As we were moving to Comanche, my wife and I were a bit hesitant about the ratings of the schools in town. We had one child in Elementary, one in Jr. High and one in High School. This year we have two children in the Jr. High, but we are going to share our experience for the 2023-2024 school year. My daughter overall had a good experience when it came to the teachers, the school work-load and connecting with kids in the school. As with any school however, there are some kids that haven't been too kind, but hopefully some of them will grow out of it.Our experience has been the most of the teachers actually care. That's a big deal to us as we had mixed results in the big city. My daughter excelled in a way that we were just so proud of her. She's being encouraged to learn and grow.I did see the other review and I cannot speak to special educational support as it stands. Regarding sports or band only. I went to an awards event where there were TONS of awards for other special interest groups and even placing at several of these events forming around academics. It seems perhaps they have shifted gears since the last person's experience. We have had a very positive experience with the Jr. High thus far.

If your child has no learning problems and/or excels in sports, this school is fine. However, there is very very little support for children who slide by or need extra help. Also, don't expect for there to be alternatives if your child is not the athletic type or can't play an instrument. Sports and band are pretty much it.
