This is good school and i really liked the location. Feels safe and away from noise.

Please carefully consider your options before sending your child here. There is a high amount of favoritism based on personal relationships and money. There is a lack of consideration for student’s mental health and a lack of accountability at the staff level when things go wrong. They have little desire to guide the students instead of punishing them. If you care about your child’s future and wellbeing, go anywhere else.

My experience with all THREE of my daughters was horrible. There is not one good thing I can say about this school. They were bullied, the teachers, counselors and even the dean could care less. Its more political than what meets the eye. My children left this school damaged in more than one way. Its soo bad my last daughter went to live with her father so she could go to a new school. We looked at home schooling to paying to transfer as well.

The new superintendent has made some great, and needed changes, but the high school is in poor shape.

10/10. The staff is very inclusive of new teachers, and each teaching subject is constantly searching for new ways to teach learning hindered students. This is a completely different campus than it was 5 years ago.

Excellent school. All 3 of my children attended school here and all 3 graduated with honors and received scholarships. All schools have their bad and good apples, but I think it comes down to how engaged the student is, his/her willingness to learn and the parents involvement with their child's education at home. You cannot blame the entire school for a few bad teachers or if your child gets a bad grade. Over the years, we've only came across a few teachers who were not so great, but I believe they've all left or have been fired since the new superintendent has came along. I just hope this school stays the small community school we've known and not become one of these overcrowded schools like in other areas. My children were in small classes and got to know their teachers and fellow classmates so well that they are still friends with many of them even years after graduation.

Ive been blessed to go community since kindergarten and all I can say is that I love it. I've grown up with most of the kids that were in kindergarten with me. We may be a small town school compared to most but you can never find a more caring and loving school. Some parents think that we aren't getting a good education well its not that our teachers aren't teaching us its the state of Texas requirements that they want us to know. Its hard. When it comes down to it. I wouldnt want to go to another school. We can all come together as a school but in reality were just a big family. People talk down about our athletic department but they work so hard and people don't realize it. Its always the people that talk just about what they hear not what they see or don't even go to Community. We are a hard working group of people and sometimes we just cant meet peoples to high expectations.

I think for once school is headed in right direction. need more imphess on higher education, maybe getting better teachers or setting fire under them. Sports here is a joke no type of vision to play at next level.

CISD has been a real challenge. Very racist school in a rural area. Teachers are the worst I've seen at any ISD we've had the kid's at. Almost switched districts to Wylie last year. But felt like we were showing the kids how you run from problems. So, we kept the kids there and with a new principal this year things had gotten better. Now it looks like some of the teachers are leaving next year. GOOD. Now let's work on the Superintendent. Stick it out, change what you can, and live true.

OK, up until HS Community was 'passable' as a school system. HS is a whole different story. We have had no problems with the kids and the overall atmosphere of the school. Let me first say there are some teachers in the HS that truly do care and inspire. I know of one and I'll allow that there must be a few more. However, the majority of my personal experience with the faculty and staff has been horrible!! If you do happen to have an issue with a teacher don't expect support or even acknowledgement from the counselor, VP, or principal. They don't care. Period. The attitude of all but a handful of the adults at Community HS is not at all encouraging to the students. We even had one teacher when asked by a student how to bring his/her grade from an 88 to an A, reply 'this is an accelerated class, you're not expected to make an A so don't worry about it'. This is not the attitude of a teacher I want teaching my student. The school, in my opinion, actually discourages parent involvement. For the teachers that truly care and are trying, I commend you!! I wish I could call you by name here but I can't. The entire rest of the staff of the HS, forget it! They don't care.

If we're being honest, things could be better. There are a few teachers who legitimately care about the students' education, although they are rare. The students are very accepting, but as far as academics go, Community is very behind. With the right faculty, this school could be just as good as a 5A school.
