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.

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.

this school is different from any other school I have been too. they have classes in the hallways which is weird, some of the administrators are rude, you cannot walk down the same hallway on the opposite side like, that is just stupid. everyone must be pushed in front of the class; all backpacks must go to the front. Like how old we are to be doing that? we are in highschool. The dress code, we mind wear uniform as well. They also have no school spirit like zero. I once went to a basketball game here and it was truly little people but even then, the team is not even happy to be there. they are not even cheering up their team. The students here also have no manners, they are also rude and mean. From what I have heard about the things that go on at this school is crazy for them too still not have metal detectors, police, just any protection. My opinion on the school is that I hate it here. these students have no freedom. And they wonder why students do not come to school.

The teachers are okay, only some of the teachers actually teach and the other half just make us do work or write down notes without actually teaching the subject. The kids are horrible, they have no respect for the administrators, teachers, other students, or themselves. The school events are boring, the principal and administrators is trying to make it fun, but the kids don't act right.

Wisdom High School held someone back for supposed incompletion of a course, even though they did complete and pass this course. They also made this person retake a class that they already took at a different school, even though it had the same criteria and standards.

The information on this page is out of date by at least three years. It lists Wisdom at the old address, with the old name, and the old scores. While its test scores are not the greatest if compared with the 'best schools' in Texas, it is a school capable of taking students from a variety of backgro...

My son started going here in 2012, at first i was not impressed with the school at all. The school looked very out of shape and worn, along with children that behaved like juveniles. Over the years, I found the school was working for the better to improve the school. You can tell by how the the stud...
