Welcome to what might be the most negligent middle school in Texas, where the standards of education and discipline have evidently collapsed. Instruction is minimal, with no homework assignments to speak of—making Kindergarten appear more challenging and structured by comparison. Students freely use foul language in full view and hearing of teachers, who show no inclination to intervene, further highlighting the absence of academic rigor or behavioral standards.Personal belongings are routinely stolen, underscoring the lack of security and a blatant disrespect for personal property. The chaos of the parent pickup serves as a fitting metaphor for the school's overall management: utterly disorganized, blocking thoroughfares, and encroaching on private properties, with no one in charge seeming to care.The School Resource Officer’s apparent avoidance of active engagement with the school community is nothing short of a dereliction of duty. As for the front office staff, their profound incompetence is so alarming that one wonders if any job requiring the slightest cognitive effort might be too challenging for them.Should you attempt to drop off something as simple as a lunch for your child, be prepared for it to disappear into an administrative black hole, thanks to an administration that couldn’t care less about communication or student welfare.This school is a glaring failure in its fundamental duty to provide a safe, respectful, and intellectually stimulating environment. Those responsible should feel deep shame for the profound disservice they are doing to our children. They are not just failing in education; they are failing our future.

The teachers are great! The administration has a no tolerance policy and keep kids in line. The sports are good and they let all participate who are eligible. Because it's a small school there are not a lot of extra choices in classes or after school activities but is great for a small town. I'm sure as it grows this will change. I am very happy we moved here. People are friendly!
