I am very disappointed with DISD's Seagoville High School. There seems to be a lack of communication between the administrators and staff, there seems to be many teachers that seems to have given up and are looking only to get the children in and out.

The quaility of academic programs leaves alot to be desired. Their are many extracurricular programs available. The school seems to be at the academic level of a 70's school, not quite as high tech as I am use to. The school student body seems to be content but there unaware of what there missing by not attending a traditional school with modern faciliy's.As a whole the school is OK if yout not looking to go to college but it leaves alot to be desired.

Although A+ profess's to care about the children...The owner won't allow the school to progress beyond where it is. Her focus is mainly on the honors program and it has no set curriculum.

Students are very important at A+. Everyone can participate in all activities, athletics, color guard, band etc. If students are willing to put forth the effort they can succeed here. They stress safety and security. The teachers care about the students. Parents are encouraged to participate.

Great school where the teachers take the students where they are and bring them up. All students are encouraged to be the very best they can be. The teachers care about the students... like I have never seen before.

About the tests


In 2010-2011, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) was used to test students in reading in grades 3 through 9; in writing in grades 4 and 7; in English language arts in grades 10 and 11; in mathematics in grades 3 through 11; in science in grades 5, 8, 10 and 11; and in social studies in grades 8, 10 and 11. TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas. 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.

Schools and districts rated under alternative education accountability (AEA) procedures are designated as either AEA: Academically Acceptable or AEA: Academically Unacceptable.
