However if it is an area he excels in then he is challenged by the teacher to further strengthen his knowledge. The teachers all care and love the kids. They truly believe in education and do not teach to a test, they teach the subject and a child's ability to grasp the information. If your tired of public schools, I would check NCEC out, my son has blossomed while here.

I was most impressed how attentive, caring, patient and compassionate all their Staff was on the first day of school. Let's state I was new to everything and I needed lots of help.

As a parent you check-in at the front office and they will check your ID so bring it in. Nurse is also very attentive and assertive.

Ended up selling a box of chocolates to one of the admins of student education at Brown Middle…read moreschool and she showed us around campus after school. This is one of the best things about El Paso...the community cares and takes the time to show what makes them proud of their city! I loved that my kids saw how much the campuses supports each other since we were selling for Tippin Elementary. The Brown campus is big! The shape is like an airplane and it's 2 stories, they have a huge awesome cafeteria decorated in my opinion like Simpsons land with cute fronts and diner style booths. They have a large gym with volleyball at the moment utilizing it and a CrossFit program! The most impressive to me was the STEM program in the new tech hall. They have group classes and a fab lab with Lego robotics and several 3D print labs. This is definitely a school that invests in their students future. It's also the only EPISD STEM certified middle school (6-8 grades) that enables them to earn college credits. They also have the program in dual language as well. We are definitely happy that this is another great option for our kiddos and had no idea that all this exists since we just started our schooling journey. So glad our tax dollars show up in the state of the art classes and curriculum. And it all started with a box of chocolates..."you never know what you're gonna get".

Over all, I had a good experience considering I was there for such a short period of time. They were able to help me and test me to see where I needed help since the private school I came from was so behind on math and science. They then worked with Hornedo to make sure the next year I would be caught up so I would do well in high school! Just hoping they fixed the sewage issue, as that was a very big problem and made the entire school smell.

The Young Women's Leadership Academy is public all female school. Combined middle school and high…read moreschool, there are 330 students total. As a former student, I would to address my comments, concerns, questions, and criticismn just as the principal would ask after addressing issues. First, I would like to share positive comments about the campus. This school has outstanding teachers that take pride in their role for these young women. Many students have been successful thanks to our teachers. In my opinion, this was the only thing that stood out to me from my years as being a student here. Next are my concerns. My first concern is how the campus functions during extreme climate. The school needs to do a better job with the air conditioning and heating system throughout the campus. Students constantly complain about the freezing classrooms or the hot gym which leads to my next address. Here at YWLA, there is a strict uniform policy. One thing that the administration is constantly reminding us about is outerwear such as jackets, hoodies, sweaters, anything meant to keep your daughter warm during the cold season. It worries me that the school cannot keep up with keeping our students warm during the winter or cool during the summer. Along with the uniform required for your daughter comes with an expense. The leadership, casual, and wellness uniform, along with Spirit wear can costs parents an excessive amount of money. For some families, uniforms do not arrive in time for the school year. With this issue, it can cause your daughter to get detention or a write up. Besides these critical items needed for your daughter to succeed at this campus, the academics and athletics might not meet you or your daughter's expectations. Academically, YWLA has only few students per grade level receive A-Honor Roll. Coming from a school that tries to emphasize outstanding scores on exams, it might not be satisfactory for some. The school does present challenges as it does have students participate in advanced classes. It concerns me how students have the potential to grow academically and yet do not show progress sometimes in curriculum. On the other hand, if your daughter is a competitive athlete and is willing to join UIL sports, this campus may not satisfy that. This school used to have many sports for both middle and high school. A few years later, sports such as softball, wrestling, soccer, and tennis were removed from middle school and basketball and volleyball were removed from the high school. I will acknowledge that the high school has been successful in certain sports but the middle school athletics program does not deliver the same results. Unfortunately, the number of girls participating in a sport at this campus is low. Teams have become smaller and try-out sports don't seem like it. This what also caused high school basketball and volleyball to be removed due to the lack of students to complete a freshmen, junior varsity, and varsity team. I do not have any questions for this campus but I do have some final words of criticism. I believe the administration for this campus is not at its best. I found the principal, assistant principal, counselor, and security guard to be mostly disrespectful to many students. These administrators enforced rules in a way that students did not appreciate. Small choices can turn into ISS or a referral. As much as they try to keep students in check, they create an environment for students not to feel comfortable or able to express themselves. For being a small population school, I believe these girls deserve adults who show kindness and not portray fear to some. I understand the academy has strict policies, but many rules are not fair. The campus has girls who get bullied because of their interests or the way they express themselves. During my time there, many girls struggled with mental-health and I have never seen a school with students that haven't been to reach out to an adult. I hope my opinion on the counselor can change because I am disappointed that so many had to struggle when they could've received help from someone who acts trustworthy. That is all I have to say for this school. I hope this serves you as a realistic outline of what to expect if you decide to enroll your daughter here.
