Memorial High School

Graduated in 2013, the school wasn't as bad as most make it sound. There are gangs (stupid premature street thugs trying to look good for the ratchets) just like most high schools in old San Antonio. Memorial is a very small school, less than 210 people in my graduation class. That being said, everyone knew mostly everyone. As for the staff, it's mixed. My senior math teacher took himself very seriously and made us believe he cared for our education and the student-teacher relationships, not just the paycheck. Most teachers were this way. Sadly, not all are this way. Rumors pass around that some slept with students just like my senior science teacher Mr.Revilla who is in jail as I type this review. High school experiences do change with the times, tech and social media has alot to do with it. Most teens that come here have parents that had them when they were teens, and probably went to the Edgewood school district themselves. My advice to the youth of the Westside is to save your future kids the struggle you had and refrain from having them until you're ready. That's your best chance of getting out of here, take life seriously and try. Don't repeat the cycle. I might've went here, but I promise you my future kids won't. 3 stars for the teachers who tried.n-Christian M

This skool badass I love this skool my family came here since the 90s

Graduated 08. It was a drag. Teenagers are always immature.

I graduated back in 2006. this place was awful most of the time when I was there. I was being beaten and yelled at by the students and scolded by some of the teachers and other school staff, the school was falling apart which was long before the renovations. now that I think about it I had no real friends either. I had bull shitted myself into thinking I had friends. you also really couldn't trust anybody and most of the time. I also received unwanted attention. I was also told a lot of crap on and off thru out the school year that I didn't need to hear and didn't care about. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to commit suicide or die in a mass murder suicide. anyone who says differently never had my problems. this place was awful to come to and going back home wasn't any better. I had every reason to commit suicide and I had been thru my fair share if bullshit. I also remember taking an hour to walk home in the hot ass unforgiving humid weather carrying all those crappy books of mine from school in my binder. It really took a toll on the rest of my life because I'm still plagued with bad memories that haunt me to this day from that school. the education system was also terrible since the education was outdated and didn't help us being taught otherwise useless things studying subjects I didn't really care about. the lunch was sometimes the same crap again for a few days. I didn't really care about being a classroom with a bunch of people I hated with a subject I didn't care about or want to study. I will forever hate this place and would condemn it to hell if I could. it wasn't all bad but most of it was. to hell with this school and most of the staff. coming here was nothing to be proud of because I went thru ten times more hell than I should have had to go thru both on and off school grounds just to graduate. I don't appreciate having to come here and go thru all of that. nobody should ever have to go thru what I went thru. it was a horrible experience for me here mostly. I hate having to pass by this place and look at it...

I really love this school more than any other school I went to before or after, or where I am now.
