St. Joseph Academy

• Private School
• Brownsville, TX
• 7-12
• 116

Senior: St. Joseph Academy is one of the finest institutions for college preparation in the Rio Grande Valley. The primary reason for this is precisely in the fact that they don't rely on pure academics. Some schools focus on medicine, some on athletics, but SJA focuses on the student. St. Joseph Academy works on the development of character within its students. Students have religious formation and there are innumerable opportunities for service. The students are generally hardworking and are heavily involved in plenty of extracurricular. It has a very healthy atmosphere mentally, spiritually, and otherwise. It was an honorable experience.

Brownsville Early College High School

• Brownsville Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• 221

Senior: The best thing about BECHS is its rigorous academics. BECHS is a high school whose main purpose is to prepare students for college life. Juniors and Seniors have an all-dual enrollment schedule, so the difficulty level of classes at this school is definitely above average. The bad thing about this school, though, is that it doesn’t have sports teams, and the clubs and other student organizations are somewhat limited. To make up for this, however, students are allowed to join sports, band, and/or other clubs at their zoned high schools.

IDEA Brownsville College Preparatory

• Public School
• Brownsville, TX
• 6-9
• 10

Senior: Coming to Idea Brownsville was something great for me as and individual, growing with the school they have always motivated the students to try our best and always take time out of our day to make sure we are on task and ahead with what we are learning.
Ever since I came to the school in 6th grade, I felt accepted with the teachers and fellow peers. I always had someone to go to when I needed help inside or outside the classroom and was always treated with a smile.
My high school years were the best since I was able to practice presentations and commentaries so that in college I wouldn't fall under the pressure . This school has taught me a lot and I appreciate all they have done for me over the years making me the scholar I am today.

IDEA Frontier College Preparatory

• Public School
• Brownsville, TX
• 6-12
• 171

Senior: IDEA Frontier College Preparatory is good school, although sometimes I felt otherwise due to the rigorous curriculum . The classes I took not only helped me meet educational needs, I also obtained time knowledge skills that will better prepare my future demands. These demands include time management and responsibilities to help me better prepare for future challenges. It may sound like a cliche, but I wouldn't change anything about my IDEA experience . That being said , perhaps a little bit more variety might be something that would add a different dimension to learning, similar to public school curriculums . The students would have exposure to a diverse learning experiences and that may or may not be something worth while.

Freshman: It's a great​ school with great teachers, but it could have better food for lunch. The administration could also be a little less strict with the dress code mainly with the boys hair

Veterans Memorial Early College High School

• Brownsville Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• 542

Senior: The experience(s) I encountered attending Veterans Memorial High School, and continue on doing so for the next 4 months until I graduate, was difficult and pleasant at times! Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed every moment of living though the high school experience here, wouldn't have done it anywhere else. The administration, staff, and student body, is the reason why it's the best campus in the district, and the most awarded school. Along with the "High standard title" the school made for its self, it does live up the expectations, but sadly some teachers that attend their themselves that are lazy, don't help with the recognizing title.
