I am sorry to say this, but I did not enjoy this school. Stupid rules are the least of your worries. I have been bullied several times by children who do not want me to succeed. The teachers were fine, but only people my race actually cared. I was hit, yelled at, and really few higher ups stood up for me. I was squeezed to death by how much anxiety I had just by one of the bullies had came up to me. Thank god though with the help of teachers, I passed with honors on my staar test and am now at connally where I am getting straight A's. Thank you to the people that cared, but for now, many of the people there are going to make it hell.

They have the worst leadership at this school.
Posted: April 15, 2017
Some teachers do it because they love what they do, they are not just there for a paycheck.
Posted: April 15, 2017
Some of the teachers are great but the Administratiors are horrible. They work as a team to bully the kids. My daughter hates it there because we were both being harassed by the Asst Principal and then she transferred so my daughter felt better about going to school and then they brought her back and made her Vice Principal..again it's because they are bullies. Thank God this is my daughter's last year there .
Posted: January 25, 2016
lack of leadership. kids are bad...... talking bad to teachers, fighting and taking drugs to school. not a good school . DON'T TAKE YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL. ...
Posted: April 17, 2014
God bless the teachers at Pat Neff. They have an extremely hard job to do. Parents expect teachers to be a miracle workers. If parents would correct their children home, teachers could actually teach with a required to teach.
Posted: March 20, 2013
Poor supervision and a horrible bullying problem. I suggest private or home schooling if you have middle school aged children in their area.
Posted: July 20, 2012
I went to Neff and loved the school. I remember 6th grade year hating it, but then you actually get to know the people and teachers and you learn to really love the place. The admin. was strict, but they were doing there job and I never really had a problem the teachers, staff, or admin. couldn't solve. So overall, it's a great school once you learn to like it.
