Health Careers High School

• Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), TX
• 9-12
• 526 reviews

Freshman: I've loved Health Careers since the first day. I'm a very shy and timid person, but everyone at Health Careers was so warm and welcoming. The teachers are challenging but they are also welcoming. They are here to help you succeed. They are also really understanding and supportive. We don't have many sports, but we have lots of fun clubs and activities! The dances and pep rallies are so much fun here! Everyone one is laughing and having a good time! As a freshman, I've learned and gained so much from this school than I ever have anywhere else. I truly love Health Careers and it has changed me from a self-hating introvert into a strong and confident extrovert!

Reagan High School

• North East Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• 579 reviews

Niche User: I'm going to start off by saying that they should change things dealing with their athletic program and teachers because when I was there it was very hard to get across and interact with the teachers. But the things I liked about the school is that they are going to push you hard to graduate they are not going to let you be a failure unless you want to be, I also liked that some teachers actually care for you instead of just teaching you. I liked a lot of things about Reagan high school but they did have their ups and downs like how they reacted to kids getting in trouble I think they overreacted as in suspending kids and stuff but other then that it was a good school!

International School of the Americas

• North East Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• 268 reviews

Alum: My experience in high school going to the international school of the Americas was one of the best experiences I was able to coincidentally have. The school made me feel like I was a part of a big family and I couldn’t speak and talk to anybody if I was having a problem. Everybody was friends and close to each other we all went on trips together and bonded over the little things. We’ve got to travel to different types of places such as Arkansas, New Mexico, Alabama, and Washington DC. All these four different trips were eye-opening experiences in discovering poverty, indigenous people, slavery, and politics. I’ve learned so many new different things and experiencing hands on on how the world works and I would never change it for the world.

Johnson High School

• North East Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• 664 reviews

Senior: Located in San Antonio Texas, Johnson high school has proved to be a great school over the past four years that I have been there. With such encouragement and helpful teachers, I have been able to learn and focus on my future career path. The diversity at Johnson exposes students to work with other students of different culture or social groups. Johnson also offers many classes particularly custom to each individual student. Clubs such as HOSA (Health Occupation Students of America) have given me more involvement and experience. Johnsons sports is also a great program for students to join as it includes a variety of sports including soccer, football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, tennis, golf, cheer, and track. Johnson does a great job keeping its students safe and away from harms way. In the end Johnson is a great school and I would 100% recommend it!

Alamo Heights High School

• Alamo Heights Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• 309 reviews

Senior: I first came to Alamo Heights during my 8th grade. I was initially scared because I had never gone to a public school, but upon arriving, I found the people to be very friendly and the academics very rigorous. This all was enhanced when I went to Alamo Heights High School. For those who are considering or not considering Alamo Heights, I say that you should take a closer look because it's definitely the best high school in San Antonio (granted, I'm biased)! The school is small enough so that you can have real relationships with teachers who are passionate about what they teach. The academics are only hard if you sign up for the right courses, but it's definitely worth it in the end. And overall, the culture on campus is relaxed and positive. The parents at Alamo Heights are also a very involved group of parents, always getting what students need even when administration does not quite recognize any problems.

Judson Early College Academy

• Judson Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• 480 reviews

Sophomore: Currently, I am in my Sophmore year at JECA. Prior to attending JECA, I attended an orientation in which teachers, current student, and prior students provided information on expectations, their experiences and what it took to be successful while attending this high school/early college. Needless to say, they only touched on the surface each student's experience is different, but I was able to incorporate their suggestions and recommendation into my own model and path to success. Attending this school is/has prepared me for what to expect while attending college courses, as well as the important pieces of information needed to further my education. Information such as the cost of attendance, deciding early on a degree path, gauging my strengths and weakness and what to expect upon entering the workforce after graduation.I'm looking forward to not only receiving my high school diploma but also my Associate's degree as well.

Robert G. Cole Middle/High School

• Fort Sam Houston Independent School District, TX
• 6-12
• 135 reviews

Junior: Robert G Cole is located on a military base and is 3A which means there is not a huge influx of students every year. The school is small and is very family friendly. I play sports and the athletic program here is held to the highest standard it is not just a program I am in it is a lifestyle I up hold. This school is a high school and middle school combined and to some that may sound annoying but it is actually great my little sister is in 6th grade and I get to see her frequently in passing periods. We take pride in the beauty of our campus and our things, we don't walk through the grass because it makes our school look trashy and warn down and it is also rude to our hard working custodians. We all do our part here at Cole to keep it a beautiful place inside and out.The cougar life is the best life, all students here are all in the cougar way!
