In a Quandry About High Schools

I think with any school you have that temptation. We live in Rowlett and I have two that go to Sachse HS. I haven't had any issues with either of them........and my son used to be "the follower" until he started HS. Some of that I think was due to a growth in maturity, some of it getting away from some of the kids he used to hang out with.

But i do think no matter where they go, public or private there will be some "bad seeds". But like I said, Sachse has been a good school so far for us.

I went to Rockwall High School and started there my freshman year. I loved it and would love to move back to put my kids in their schools. The kids were a bit rich and liked their status symbols but any school in this area is like that. When I think about where I want my kids to go to school Rockwall is at the top of the list. Unfortunately it is too far from our jobs.

I went to Pearce and also teach in Richardson. I believe Pearce is a great school. But w/ any highschool kids will be tempted and lead a stray. With that being said....I think I too would have a tough time sending my kids to Lake Highlands or berkner and would feel really good about Pearce.

I unfortunately do not know enough about Rockwall and rowlett, but I know they have a good reputation.

I graduated from Rockwall H.S. and my Mom was a teacher there. The parents in Rockwall tend to undermine the school by objecting to homework and discipline for their kids. I'm not a fan but I do have friends who had a good experience.
