S&S middle school is a great school! The school is filled with fantastic students and good parent support. 100% of the teachers are highly qualified. Most importantly, the teachers at the middle school and all through out the district are student centered. They work everyday to challenge students academically and build good character with strong morales and leadership qualities.

My child gos to s&s middle school. The overall view of the school is good. The teachers are good the school itself is good but, as for the principal he is a big disappointment. He is no leader he thinks only of himself and not the kids.

About the tests

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.
