This school is horrible, the food and nutrition is extremely poor. Many students feel pressured into doing things they are not comfortable doing. The school is in major debt, and begs parents for money.

I love the diversity of the school and how kind everyone is, but I do not like how strict the rules are.

I think what makes DeBakey stand out is its friendly and accepting atmosphere. So far, all of my teachers were hard-working and were willing to stay after school to help and tutor their students. My physics teacher, especially, gives one of the best memorable lectures and teaches with utmost dedication. She is part of the reason why Physics concepts and topics interest me, even though I don't get straight A's in her class. If I typed all my favorite experiences with teachers, it would probably take up six pages or more. Overall, I like this school. Not just because of the friendly atmosphere but also because of its competitive nature. The competition helps me work harder and reach higher and higher ahead of my goals.

Testing scores always fail under the standard. I do not recommend this school to parents who want their child t...
