Extremely poor communication between teachers and parents. The school does not recognize golf as a sport. If your kid wants to play golf, good luck. There is no coach. The high school coach agreed to "help out" but he doesn't coach. He missed the first tournament, we didn't know when the tournaments where, where, what time, etc. The LISD website for the middle school is rarely updated. The teachers are nice and knowledgeable. It's obvious they're overwhelmed with the number of students and should make as much as a CEO of a large corporation. I appreciate the teachers and bless you all for being teachers.

Unfortunately the administrators of this school apparently have a very narrow field of vision so that is all too common in a small "hick" town.

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.
