The school is the best thing that ever happened to me. It may not be the best school in Dallas but it is still a great school to me. I just attended this school in the years 2006-2008 for my 7th and 8th grade year! I had never heard of this school when I was in Elementary but once i attended this school I noticed what a wonderful school it is. The faculty and staff try really hard to help the students reciece the education they need. We have really improved on our TAKS scores and will hopefully keep succeeding. I am really going to miss this school and hope to hear great things in the future about Boude Storey Middle School!

I would not send an human being to this school to be educated! Boude Storey has major discipline issues top administration (Principal, Cassandra Asberry)is very unprofessional, a poor manager, and biased and inconsistent with staff and students. I am a disappointed former corporate professional who changed my career to help educate youth. I took at least a 100% salary decrease to find this reality existed at a DISD school in need of committed and highly qualified educators.

I really enjoyed going here and sending my kids here to get the same great experience that I got the chance to get.

I think this school is a great school. The only thing thats keeping our test scores so low is our studnts. They are very smart, they just dont want to do the work. If only we can make learning more fun then the students would want to do the work.
