Worst school in my entire life, fights daily, shelter in place/hold almost every week, ONE bathroom open in the entire school for every grade level (same bathroom for every grade btw), teachers can be rude, FORCED uniform policies in a PUBLIC school, the principle must not know what he is doing based off all of this stuff.

The students are all rude, constant fighting and discrimination, bullying based off hight weight and other things.

PLEASE save anyone you can by telling them to NEVER go to this school

And none of this is ment to be defamatory for as my experience here is terrible and this is essentially the exact truth of this school

School is fine, I'm a previous student, usually we don't learn anything I could js be on my phone all day without the teachers knowing, a lot of fights, kids would jump other kids for no reason, alot of people vaping and smoking in the bathrooms, once even the police came because someone was selling drugs

My son is in the STEM program at Lindale the last 2years. I just want to say we have had a very positive experience so far. The teachers are amazing very supportive and challenging. My son has enjoyed his friends at this school. The uniform rocks it makes our life simple no complaints on that all school should have uniforms. Education happens in school save the fashion show for outside of school. I have not had any personal dealings with Mr.Nash but from what I hear he does not tolerate bad behavior. He seems to hold the kids to a higher level I wish I could say this for all schools.

Thank you Lindale for providing my daughter and so many other students with an outstanding school year!

This school is definetly not one of the best. The teachers, and the program (STEM) is decent, but the rest is horrible. School activities are not interesting, infact, math class is much better. The school lunch isn't very good, but at least it's edible. Bullying is literally everywhere. My hispanic friend was slapped on her butt from one of the males in gym. She told the teacher, but they didn't do a single thing. Lindale needs to make a better community in order for it to become a better school.

This school is alright, my eighth grade teachers have been amazing especially mr.Malenfant and ms.Brightwell. The school is the kind of chaotic that is fun and has been a great experience, but not perfect.

Homework is broken down as a small percentage allowing more weight to be placed on students for assignments completed in school where students can receive support.

Many students write anything down whether it makes sense or not and teachers are required to give them full credit.

Posted: January 4, 2019

Many discipline problems are not addressed effectively which greatly hampers the learning environment. The teachers are trying their best but there are too many disruptions to keep the students focused on the instruction.

Posted: January 4, 2019

The principal is pathetic and only one assistant principal is somewhat effective.

Posted: January 4, 2019

I was bullied by students and parents, threatened by students, got absolutely no support from the principal (Nash) but was blamed for every problem my students had.
