Por Vida Academy Charter High School 1135 Mission Road, San Antonio, TX 78210

"Worse school ever , children fall behind academically due to staff not teaching students and staff dont care what students do children are allowed to smoke and are seen walking around with drugs and nothing gets done , staff alway do favoritism toward students whose parents work there . Students recieve credit for helping teacher feed his animals , this school is a joke. Honestly don't understand how its still open , wouldn't recommend this school to anyone who wants there children to succeed in life."

"Taste of the Southside is held here. Nice festival, very organized!"

"Great school very helpful to children that want to make a difference in their life. I read all these bad reviews on here but the teachers are there to teach and not to be parents. All the staff is very friendly and helpful. Most students are very respectful ‘’the ones that want to learn’’ to staff and others students."

"I over all really liked this place I was already pregnant when I enrolled into this school. I needed to graduate faster they were able to help make that happen but also they helped me get started with college and provided a company to help me find a job. There were classes that was a teen group who were expecting or already had a child and we talked about experiences and got good advice. Yes there were a lot of kids that didn’t make the best choices but I’ve never let that get in the way of me finishing school. The teachers that are there were great."

"My son graduated back in 2012. It was the best decision I made for him when I voluntarily placed him there. He was given all the attention he needed from his instructors while he was there. He made the best grades ever. He was in all the clubs and for once he showed a lot of interest in school. He had many positive role models from all the staff. He also became a positive role model for other students himself. If you are seeking to change your life for the better, this staff will help you all the way. You have to show an initiative. To each his own. It's hard to help someone change if they don't want it bad enough. The classrooms are small and if your falling behind and want the help then you can count on Por Vida Staff to get you to the top."
