I was a student at Port Isabel High School. I'm not a junior at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). You may read comments from parents and students disparaging the school, but, in my personal opinion, it is what you make of it. Students can obviously get a good education or else I wouldn't be at MIT. As long as a parent is involved in their child's life then the school environment won't affect the kid too much. Speaking more about the school itself, the administration is lacking and plays favorites. There are a a select group of amazing teachers that I attribute to my successes. Other teachers are awful, but once again, it's what you make of it. Of course, there is a high pregnancy rate (blame abstinence only) and drugs run rampant; however, it seems like that's the case in many high schools across the country.

Port Isabel has some amazing teachers. It's the administration that's lacking. Little is done to promote parent invovement, they would rather label children as losers than push them to succeed. The school needs better leadership and an administration that cares about every student.

I attend Port Isabel High School, and as a student, i feel alright in the school. It certanly is not great at everything but it is a worthwhile school. Some of the kids don't do as great as we should due to the fact of stress, parents, and relationships. However, that has to do with the individual and nothing with the teachers or staff. We choose how our futures go and that is all i have to say about the subject. PS: I like it, its an ok school =)

Port Isabel High School most deffenitly isn't a place where I would want to send my child. It consists of less than 1,000 students. The graduating class is usually less than 90 students. Parents are considered lucky to see their child graduate. The teenage pregnancy rate in Port Isabel is the highest pregnancy rate in the state of Texas. 36 girls were pregnant the first semester of the 07-08 school year. Marijuna usage is not unusual to see on campus either. However, the school did manage to obtain a few teachers that graduated from high class colleges. This town is not a good place to grow up, (I know from personal expierence) and this is deffenitly not a good school to send your child to.

Port Isabel High School is a school that has extemem pride. Our football team is excellent with our 'SeaWall of Defense', which has led us to one game away from state. Along with an excellent football team is our Award Winning Silver Tarpon Band who is going to another state competiton in the year 2003-2004 followed the next year by a trip to Walt Disney World. It is a small school but I love it!
