The administrations really cares for the staff and students at this school. There are lots of kids but they handle the situation well until the new school opens to releave the over crowded school.

Vogel is a great school to send your children to. The teachers are excellent and friendly. They do what it takes to prepare the students, and they use a variety of approaches to help student success. I student taught there in the fall of 2005 and I would have no qualms about sending any of my children there. It's a great place!

Over all this school was just okay. It is very large and doesn't have as low of a child/teacher ratio I, as a parent, would prefer. However, the school is very concerned about each student's academic growth. Tutoring is available for most subjects, and is free and done by the teachers after regular school hours. They were very dedicated to helping my child bring her math grade up. I do applaud them for that. Physical Education didn't seem to be much of a priority though, and that bothered me considerably. My child did not have PE every day, and often PE consisted of activities that were not very active at all, like 'cup stacking'.

The teachers are great but, the principal needs to be replaced. He is far from being a great role model to the children. His manners need to be retaught.

About the tests


In 2010-2011, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) was used to test students in reading in grades 3 through 9; in writing in grades 4 and 7; in English language arts in grades 10 and 11; in mathematics in grades 3 through 11; in science in grades 5, 8, 10 and 11; and in social studies in grades 8, 10 and 11. 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.
