Premier High School - San Antonio Windcrest

Posted: April 18, 2026

"I can honestly say that Premier High School changed the trajectory of my life. I graduated a bit later than the traditional timeline, and for a while, I wasn't sure how that would affect my future. However, the staff at Premier never made me feel behind; instead, they gave me the exact environment I needed to catch up and excel on my own terms.
I am now an aspiring Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), which is a high-stakes, high-energy job that requires an incredible amount of patience, discipline, and adaptability. Premier’s self-paced model was the perfect training ground for this career. It taught me how to manage my own time, stay focused under pressure, and take full accountability for my work—all skills I use every single day when working with clients.
If you’re someone who feels like the traditional system isn't clicking, or if you’re worried about graduating late, don't let that stop you. Premier prepared me for a 'real world' career that is notoriously difficult, and I feel more than ready to take it on. I’m proud to be an alum!"

Many students only come here because it's free and it's one of the only schools left that will accept them. The bullying is horrendous and the apathy from the dean is awful. He seems to be kind and involved, but never actually solves any problems. Instead of attacking the problem, he attacks the person. Many students have come from his office upset and crying beacuse he would not help them like he said that he would. I refuse to stand for a person who lies to our faces and disrespects his students. Another thing that bothers me is that he will tough the shoulders, arms, and backs of the students. This kind innapropriate behavior should not be tolerated. He should have no right to be touching any student for any reason. Even if it seems innocent, you never know the intentions. Many students have reported the felt scared and violated when he has done this- and it has only been reported by female students. This school seems to support the bad children and just give them a pat on the back instead of following the proper procedures for these students wrong actions. I don't support the dean, but the other teachers are amazing. I hope this shcool will get better, but with the dean in place- I don't see a great futire for this school.

Since it is a self-paced school, homework is mostly optional, but is encouraged by the teachers.

Posted: February 24, 2020

The teachers are amazing and very encourageing and inspiring. The dean is the only exception.

The school 'tries' to biuld character, but it never really happens.

Posted: February 24, 2020

The students have no good role models except the teachers, but the teachers are usually busy and overworked. The dean is not a good leader at all.

Posted: February 24, 2020

The students progress better in the special education department, but I'm not complaining. Those student try their best. I'm proud of them.

Posted: February 24, 2020

The dean sides with bullies and never adresses the real problem.

If the dean were replaced, I would ecstatic. He does nothing for the school, he makes it worse. The staff is wonderful, helpful, and very caring toward students. The schoolwork, while easy, is generally confusing, especially when it comes to the meaningless activities in the knowledge units. Teachers are effective in helping all students, especially those with learning disabilities.

As a student who only came here because of the school across the street, Rosevelt, being a bit worse(Recently they almost had a shooting and are know for the violent things that happen there.) it's not much. The school could be doing much better if the dean were replaced if the lunches improved, and if some of the staff weren't so nosy. Though overall, the staff gets a 4.7/5 from me and the dean gets a 0.1/5, thus 2/5 from me in total.

The books themselves are not difficult when it comes down to lesson work; however, the meaningless "activities" we have to do with the book don't help us with learning the material we need to test. For instance, I have a US History book for Unit 2(or Unit 1 PRO as they put it), one of the activities we must do is to write a story about inventions from the 1800s. All I can say is, "What? This is not English, why do we have to write a story that does not at all pertain to the information in the book?" Their books can sometimes be all over the place, though thankfully, the teachers are very willing to help you at any given time. Though, it still does not make up for everything we have to put into the book for the nothing we get out of it.

Yes, they are very helpful to the students. I have gone to ask teachers for help, and I came out knowing more than what I intended to learn initially, in a good way of course. Teachers also help students when they are not doing the best. For example, a student had a panic attack in class due to one of their friends self-harming in the restroom and the teacher was very calm and compassionate towards them and help them and their friend through the situation while remaining calm. The staff expresses more compassion than the dean does in all honesty. Though one downside is that the staff is a tad too nosy into students lives.

Similar to the last answer, the dean does not express the same qualities he tries to ineffective push onto his students. We are rarely given the chance to interact with other students. Though everyone calls their school a prison, prison is far better than this hellscape, it's more like a mental institution masked as a school than anything. Even then, the worst one in San Antonio from what I've seen, Laurel Ridge, is better than here.

Not at all. We have no physical activities to do, such as football or basketball, that could provide the ability for students to become independent/gain leadership skills by being part of a team. Of course, the school is far to small for such a thing, but they don't even attempt to allow us to gain such skill as we are constantly sedentary, only being allowed a 20-minute break at 10 AM when we can't even go outside of our classroom. The dean is not remarkably expressive of leadership either. He's more senile than anything, constantly berating students for things and not doing his job as a principal and dealing with bullying effectively. (Will touch on in the bullying section.)

I know many students who are part of the special ed program here, they all actually can do their work far better than the regular students. The teachers are excellent at helping them.

The principal makes the school feel bad. The staff is wonderful and teaches these character lessons but the principal is not a man of character even though he thinks he is better than parents and tells us how to raise our kids.

Principal needs to retire. He is vicious and forgetful. He is a bully.

My student gets great help in spef. Those ladies are super.

Posted: April 4, 2019

The principal sides with bullies and treats all situations like it is a conflict not one student bullying another.

Posted: April 4, 2019

I feel this school would be excellent if they got rid of principal. Many of the parents have called district begging them to help, but nothing happens. The number of staff that have left, really good people, tells us that the staff is also not happy.
