This is the way High School is ment to be. I attended AIM CENTER High and loved every minute of it. The teachers are great and they really care about their students. Smaller class sizes make for more one on one with the teachers.

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.
