Andy Dekaney High School

I am a very involved parent, school work, meeting teachers, addressing issues as soon as they arise, supported in extracurriculum activities and yet the school administrator, teachers, staff are very reluctant to converse with parents. We as parents can only do so much from where we are, Spring ISD as a whole just don't want to work with parents they want to treat parents as if they are the students in their schools, classes. I done my 13 years of school and have been bless with three beautiful children and two grandchildren, my children will obey when, therefore if the school will converse with me then we can work together for what is best for the youth. Meet in a median that will work for all parties. Get with it Spring ISD. So time out for all this parent don't do this or that or parents need to do this or that, do your part and work with the parents to provide the youth a stable, safe, educational, fun learning environment. And There You Have It!!!!!!!!!!

This is a beautiful school and changes have been made in 4 years. However, the staff needs to be more supportive to the parents. They are sufficient in returning phones call to the parent timely on issues. I still have an open issue, but hey who am I, just a parent. They need to realize being friends with the students is not a priority. The students need more time for lunch and getting to and from classes. Eating lunch in 10 minutes can cause upper digestive issues. To overcrowded. I hope the district lines change so they can evenly spread the dynamics of the school.

This school, like any other school, is only as good as it's school community, which is made up of teachers, administration students AND parents. As an involved parent, I have seen my students excel both in the classroom and in their multiple extracurricular activities. Calling ALL parents!!!! It's time for us to collectively involve ourselves in the lives of the children God blessed us with. As you are involved, you hold your child as well as the teachers and administration accountable for the best possible experience for your child. It's easy to write a negative review and ridicule the school but it's a lot harder to do it when you are a part of the solution instead of the problem.

The administration is clueless as to how to run a school with this demographic. Walk down the halls during class and you would see what I mean. This school, like any other school struggling to get their kids passing the TAKS, focuses instruction almost exclusively to the test. The middle and elementary schools that feed into Dekaney ill-prepare these students for high school (and beyond) and Dekaney simply maintains this trend.

a very nice school, nice teacher, and nice students. sstudents learn so much. Also teachers help students out.

A lot of the teachers are truly great it's an amazingly beautiful school. The extra curricular like fine arts are beyond excellent like the band, color guard, and the dekaney diamonds. Dekaney is on it's way to excellece both academically and in every other way possible

First of all, the school is way overcrowded not have have seniors there. Second, the faculty is not all that great. My son came home with a letter from one of the teachers and a couple of her words were misspelled. How are you a teacher and you have misspelled words....go figure that one out! The architecture is great but the school itself is not great - very unorganized.

I go to Dekaney High School. Some of the teachers aren't really that good. Some of the teachers really do care about the students. The extracurricular activities are amazing and the school's architecture is outstanding. Of course Dekaney has the problems other schools have like fights, and disrespectful students and stuff like that but over all it's a good school.
