mills ISD in general...Read 4 Reviews

Senior: I enjoy attending Poetry Community Christian School for several reasons. First of all, the academics are fairly challenging, which provides students the opportunity to succeed when moving on to college. Secondly, the people, staff and students, are all very welcoming to their community. The atmosphere in every class is quite friendly. Thirdly, it is a small private Christian school. The small number of students in every class allows for more one-on-one time with the teacher if one does not understand something, and the atmosphere of the entire campus is Christ-centered. I could list many more reasons about why Poetry Community Christian School is exceptional, but I would run out of characters!...Read 28 Reviews

Alum: I went to Scurry - Rosser middle school back in 2010-2014, and they were probably the best years of my life. My group of friends felt like we were on top of the world, especially on top of the school crowd. The athletic program was much better in the junior high than high school, simply because people had the young fire to win and wasn't used to life and the athletic system just yet. Highly recommend to bring your kids to this humble country school...Read 2 Reviews

Senior: Crandall High Schools environment is very welcoming as staff members greet students every morning. This environment is also safe due to the strict regulations that must be followed for our safety. The school is prosperous based on unified diversity. A mixture of diversity not only allows students to interact with different cultures but it has also drastically decreased bullying. Bullying is not a issue in Crandall since it is reinforced and taken very seriously. Although this high school is comfortable, I believe the lunches could be further improved. The school provides students with full basic nutrition including grain, fruit, milk, and protein. Overall, Crandall High School offers great clubs and programs. I participated in FFA and it has helped me acquire my Veterinary Assistant Certificate and Public Relations Area Qualifier Certificate. Through these programs I have become a professional speaker and I have evolved a focused mindset...Read 191 Reviews

Senior: All my life I have viewed going to school as a chore but as I take on my senior year I am starting to realize what a long and amazing ride it has been. Throughout the years, Kaufman has done a very good job when it comes to balancing a work and play environment. For example, our faculty and staff take time out of their day to set up events that include pep rallies, dodge ball tournaments, and etc. A few years ago, our high school was remodeled and became way larger in size. While this was amazing at the time , I have a small complaint that can be easily taken care of by the school board. Since the building was meant to look and feel like a college campus, hallways became longer. Because of this, it took way longer to get to class than it did the previous years. With only five minutes to get to class, many students struggle to be on time. Adding two to three minutes in between classes can make all the difference!...Read 95 Reviews

Senior: The teachers and administration cares too much about students getting ready for college or wherever they are going to go in life. The coaches and Athletic director also care to push us to the best of their abilities. What I would like to see change is the students attitude. The students need to care more about their grades and where they wanna be in life. Students need to listen to the teachers and coaches to know how to be a better athlete, student, or person in life and put effort into their lives...Read 59 Reviews

Freshman: It is a very good charter school. Even though it's a middle school it doesn't have lockers which was a little strange to me. It has a locker room but it is only for athletes. There are also uniforms at the school but the uniforms look pretty good, a little expensive though. They also have lots of good sports. The clubs are a little lackluster but that's mainly because of it being a new school. Overall it's a nice school with above average education...Read 1 Review

Parent: My children have been attending Riverdale for the past 7 years and we have been extremely pleased with the level of education our little ones receive. The teachers are knowledgeable and caring, the classes are small, and the administration is responsive. Your child isn’t just a number at Riverdale, they’re family. I would highly suggest this school for anyone looking to place their child at a school that will allow your child to flourish!...Read 140 Reviews
