What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, August 13, 2014

My child attended Tice 2013-14 school year and was very happy. She transferred from a low performing school and I just wasn't seeing positive results. I wanted the best education I could possibly get from GPISD so I moved her to TICE and the results are on paper and through her self esteem. She passed all three parts of the STAAR and the teachers were able to identify the difficulties she was having in two weeks from when school started. They worked hard as well as she did to get great results. She's excited about a new school year and thanks to the TICE TEAM she tells everyone about how she had a great year. It's amazing to see her excited and outgoing. Thanks to the teachers, principal, asst. principal, faculty, and staff for all your support. Keep Up the Great Work! Close Quote
