I have been in this school district for 11 years now. This is the only school district I have ever known sadly. Im in the middle of my junior year and am going homeschool. The uniforms aren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be but yes you do tend to spend a bunch of money no matter what brand because you have to buy out of school clothes and uniforms. Yes, this school is all about TAKS. I don't know how many teachers on the first day of school preached about TAKS and how they can pass you. This school basically says if you can't pass TAKS you wont go to college. Forney has smart teachers, very smart but are not good at teaching. Most Staff is made up of Coach's who just give busy work also.
I do agree that the children are rude, and the cliques are almost unbearable. The dress code causes us to have to spend an additional $350 per child each year. We want our kids to be normal, so we still provide jeans and shirts as their regular wardrobe. Too much expense! I have met my children's teachers, and I was overall very pleased. It is too bad the school is crowded, with a new school across town half empty. Last but not least, there is way too much homework! We spend around 3 hours each night on homework. Eight classes a day is silly.
This school has really helped my child grow as a person. Her grades has gone up, and the teachers there really help her.
They put a lot of emphasis on athletics, but to say the least, their sports programs are less than impressive. The children at the school are unruly, and very rude to one another. There is a major clique mentality at the school. I believe that the administration should focus less on dress code and regulations, and rather encourage ethics and equality. The school is just poorly run all around, on both the administration's, teacher's, and student's behalf. We transferred out.
