I graduated from 5th grade last year.. and let me tell you that school is AWESOME! I was proud to be a cheerleader for 2 years.. and most important the teachers are really helpful and nice.. for my TAKS test (2008-2009 and 2010-2011) I got 100 on both the Math, Reading, and Writing. Last year (2011-2012) I got commended in all of my 3 STAAR tests. That school is awesome and GO COWBOYS!!! c:
