GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

South Texas ISD World Scholars is a school that embodies what it means to be a scholar. I am able to feel comfortable in school and be eager to learn with the incredible teachers in school.

Needs better administration, needs sports needs more resources, and more social media involvement to know what goes around in school.

World Scholars is a decent public High school. Certainly a better school than Idea. The teachers are nice and understanding, only one teacher didn't sit well with me. It has a bigger library and cafeteria than from what I was used to in idea. The classes are fun if you enjoy it (but we all feel that at some point). The only thing that I don't like is it's change to IB. Not much dual enrollment as it used to have so you have to depend on passing the IB exams to get the credit or do dual enrollment in the summer. Overall, it's a good highschool and I recommend it to those living in Edinburg.

Excellent school with great students and teachers. The challenging curriculum is well balanced with the nurturing and guidance the faculty provides each student. The school environment is amazing. The students come to school to learn and feel safe.

An amazing, personal, caring school who challenges students to give their best! I am shocked at the negative comments about BETA. I can only guess that these reviewers are venting and I know for certain that this is not typical of the majority of BETA students/Alumni.

I attended school here for four years, it was the worst school I've ever attended. The teachers were horrible and the principal was terribly inefficient
