This school is terrible. Dont send your kids here. The students vape, smoke, and fight in the bathrooms. You might think, surely the administrators would handle it, right? They do absolutely NOTHING. But once someone brings their phone out even during breaks, afterschool, before school, its such a big deal. They care more about students phone being out then any fighting or smoking that occur. You know why? Because they dont want your student to get proof. Do not send your kids here unless you want them to start smoking and get into fights.

This is a wonderful atmosphere for students. Ive had 3 children go through their elementary years here and never had an issue with bullying and they were placed in high level classes in years following. This like any other school will provide tools for your child to succeed if you as a parent are willing to help. They also have a wonderful relationship between the parents and teacher and administration.

The teachers in the school are very good The administration however in the school is very very poor!! There is a lot of Bullying in this school And the office is ill-equipped to handle it. The vice principal yells at the children and the yard workers are not educated properly to deal with situations

my children were welcomed into this school and actually learned to love going to school they give them incentives to want to do more they're excited about the fact that they've had perfect attendance in that they've leveled up in Reading that their math scores are getting better they love the work for fun program where they get to work around their school and give back to the community Houston is definitely not the school that used to be

dangerous school to attend. Bullying is a real issue. Academics is not important if you are afraid to be at school.
