Alamo Heights Junior High School
Alamo Heights is a wealthy predominantly anglo area of San Antonio Texas. The students in this Junior School seem devoid of purpose, lack discipline, respect, and character. Many of the teachers are exceptional at what they do, some however are just passing time. Weak leadership is apparent. Closed campus means that parents are not free to go to their child's classroom, but must wait in the office. Parental involvement in this environments is likewise limited, unlike the Elementary schools in the district. If your bright child is not in GT or excelerated classes, you will find little challenge or merit here. The sports teams are predominately anglo and priviledged. So many are in private sport instruction just to make the teams, kids of lesser means find little encouragement to try.
