Community High School

OK, up until HS Community was 'passable' as a school system. HS is a whole different story. We have had no problems with the kids and the overall atmosphere of the school. Let me first say there are some teachers in the HS that truly do care and inspire. I know of one and I'll allow that there must be a few more. However, the majority of my personal experience with the faculty and staff has been horrible!! If you do happen to have an issue with a teacher don't expect support or even acknowledgement from the counselor, VP, or principal. They don't care. Period. The attitude of all but a handful of the adults at Community HS is not at all encouraging to the students. We even had one teacher when asked by a student how to bring his/her grade from an 88 to an A, reply 'this is an accelerated class, you're not expected to make an A so don't worry about it'. This is not the attitude of a teacher I want teaching my student. The school, in my opinion, actually discourages parent involvement. For the teachers that truly care and are trying, I commend you!! I wish I could call you by name here but I can't. The entire rest of the staff of the HS, forget it! They don't care.

If we're being honest, things could be better. There are a few teachers who legitimately care about the students' education, although they are rare. The students are very accepting, but as far as academics go, Community is very behind. With the right faculty, this school could be just as good as a 5A school.

One of the best things about community is their environment. I moved from a 5a school down to a 3a my senior year...And suprisingly enough, i wouldnt take it back for a million dollars. I loved the people. Teachers, students, and even just the 'town-folk' :) i had the privelege of graduating in the class of 2008 and id like to say that ive made the best freinds, met the greatest guy, and had so much fun throughout my senior yr. & For the person who said sports arent top rate?...My boyfriend is going to play college football in ok on a scholarship. Favoritism doesnt exist and drugs and pills 'floating in the halls' must be hallucinations. I loved this school and would go back anyday. :) & For you parents who think were not getting education..Be more involved before you make an opinion.

Okay, first of all, those of you who have rated this school poorly have no idea what they are talking about. Second of all, most parents in today's society don't even seem to care about what their kids are going through. They just turn the other way and don't really care for what they should be caring about. I, personally, am still going to this school! I know what it's really like all the way to the core. All of these nasty comments don't really sound correct to me, a person who talks to anyone and everyone. I, like everyone else, am comfortable in this school because I am accepted by everyone. There is no favoritism here. Seriously, I don't even know who the 'jocks' are because they are treated just like everyone else. There are those who stick out, but they are like for just those reasons. This schoolrocksrocks!!!

Coming from another school districr into the Community ISD has been a blessing. I think the schools are great. I have a child in each school and love the fact they are so close together. My student is not in any sports programs and I do not feel that he has been treated any differantly. Since my child started he has been patted on teh back numberous times for his academic achievments. Me and my family love the small town feel and school spirit.

This is the best school ever! It may be poor but with all of the love and never-ending gossip, its overall rating, to me, is a four.

There is constant drug use and constant favoritism. Pills are bought and sold in hallways and classrooms. New orginizations have virtually NO budget. The school favors anyone in sports and is prejudiced against you if you are not involved in sports, regardless of the fact that the sports teams are not top rate.

I have 2 kids that have graduated from here and went off to college and now have great paying jobs. I still have one left in HS and I make sure that the child is getting the best education possible. I am rating the HS with the current interim principle.
