attended this school as a kid and even then it was not up to the standards as it should be. Your child will go down a wrong path going to this school. I have nephews who attended and dropped out because of the constant harassing and bullies. This is not a good school. When my daughter was rezoned to this school I immediately withdrew her from pfisd. And she is attending harmony charter school and thriving best decision I ever made. This school changes kids and not for the better. Dont believe me look all of it up the rating, look up stories. It's not a good place to have your child. Steer clear.

My child loves this school and would not choose any other school. The teachers are responsive and go above and beyond.

Students are bullied and when they defend themselves they get suspended. So I guess your suppose to let your kids be assaulted and just stand there and take it, teachers are lazy, principle is even lazier. Went to talk to her about an incident that happened and she was too busy eating breakfast tacos to even speak. Terrible school!!!!!!!

I went to Dessau middle school, I highly believe that you don't let your child attend this school because he or she will be bullied, I was there for two years and I was bullied to the point that I believed in there was no point of living. Then my parents changed my school and I went to Kelly Lane middle school, now that's a school I recommend, as soon as I walked through those doors everything changed nobody picked on me and I knew it was Gods blessing.

The staff and faculty at this school are apathetic and they simply do not care. They will do whatever takes the most minimal effort and they will throw everything off on the parents (or someone else). These are mostly low income needy kids who would thrive if someone just cared about them and took a little extra effort to help them along. These teachers give all teachers a bad name. There are very few who care at all. Hopefully, the new Principal can change that. Until then, your student will have a rough time here unless you are very very active and if you are like most parents in this area, you probably don't have the time to be so.

I am pulling my son out of this school and am putting him in private. My son tells me everyday about the things he experiences here and it amazes me. I feel sorry for the students that HAVE to stay that aren't a part of the problem. There are so many problem students attending this school and the "good" students are having to endure the results of the "bad" students problem "homelives". It is really sad. I went up to the school and spoke with the administration and even they told me they have never seen a class like this EVER in all the years they have been teaching. It is bad....really bad. My son has come home two times within the past two weeks crying. I'm OVER THIS SCHOOL!
