Terrible Admn/Superintendent/School This school is a very small school and you would think that it would be a great productive school...NOT... This school is very politically oriented, such as making examples of children w/low self esteem or gpa... Negative discipline....no time to listen and work w/parents to the point the parents are exhausted and do not want to make an effort. A board that has no belief in the school so much so, that their children are going to other schools or home schooled. Their Special Ed is non existent...they claim to back the spec ed... but they do not. The S.I. only cares of her pay and will not see that children are pulled out because the school discriminates w certain children and parents....SAD SAD SAD

When my son was in Dell City HS he loved it. The teachers, principal, and staff are polite, curtious, and always keep the parents informed.

This is a awful school. Our experience led to a K/1/2 class combination with a obsessive compulsive, rude, incompetent teacher who was not aware of the curriculum and was over working the children. The reading classes are combined with the ESL students and the teacher conducted the class in mostly Spanish. I would say 90% of the class was ESL students, leaving the English speaking students lost. The principal is negligent and turns a blind eye to these issues. My child was harrassed for her medical condition by her teacher and I ultimately ended up home schooling my young child until we moved. A fact that should be considered before enrolling your child is that there are members of the school board who do NOT even send their children to this school. They either send them to a DIFFERENT school or home school. PARENT BEWARE!

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.
