They have counselors where kids could talk to them and the counselors give them lessons about bullying, drugs, etc. They also have a TAG (Talented And Gifted) program, to get in kids take a test and when your in you do lots of projects and get to hang out with friends.

The depth of resources sets the opportunity for our kids to thrive to their potential. A huge percentage of the students qualify for talented/gifted programs. Our child is in a life-changing Total Communication classroom for children on the autism spectrum or those with other language processing challenges. The teacher is lovingly invested and amazingly effective. Lakewood has excellent communication with the parents and frequent activities for family such as the Dad & Kids campout and the recent Fall Festival. The PTA is unparalleled and dynamic. It has been a blessing and privilege to be part of this wonderful school.

Woodrow works wonders. It serves a population which goes from the children of doctors, lawyers and…read moreother post-grad professionals to those whose parents didn't finish school in Mexico. This mix is unique, you won't find it at other schools. The social skills and friendships formed are as impressive as the academics. Speaking of that, The Dallas Morning News recently published that Woodrow is #1 in academic gains in Dallas. The school was redesigned three years ago into four college prep academies which offer AP and IB (International Baccalaureate). Woodrow and its feeder, J. L. Long Middle School, are the only two IB schools in Dallas. Transfers for those out of the attendance zone are available with applications starting in January. Unlike DISD magnets, Woodrow offers the full range of athletic and extracurricular activities. It is the quintessential American high school experience. The Lakewood area is a bit like a small town and many generations have attended the school resulting in many traditions and an extensive alumni network. My only gripe would be that the principal, going into his third year, is a little to strict on spirit and pep rallies. He does attend most sporting events, however. Overall, it's a great school and a true oasis of education in DISD.

I'm not Catholic, so I'm not sure how to rate a cathedral. Do I need to say a few extra hail…read moreMary's because I didn't give it 5 stars? Or should I attend Mass a few extra times? Of course I'm not sure what's involved in either one of those, but I can say that the wedding I attended here was a nice one. From what I can tell or heard, it was an abbreviated version (which is okay with me). I was impressed with the acoustics and the size of the organ...oh and the large sanctuary. Parking seemed to be vast, but then again it wasn't Easter. St. Thomas Aquinas seems to be a gem hidden within the east Dallas community.

My biggest regret is subjecting my child to their insensitivity for the two hours he spent there.

The teachers really do care, get to know the students, and are engaging. Its the administration that is chasing the almighty dollar and allowing terrible behavior from students against others. There is never mention of treating your fellow students with a Christian attitude and definitely no enforcement of morals by the principal, president, dean of students, counselors. BL tuition is too expensive for the abusive environment the kids have to endure.
