Lisa has since retired, but still pops in and remembers our son fondly! Mr. Pinkston, the teachers and support staff are amazing!! We have never seen such kind, caring and knowledgeable professionals! Their attentive approach to students and passion for education has made such an impact! Fast forward 5 years, he continues to thrive in 8th grade with excellent grades and a great group of friends! When we were looking at schools, CHS offered SOARS support which really stood out to us and has been such an amazing tool for our son. I highly recommend an education with CHS, schedule a tour and shadow day, you will be thoroughly impressed

Overall, this auditorium is very clean and well kept up. It's a nice place for events and has a great professional feel to it.

I've heard that it's the alma mater of Peter Weller, the dude from Robocop. Wine 'em, dine 'em, '09 em! The Mules kick- they won state football in 2006. But everyone knows it was the class of '97 that paved the way for that. The water polo team is inspirational, and the swim team is always the best in the district. The tennis team consistently wins state. If you're an incoming freshman, be sure to see your local friendly senior to purchase an elevator pass. Just watch out for the Lords of Death, the local gang who seems to really be running things. In 2009, AHHS was rated Academically Acceptable. High praise!

Wow! This school is HUGE!!…read more It's probably a nice school, but bringing a child from private school, I've found it hard to remain "in the loop." E-mails are fired out at rapid-fire pace, but some of them leave a newbie bewildered. I'm writing this review in December, and I still feel completely disconnected from the school. Ronal Reagan is certainly one of the more desirable schools in San Antonio, but, if you want to get connected, you'll have to work at it. Good luck!!

I'm mad right now. I, a freshman, am seething at the school and I've only been here for 2 weeks…read more I'm not one of those kids who get mad at the school for no reason. So I was trying to open my sisters locker from last year. It wouldn't open. So, I walked to the office and asked why. They told me that it was because they changed the codes. I figure. Unfortunately, I was now late so I asked for a late slip. I know they could give me one because a whole load of students have come in with them. But, these jerks sad no. Nothing else, just no. I walked out. What the heck? I know it's stupid coming from me, a studen, but I want you to see it in my perspective. I am an all A student, in all honors classes. Not all kids are bad.

They publish a catalog that they'll mail out to you if you ask, or you can stay updated on their website. The course descriptions seem to be accurate, and the class fees include the materials like textbooks. The classes range from language classes, to accounting, to painting, knitting- they offer a wide variety of fun, practical classes. Each teacher I've had so far has been knowledgeable, qualified, clear spoken with a lesson plan and handouts. The classes are held at various locations around town, from high schools to community centers. The signage is generally good. Taking classes here is too cool for school!

I've lived in NEISD for 10 years and Have had 4 kids together go through all 12 grade levels K-12…read more All of my kids had special needs and 3 of them were gifted as well. My kids did not receive the accommodations specified in their 504 regularly, and I didn't receive timely 504 updates. My gifted kids were in GT in SAISD and in Northside ISD, but NEISD decided they could not be in the program because of one test administered on 1 day at the school headquarters. Another failure of NEISD is their lack of care for the less fortunate students and families. There is no affordable after school care or summer programs available. The schools on the wealthier neighborhoods (Stone Oak, etc) have nice new facilities and athletic fields, and the schools that are in less desirable neighborhoods have run down buildings and athletic fields. It's no wonder so many charter schools are becoming popular. It's really disgusting and the district should be ashamed to call themselves public education. It's all about money and politics, apparently.

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! ..

In addition, there were concerns regarding the conduct of staff members.My daughter became involved with individuals of a questionable character, and I found the experience of dropping her off at the institution to be extremely petrifying. In an effort to address the situation, a meeting was convened with the principal of the school and the district; however, no action was taken until a year later, by which time the drug situation had significantly deteriorated and even like that it has not been control. Also, to note my daughter's involvement in varsity-level swimming and polo for four years was observed, and an attempt was made to solicit guidance and support from her Coach Nelson. However, instead of maintaining confidentiality, the coach disclosed the matter to the entire team and mom in charge of helping. Consequently, the team and their teammates began to bully and isolate her, excluding her from all activities. Furthermore, none of her peers spoke to her, exacerbating the situation! The coach was also complicit in this mistreatment, as were some of the volunteer mothers who worked with him. The names of these individuals were Janet Stewart and Dana Robinson; They were supposed to be nurturing and kind, but they also mistreated my child and were abusive towards me, despite knowing that I was a single mother who had cancer.I submitted a complaint to principal and the school district again, but no action was taken. It was only after my child began attending Johnson that she encountered individuals of questionable character, and that drugs were permitted on campus. Nonetheless, it is gratifying to note that she successfully completed her studies at Johnson with honours, was awarded with an scholarship, and has now enrolled as a first-year student at a highly regarded university, where she continues to achieve academic excellence.However, the four years she spent at high school were a particularly challenging period for both of us. It is therefore not a school I would recommend. If it is chosen by the reader, however, it is important to be aware of the unsavoury characters that are present, and to not expect any support from the school district or its staff.

* UPDATE SINCE IVE GRADUATED OFFICIALLY FROM NEISD *…read more I'm 18 years old now and I wrote a review about bush when I was 14. While I still stand by my review, I didn't go into detail about what occurred because I was deep into trauma and mental turmoil due to the incidents involved on that campus. Starting off in 6th grade, I was hazed endlessly by peers and even staff for being "too feminine". Instead of helping, the administration at this school disregarded my mental health altogether. If I did anything that was not in their standards, I was either punished or ignored for complaining about being bullied. In 7th grade, I started to engage in self-harm and fell into a state of depression and anxiety that I was unaware of. I would come into school everyday with the mindset that I was going to be bullied and I wouldn't have any support if I decided to speak up. This was instilled because of the lack of care the administration had for students, typically POC or individuals with disabilities. I watched alot of my friends with learning disabilities get negatively criticized and even punished for "bad behavior". Specifically, there was an incident where I was physically assaulted by multiple male students on campus, and when I went to report it, those students still roamed the halls and hazed others while I would get ISS for any altercation or incident where I was behaving inappropriately. 8th grade was manageable, because I understood the school didn't care for certain students and I unfortunately fell into that bias. I had one teacher in particular that would comfort me because she also understood the underlying motives the administration had against certain students, and tried her best to help those in need. There was also 2 incidents on campus that involved a student bringing a firearm, and threatening the school. I personally saw alot of white students carry pocket knives and drugs on them, and were never considered suspicious or searched for their behavior and comments they would make. The counselors at this school were helpful, however they were not confidential and revealed information to my parents that were unnecessary to announce. I understand counselors need to tell parents when they believe their child is a danger to themselves or others, however, the information told my parents was in fact not dangerous or threatening, but took a jab on their parenting styles and blamed their lack of care for the school's trauma-inducing incidents. I've left out plenty of specific incidents that led to therapy, and while I don't think the environment is the same as it was 2015-2018, I still stand by a 1-star review that I don't think they deserve. If your child is going to be attending a middle school soon, please consider online, private, or even a different local school for them, as they will not be enjoying their time at this school.
