This is not a good school. Kids are violent and unruly. I hope the children learn how to prosper in life but DO NOT send your child here. The NISD discriminates by forcing only the schools with disadvantaged youth to wear uniforms. This is one of them. By NISD standards, school HAS to wear uniform=bad school.

1st of all why does anyone want to talk down on the Spanish culture we suffered enough and 2nd we don't get royalty some of the staff really need a hug or something because those individuals treat everyone unfairly this is a great school they just need to remember that if those individuals don't like there jobs, do us all a favor & change professions

This school is horrible, the staff is disrespectful, if you you english as your first language you get mistreated, if you speak spanish the staff treats you like royalty. We are in the United States sending our children to an American school not a spanish speaking school. Had to switch my child's school, do not send your child here!
