New principal every couple of years (Fitzgibbon was the only good leader), staff like to bicker among each other and cause drama more than the kids. This school is the basic DISD trash heap, the staff, for the most part, can care less for the kids and are targeted and run down by very poor administration. The few good teachers that are there are forced to leave the district because of horrible administration. Academics are horrid, athletics is a joke since Duke was forced out. PARENTS KEEP YOUR KIDS AWAY FROM THIS NIGHTMARE OF A SCHOOL!!!
Emmett J. Conrad turns out to be another "DISD DISASTER"!!! The front office staff are just 'RUDE" & "UNWELCOMING"!!! I've visited the school on several occations and each visit was "Horrible"!! I can say that most of the teaching staff that came through the office for whatever reason were very "PLEASANT & COURTEOUS". The young lady at the front desk was not very helpful nor did she have any knowledge of the info in which I needed. She continually had to go ask the office manager information & the manager never came out of her office.The principal is not very accessible either, you have a better chance talking with the assistant principal (whom is a pleasant lady). There is no PTA & the school doesn't communicate very well with parents. I have emailed &/or called my child's teachers and to date I've gotten no response. This school is such a DISAPPOINTMENT!
I think uniforms are a great idea, you can't tell even if the kids only have 2 -3 sets of them which they can wear alternately for the whole school year, it is more expensive for parents to buy several kinds of clothes because high schol kids want to have different clothes to wear for each day! With the same color and style each day, you can't tell how many sets of uniforms they have and students who can't afford to buy the latest trends won't be feeling left out and insecure!
I'm a parent, I find this school and the administered staff to be poorly operator. I had really high expectations of this school in the beginning, but its turning out to be like any other Dallas ISD poorly developed. We as parents need to really get involve in our children school and community of the school. As, I drop my child off to school every morning, I sit there and watch how our children are being mis-treated and rudely talking too. This could be a better school, if they just get the right admin staff. I just know that Dr. Conrad is just turning over in his grave and looking at the mess this school has is turning out to become.
Iam at a 10 grader at conrad high schhol and i think its a great school. they have wonderful classies and teachers.
Ok so im a 9th grader going to conrad and i hace to agree with what other student reviews say about this school. The dumb security guards blowing the whistles during classes is so anoying, and the dress code is also a bad idea since some people cant get the clothes needed. But seriously, the uniforms are DUMB!
As an 11th grader at Conrad, I find this school to be diverse. Our school is like the united nations, and there's nothing wrong with a lot of diversity. There's plenty of activities, but how this school has been rated academically unacceptable is a whole other story. I can't say that I particularly like going here, but it's okay. Also, I hate having to wear uniforms because they cost too much money which effects parents because of the recession. Also, they're kinda stupid. I don't see any other district in the DFW that makes students wear uniforms, so why should we?
I'm a 10th grade student at Conrad. As another student previously stated, the school has a great atmosphere (if you don't count the innumerable rent-a-cops relentlessy blowing whistles every 5 seconds between classes, causing half the students --okay, maybe just me-- to suffer constant headaches during school hours. The majority of the students are intelligent to an extent, and the teachers are okay, creating a good learning environment. There are plenty of extracurricular activities and student clubs, allowing just about any student to make plenty of friends. A diverse student body, understandable teachers, and friendly staff are the main reasons this school is so great.
I love this school. I can't say anything about what might have happened in the past, but this year so far has been amazing. The teachers are great and all the students are good to each other. I can't say too much because i have been at the school for a couple of weeks, but one thing I can say is that from a students perspective I think that the school is great and has many different opportunities.
i dont think this is a good school... I dont think uniforms are a good idea... more work for the parents.. and more trouble for students its not gonna chage anything in da students....
I'm a parent and I think uniforms should have been implemented at the first of the next school year and not 2nd semester. It was unfair to the parents. It can cause a strain for single parents with two children attending school here.
