Poteet is a great school in a supportive community. We wouldn't send our kids anywhere else.

I have had 2 students attend and graduate from Poteet and my youngest is now a Junior. Poteet has a diversity of programs available to students, college prep, AP, vocational/ technical, and dual credit. Orchestra, band, JROTC, athletics and theatre programs are also great. Parental support is strong and the adminstration is very effective.

I have 3 kids that attended Poteet and two just graduated. This school is great, my kids enjoyed it. They have all been involved in band. No school is perfect but I'm glad we chose Poteet because the teachers and principals have been great .

Both of my children went to this school and graduated by the year 2000. We feel strongly that they were given a good and thorough education. We found the teachers to be, for the most part, extremely diligent and kind. We were very satisfied with the music and drill team program overall. (The band program was/is superb!) The administration was exceptional during this time period as well. Parent involvement was extremely high.
