South Texas ISD Preparatory Academy Reviews
Rating 4.93 out of 5 75 reviews
STPA is such a healthy and understanding environment to be in. All the teachers fully understand the student point of view and help all feel challenged at their own pace. The faculty and administration tries their hardest to help any student who is having difficulty or stress. One thing very noticeable is that the students above all have anyone’s back and are very friendly in various situations. Though STPA is known for its rigorous academics, their various sports and clubs thrive. Organizations like UIL, NJHS, Student Council and more are found at STPA. The sports would include volleyball, basketball, soccer, golf, kickball, football, track, and fitness clubs, like weight training. Not only does STPA offer these many sports, but the students excel! The girls volleyball team is an undefeated Texas Champion, and the track team has also placed in state competitions! I definitely recommend STPA to any incoming 7th or 8th graders who would love a welcoming, yet challenging environment.
STPA is an amazing school with a rigorous and challenging academic curriculum. The teachers are willing to lend a helping hand, the students are very welcoming, and everyone treats you with the respect you deserve. As a current student here I would suggest this school to anyone who wants to achieve great things and wants to improve academically. This is a very safe environment with an array of clubs and organizations and very useful resources for students, teachers, and parents to use. The school also offers several advanced courses that will prepare you for high school. I recommend this school for anyone who wants to work hard and make a bright future for themselves!
I like the school size, classroom size and academics. I hate that the school takes forever to answer phones. The students never had time to eat bc the lines where always packed. It lacks sports, and better math teachers. Some of the teacher would not grade assignments on time and update the system. When you graduate I don’t like that the high schools are to far from edinburg, and world scholars which is closer needs better administration and more resources. I think most of the students leave stisd bc of lack of sports and extra curricular activities. Also whenever there is an event the school doesn’t help or chip in. It all has to be organized through PTO. Like this and many other schools they need to be more aware of social media because students create accounts under the schools name with the gossip and pictures about the students.
