Splendora High School

As a valedictorian of this high school a few years ago, I'll agree with the 1 star rating of the previous review. Although some students here rate the school well and describe it as "excellent," the fact that most of the reviews have major spelling errors reflects the poor education of the school. I agree that many of the students there were very racist, rude, and snobby. Wouldn't have described it that way myself (except for racist), but the description resonates with what I experienced there. I never realized how racist the place was until I left for college 1500 miles away and came back to find swastikas on the pavement in my neighborhood - indeed, students in Splendora will have no idea that racism still exists in the 21st century, unless they face overt racism themselves. I never realized how mean the students were until I did a high school study abroad program and discovered how nice people in study abroad programs are. Most of my graduating class cheated their way through, and I still beat their grades. Most teachers were apathetic about cheating (it happened in front of them every day) and lacking in any sense of academic rigour or depth. School Motto: "Ignorance is bliss."

this school is ridiculous. teachers are about as dumb as the lessons they teach. At this school its all about whose more popular and well known...and if you're not well liked you pretty much get harrassed about it. Splendora does not teach their students how to be prepared in the real world. Splendora is incredibly racist and the kids here are rude and snobby.

Splendora High School maintains its small town principles, but continues to advance systematically in all aspects of education. They offer a vast amount of extracurricular activities and spend the money compulsory for the activities to thrive. They are beginning to set the bar for in the area for how small, rural schools should run.

every school in texas gives an excellent acedimic oppertunity for their students, but it is also important to feed a young persons soul and help them find who they are wanting to become after high school, (after all isn't that the real purpose no one stays there forever) it is very hard to find a school with such a selection of extracurricular activities, besides just sports and splendora offers the perfect balance of other activities along with acedemics and sports. activites that have a hand in many differant feilds hosa, Theare, FBLA, band, ROTC, christian fellowship(you know that's become less common in other schools). Each group is what i would call an 'intement size' meaning that they are large enough to show a continuing sucess, and small enough that everyone knows and relates to everyone, and theres no limit to the number of activities they can be apart of.

I am a 2002 graduate and I really enjoyed Splendora High School. The classes were smaller than others and teachers were really attentive. I think I did better in this school than I would of in a larger school.

I just graduated this last year and I loved this school. The staff members are extremely friendly and make school enjoyable. The health science classes are excellent and help alot in preparing students for a carrer in the health field. Mrs. Mahlstadt who teaches the classes is very devoted to what she does, and is alot of fun.My only problem is that I wished I could have stayed longer!
