As a student of WLI, this school is definitely better and safer then all of the high schools in FWISD. But it also lacks attention from the district so no as many special programs such as welding like in Trimble and etc.

WLI is a great school academically and provides a lot of opportunities for students to participate in activities, as well as teaching them to be genuinely bilingual. Many of the students are fluent Spanish speakers, but my student started knowing very little Spanish and so participates in the Spanish immersion program, and has learned so much so quickly. The immersion program supports Spanish learners as they take academic classes like social studies and math or science in Spanish. The school has more extra-curricular activities than my teen has time to do, including a fun theater program, student council, whiz quiz, sports clubs, gaming club, united voices for change, and others. The teachers are great and committed to the students. The administration is really competent, and creative in thinking through ways to encourage student achievement and help everyone explore world cultures. They also treat families as partners. Students at other schools might study languages, but at WLI students actually learn other subjects in Spanish too, while working an advanced level. They will graduate with the fluency to work in a bilingual environment. We are grateful for the opportunities at WLI!

One race is bigger than the rest so it's like a homogeneous school. The racial slurs and jokes that are made by students at this school is shocking. Many know what they say is upsetting and hurtful but don't care. The environment is toxic, suffocating and mentally draining. I speak on my behalf as a black student. There needs to be changes made for future students who will the minority at this school. The education is good, but not worth 7 years of this suffocating environment.
Parents make sure your kids know that 'friends' wouldn't call you slurs or say them around you. Remind them that a lot of people they'll meet are not temporary so if your student feels the need to stay friends with someone disrespectful/racist, let them know it's not worth it as anything can happen and they'll go their separate ways as years go on. Make sure they are aware that there could be chance that they could be the only one of their race in a classroom.
Parents teach your students that racist 'jokes' aren't funny to the person they are attacking. The use of homophobic slurs, racist slurs, and physical attacks are wrong. Letting them get away with saying a lot of these hurtful words set them up for failure/harm as the real world is no joke and not as nice

The staff here is fantastic. The teachers all care about their students and are like a family. The camaraderie of the staff stands out and shines. The students here are fantastic and work hard to achieve their goals. The administrative staff tries hard to bring out the best in their teachers and foster a family setting here. It is a fairly new school and it is still growing. As such, there are still some growing pains involved, but nothing that mars the overall experience here.
