I would describe this school as one of the worst I have ever seen. I was never looking to have this bad opinion but every time I have to or need to go down there the experience has never been different, they are always rude. There is just absolute disgust towards parents, and a very aggressive condescending demeanor and attitude towards parents here. Like I have never seen before. It's like I am walking into a place ran by a group of middle school mean girls. So immature. This school is just really sour, disorganized, mean girl cliques, down right lazy, unhelpful, won't contact parents on important issues, won't meet with parent's on important issues, sends sick children back to class, and just a sense of entitlement over your child in a very negative authoritative manner. They really work hard to X parents out of the equation. The office personnel are very unhelpful, short and bad mannered. Most of the aggressive behavior really comes from most of the white teachers here, and as far as the African American and Latino teachers are, they don't seem to subscribe to this white mean teacher clique, and white teacher bullying of parents and students. It's a poorly rated school because they treat the kids here terribly, and the kids don't like going to a school when most of the teachers are mean and aggressive to the kids. Another reason this school has a bad rating is because teachers and parents should be working together. They talk the talk but they don't walk the walk. It has become apparent that this may also be an intentionally segregated school by LCISD. They make minorities bus ride past newly built schools to a school overflowing in student volume. Past schools that are low in student volume, and it is directed specifically for neighborhoods that are minorities.
