I hope you aren't actually going to school "in" Dallas. Most of the suburbs (Plano, Richardson, Rockwall etc) have very good schools. DISD on the other hand is horrible. The school board is corrupt and most of the high school campusus especially are gang and drug infected. They don't pay their teachers enough so therefore the quality is lacking. Their is very little learning taking place and they aren't safe.


2
The Dallas Independent School District is a disaster. You could attend private school or go to Plano or Richardson for better schools. The best district is Highland Park. Be sure you know what school you will be attending before moving, because the districts do not go by city limits, they over lap.


3
People frequently say Dallas when what they actually mean refers to all the suburbs of Dallas as well. If you will actually live in Dallas, then you'd be much better off going to a private school. The Dallas Independent School District does not have a good reputation. The drop out rate is extremely high. It was just announced that the school board has not renewed the Superintendents contract so with a new one maybe things will improve, but that will take time. The schools districts in Highland Park, Plano, Richardson & Southlake are excellent and most of the other suburbs are good. As you were told in another answer you need to check your address to see which school district you'll attend because the school districts don't always follow city limit lines. Example: Some students who live in the suburb of Irving attend Carrollton schools and some students who live in Grand Prairie attend Irving schools and also Arlington schools. As long as you go to a good school I think you'll enjoy high school life in the States.

DISD has not so great schools. if you are going to school in DISD then i feel kind of sorry for you. try applying to a private school in Dallas like St. Marks or Jesuit or Cistercian if you are a guy or Hockaday or Ursuline if you are a girl. they also have good coed schools like Parish, ESD, Greenhill... the suburbs have good schools like PISD and RISD and CISD.

Yes, they can. If you don't like their terms, then don't go to that school. You may have some fun when out of school, too, looking for a job that doesn't drug test, if you can't stop doing drugs.


2
They cannot "make" you do anything. They can, however, refuse to do business with you if you refuse. A private school is a business and they do not have to keep anyone.


3
I assume you knew they had a policy in place regarding drugs. I assume that you knew that had a policy in place for random urine screening. Did you think it 'wouldn't happen to you'? Yes they can, very legal, you don't HAVE to take the test, but they can easily expel you if you refuse.


4
yes most private schools try to keep a high standard for their pupils a good reputation means higher enrollment.


5
A private school can set their own rules. They are completely in their right to do drug testing if you were made aware that was their policy when you were admitted. No way out of the test,it is completely legal. Weed is on this earth do be used for medicinal purposes,not for someone to get stoned out of their gourd.

There are several good schools near Dallas, Highland Park is probably the best, with Coppell, Southlake, and Keller nearly as good. The worst would be something in Dallas Independent School District, take your pick.


3
When you say Dallas, do you actually mean Dallas itself or the Dallas area? As Lester said, some suburbs have exceptionally good school districts - Highland Park, Coppell, Plano, Keller - but Dallas Independent School District is widely known not to be among the best, and may actually be the worst. If you're asking about each individual school rather than district, only the lucky few can go to the best anyway because you have to go to the school in your attendance zone based on your home address.


4
dont go to any school in dallas independent school district. anything outside of that is good


5
The best high school in Dallas is the TAG high school it is actually ranked the best high school in the Nation by News Week Magazine. The Science and Engineering school at Townview ranked #4. Both of these schools are magnet schools so you have to apply to get in. The worst school in dallas is probably Samuel if it is still open, it is low preforming so they talk about shutting it down every year. These high schools are well known to Dallas residents, people who live in the suburbs only focus on the multitude of low performing Dallas schools.


6
I'm sure Hillcrest High School, School of Science and Engineering, Wilson Woodrow High School are three of the best high schools in the place just check out.

Go to this link to read about the homeschooling laws for Texas. http://hslda.org/laws/default.asp?State=TX

Texas is one of the best states to homeschool in, as the laws are not restrictive. I read the legal summary of the Texas law on the HSLDA website. It looks like the only requirement is that the student is taught math, reading, spelling, grammar, and good citizenship. (Note: You don't have to be teaching all of these all the time.) I didn't see any rules about taking your child out of school, but I would suggest giving the school a formal letter, saying that your child will no longer be using the services of the public school as of (the date you take him out), and that he will be getting his education privately. You don't necessarily have to say that he will be homeschooled. The laws in Texas favor you. Be sure to join HSLDA. I read that in the "80's, homeschooling was declared illegal in Texas, and parents we being prosecuted. HSLDA helped to change all that, and the decision was completely turned around. Now you are free to homeschool in Texas with very little oversight by the government.

Here in Texas, we have some of the easiest homeschooling requirements in the US. There is no paperwork to file. However, if you are withdrawing your child from a school, you should do that, just as though you were switching to another private or public school. The Texas Home School Colilition has a sample withdrawl letter here: http://www.thsc.org/Categories.aspx?Id=0995e7ee-378c-4ef1-ae98-04f26bbcf47b This is key to avoid being considered truant. Curriculum wise, you get to choose. By Texas law you must cover reading, spelling, grammar, mathematics, and good citizenship. The rest is of course necessary for a good education, but not required by TX law. In TX, No one has to approve your curriculum, nor do you need an "accredited" curriuculum. You will want to be aware of any daytime curfew requirements, if any, in your area, so that you are't allowing your child to wander by themself about during school hours if there's a curfew in affect. Where I'm at down in Houston area, it's not a problem. But its' something to know about. If you have question about it, check with one of the local homeschooling groups in Dallas. (There's several, just do a search for "homeschool Dallas, TX" Other than that, the best thing to do is to read the "homeschooling in Texas" info and the FAQs on the Texas Home School Coliition site. They will answer the legal questions. And then get tapped into a local support group or local online support group. Most areas have more than one, and you will eventually find the right one for you as you progress in your homeschooling journey. Enjoy! It is a journey
