Pegasus is a great school. The school hasn't always been so great, but it has been improving over the past few years. The lunch is getting better every year. The school provides the students free breakfast, lunch, snack and also free dinner. The school provide the students with a free monthly pass of DART, which helps out the students by giving them a way to get to school and to get home. The teachers and staff are great. They all treat each other and love each other as if they are family. The school has great education for the kids. They are also very caring about the students. This school focus on the children's future and college, which they pay the junior year and senior year for dull credit at El Centro College. This school is a great school for kids to attend...
Pegasus has did a great improvement since I have been here for my last fours years. the lunches has not always been great at times but they have really improved with the lunches. Every school has their problems but this school has did a great turn around. the teachers are caring and they care about what you go through not only at school but at home too. this is a great school and you as a parent would love this school.....p.s. -Sam
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this school, They have helped me so much with my 2 children. Being a single working parent is hard enough, they have helped me every step of the way. From the application process to free breakfast, lunch and snack, help with school supplies, transportation, and uniforms free after school tutoring and homework help. I could'nt do it without you <3 PEGASUS

I think this school is slowly but surely moving up. Better quality, Better services, wholesome staff. I am always attended to in a timely and kindly manner. My children love some of these people like family. They are a loving bunch of front office folks and lunch folks, Teachers, coaches, and support staff. A great combo of strong yet patient and kind people. Always trying to do what's best for my children. I really dislike all the bad talk about this school. It takes proffesional people that love children to prosper in a school like this one. Some of the comments made on here by (past workers) simply proves that they did not have what it takes to work here. For the children, for the well being and protection of the students, for a proffesional and non chaotic /dramatic unstable person such as yourself, it's no wonder this school did not work for you. I feel sorry for you, you are in the wrong profession honey. I do hope you are not out there some where teaching other peoples babies. I don't care where you pretend the schools money goes, My child works with Ipads and art supplies I could not afford to buy her for school. Other schools should be so lucky.

As a student here at the Pegasus school of liberal arts and sciences I have in the past year increased my grade average by 30% it is not as everyone says "horrible" we are NOT victims! My little brother has a learning difference and he has gone here for three almost four years now and the teachers and staff have made it possible for him to learn like the other students. I can't believe such foolishness and immaturity has come out of any individual by slandering a school that provides children with the opportunity to reach their potential. For many of us, this school is our home. We grow here, learn here, strive here, and most importantly belong here. This school has giving us a chance to make it in the world. We have dual credit opportunities at El Centro down the street. We get free school lunch, we are offered after school tutoring as well as Saturday tutoring. We are offered free Dart and TRE monthly passes we are given the chance to discuss our goals for college with our wonderful college counselors. Not to mention the class of 2012 was 100% college accepted. We have a marvelous fortuity here at this school and I would recommend this place to any student with a thirst to learn.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. The higher ups (4 individuals with no experience in education) appear to be in a state of delusion. They walk the halls and completely ignore the real issues that are ruining the education of their students. The buildings are falling apart, the teachers aren't given the basic supplies in order to prepare these kids for the real world like clean classrooms and modern textbooks They are also given state funding for a gym, library and cafeteria. However, none of the funding is used for these things. I'll let you guess where the money goes...Meanwhile they treat their faculty and staff like garbage. Part of the lesson plan calls for technology utilization, but they only have one computer lab for high school and lower school. Keep in mind that both schools are located a couple blocks from each other. I don't know how any of the seniors were accepted into college. I definitely wouldn't attribute Pegasus. I would credit their acceptance to the determination of the students despite the adversity, a few courageous teachers, and their parents. I just hope that thee poor academics don't prohibit them from doing well.

As a teacher at this school I can truly say that this school is horrible. The students and teachers are victims at this school. Teachers have not even been told their salaries for the year. The lunches suck, the school has leaking ceilings, no resources for the kids.... It has to be one of the worst schools in Dallas. Like previous raters have mentioned, I too am surprised this school hasn't been shut down by TEA. I wonder how many schedule changes will take place in efforts for the school to meet AYP....

I attend pegasus high school . This school is horrible . DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE. The school is very unsanitary . Their lunch is discusting. Their are some good teachers though all of the teachers tend to quit in the middle of the year The principles even quit in the middkle of the year .. I REPEAT DO NOT GO TO PEGASUS
DO NOT SENT YOUR KIDS TO PEGASUS!! This is a very unorganized school, the teacher turn-over is over the top crazy! I was a former employee and i have seen the structure. I do not even know how this school is still open. Student lunches and disgusting! They are served tuna three times a week. It is very unsanitary, TEA needs to shut this school down. The administartion is ridiculous all they care about is the money. They have no discipline control! No nurse, no vice principal or discipline coordinators, no cafeteria, no gym. I feel bad for those poor kids. so BEWARE!

I am currently a student in this school, 10th grade. I was also a 9th grader last year. I spent most of my life in a private school, though for a few months I was at a public school. Pegasus sounded great, and at first it was. But slowly over time, even I started to realize I had better organizational skills then this facility. There are good teachers, but many seem to have not only little enthusiasm for teaching, but also act immaturely towards us in a situation. They're supposed to show us how to act, not get to insulting us on our level. And passing the TAKs does NOT mean your learning in a school. Our classes are pretty much build not to teach the requires grade subject, but rather, how to pass the TAKs we must take that year. We're pretty much in school for months, learning how to take a test. We can't take core classes for dual-credit. Why? Because the classes at the college might not be teaching you what you need to know to pass the TAKs. And lastly, while I understand the appearance of the school is important through uniforms, giving demerits for uniforms and holding students in ISS while we don't even have an actual schedule is just insane. Learn to prioritize.
My Son has been at this school for going on 3 years now and I hope it is better than last year. He will be moving up to the upper school this year but that was a little crazy for my niece last year. They had all the children in one class room for the whole day with the teachers coming to the classes. The lower school was ok and they did start serving luch (even though my son said it was nothing to be happy over). The parents this pass year were more of a problem than the student!! Why show up to your childs program if you are going to fight in the hall!! Get it together people and show our children how adults are supposed to conduct themselves!!! Dont blame the school when you are not there for your child blame yourself!! This school could use more good parents!! The teachers do a good job of keeping you informed its up to you to use what they give you. As paerent our children are with their teachers more than they are home with us. So lets pull together and make this year better than anyother!!! This school could be GREAT!!! (with a little help from it's PARENTS!!!!

Great school, if they were more organization in there front office staffing and had more parent participation. Which is none. And some teachers need interpersonal skills to deal with parents and students, they need more disciple when they have students that are repeat offenders, or removed altogether... they need one principal and one vice principal and more counselors. My child makes 'A' and 'B's and passed her TAKS. But this school NEEDs direction. They offer college courses at the High School Campus. This school has the makings of a top school if they tried harder.

My daughter has been attending the school in 7th,8th and 9th grade and I have had no problems. Far better than a public school
—Submitted by a parent
My daughter has attended Pegasus since 7th grade. She is now finishing her freshmen year. This school has the potential to be one of the best schools in Dallas, but it lacks direction. Who is head of this school? There are too many associate, and assistiant principals. No guidance councelors. No college prep courses. No parental involvement. Not enough 'after' school activities. I feel the things they are very strict about, and focusing on should be moved to the back burner. There are too many other issues that are far more important. Parking is horrible if you transport your child to and from school. I personally feel that the teachers are not the best they could be. With the school being as small as it is, they could have more individualized help for the students that need it. There are a lot of undisciplined children running around with no supervision.

This school lacks a lot of necessities, such as a school lunches. All students must bring in their lunch. Teachers are too busy with other matters to assist with tutoring the students.

This school is fantastic!!! I am a graduate of Pegasus and not only did the school provide me with a challenging top of the line education, the school provided me with many great leadership opportunities. This helped prepare me for one of the top colleges in Texas.

Parents please be cautious when sending your child to school. I don't know how we managed to survive this past year. It was truly a nightmare. Do your research before considering this school. As the other reviewer said, they do tell you how good it is but when in school, its nothing but disappointment.
—Submitted by a parent
I am truly pleased with this school. It continues to grow from the looks of their TAKS scores. They are willing to really help their students succeed and they truly challenge their students.

The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
The different student groups are identified by the Texas Education Agency; if there are a small number of students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.

Texas uses Accountability Ratings to indicate the overall performance of each school and district. The ratings are based on TAKS test results, dropout rates for grades 7 and 8 and school completion rates for grades 9 through 12. Schools and districts rated under standard accountability procedures are designated as Exemplary, Recognized, Academically Acceptable or Academically Unacceptable. Schools and districts rated under alternative education accountability (AEA) procedures are designated as either AEA: Academically Acceptable or AEA: Academically Unacceptable.
