Teachers are for the most part amazing the the coaches make u feel like you belong. If your and nerd or js hate school any middle school can be tough but for someone who makes good grades and athletic this school is EZ and sooo much fun. The only reason to not like this school is if you don't like yourself.... Or the cafeteria food that is pretty awful but just bring a lunch and sit in the courtyard.

Mr Bauer is the only one who actually cares what happens to the students once they graduate.

I had a stock sound system, nothing that was beyond the legal limit. I spent the night in jail and they ruined my start on life as a young adult, it was hard to get a job and I could no longer go to O'Connor events to see my younger siblings grow up and play sports for the school. These officers were tyrants and ruined many children's lives and futures, they should be ashamed. They even took me back to the school and handcuffed me to a chair in their office for 3 hours while my wrists bled & called in head coach Maleskey, who screamed and spit in my face. These individuals are a disgrace to the O'Connor name.

In a time where parents can be pretty demanding, I felt they were great and work hard. Much appreciated.

Be warned however, i would NOT recommend moving to basis after you are in 6th grade at another school, because for people are doing algebra 1 in 7th grade, have separate science classes for bio, chem, and physics. However, you will be rewarded, as (In my experience) in UIL, we regularly win most of the awards. Not too great sports programs though. And as other reviews say, your student will have to study. The motto is literally "Exellence through Rigor" Not much bullying though

Start with the administration that will "hear" your voice but they don't listen. They push subjects down to young people who are not ready for the content either morally, emotionally and intellectually. The subjects are mandated by a panel disconnected from the schools and students. Administrators don't have any reason to change the curriculum as all they care about are rankings and money. They have instructors that don't understand their students. They mandate AP subjects to 14 year old ninth graders as if they are 19 and 20 year old college individuals, you cannot choose otherwise and the head of school does nothing! ..

I put my child in this so called great school for 2 years but pulled her out because of how…read moreunorganized this school is, and the lack of responsibility from the teachers. When they first opened up the school it went only up to 7th grade instead of a full middle school.The second year they added 8th grade knowing there was not a lot of room for any of the students and they know this school is small. Another this is the car line it is utterly ridiculous! There are so many students and we the parents need to get to work. The first year the car line was not as bad but the second year OMG they waited to open the doors at 7:15 knowing they have a lot of kids and I just don't understand why they couldn't open it at 7:00 and allow the kids in. Another thing about the school is the teachers especially the middle school teachers they have no respect whatsoever for your kids. My daughter would go and ask her teachers for help when she didn't understand something and they would tell her to go look in the book. How would she go look into the book if she doesn't even know what she's looking at in the book! Another problem with the school is the Admin. They do their job poorly and don't deserve that position whenever there is a situation they don't do anything to resolve the situation. My daughter was body shamed by a kid and she reported the situation and they didn't do anything. Her friend got her parents called for talking without permission yes I understand that students should not call out but is it that necessary to call their parents? My daughter also witnessed a teacher yelling at a special needs student for being g to loud in the hall that poor kid did not deserve that and I can only imagine what else they do to those poor kids in the special classes. All middle school students are forced to learn Latin. The former teacher who was my daughter's teacher who quit his job (gladly) never helped the students, in their personal space, and obviously had no experience working with kids he was a horrible teacher. The problem with the teachers at invictus is that they take advantage of being a teacher who has a higher position and bully's these kids. This is a terrible school I don't recommend putting your kids through this prison at all!

Specifically the…read moregirls coach's have such an immense favoritism that they would rather play a girl who's scared of the ball or can't dribble right up and down the field than someone who isn't. One of them (a coach) had told me once that they "didn't know where to put me" and when I would ask for advice to be better gave me half booty cheek answers. Refused to actually coach kids correctly or effectively. This coach in particular that I'm talking about was the head soccer coach my junior year of high school. I never talked back , always did what I thought they expected ,but yet was still not given the equal opportunity to play or be coached. She teared me down even more when I had bad days and never said anything when I did good. The day I decided to up and quit was when most of my team ganged up on me one morning just shouting horrible things at me making me even more de shuffled mentally. Not all of them did but most of the under class men female dogs did and I was nothing but nice and encouraging to them. Keep in mind, the coaches just stood there and WATCHED them tear me down, I walked off the field and went home. I'm not sure if the coaches there are just flat out miserable and enjoy breaking kids spirits but this clearly still affects me if I'm currently writing a review 2 years later. Also Mrs lane who's the attendance person or whatever she does there is trashy and unprofessional , I told her that my uncle took his life and she asked me why I wasn't really at school and when I told her I was depressed and rather be at work she flat out told me "why do you need money you have beats on your head" (the beats headphones). Which if you're reading this , I BOUGHT them with the money I worked for. She also attempted to embarrass me by trying to call me out saying I didn't want to graduate by asking other students in FRONT OF ME "do you want to graduate" and then proceeded to move onto the next person and ask them the same thing. She asked three or four other students near us when we were in the library to fix whatever we needed TOO graduate. There was about 20-30 kids in the library at the time of this event. I walked out in front of her because it doesn't matter who you are you're NOT going to try and tear down a student in front of their peers who's clearly trying to seek help. I was quite literally willing to risk not graduating because again, my uncle took his life and I had been previously depressed that whole year but yet she didn't care until it was the end of the school year and tried to embarrass me ? Many other students at the time agreed that what she did was wrong and that she's ALSO treated them that way or similar. And yes I do have depression, I have papers for it , my mental health was just not okay that year. It's one thing to give constructive criticism and I know for a fact that I CAN take constructive criticism but it's another when you're tearing down a minor to make yourself feel better. These are grown adults in their 40's or 50's like are you serious ? I hope no one ever has to endure the mental torture I have gone through not just there but in life period. This school needs to re-evaluate their whole coaching staff because their treatment just wasn't right. In no world will that ever be right.
