Maus Middle School

Guys things will be gone carefully wrong when I was in my laptop and doing research from iLA Google was freaking blocked ?! I'm not freaking kidding and I would reccomend that this school might get good to evil and they will never give u free seating cause I thought math and iLA staar will allowed free seating but they allowed free seating when im testing but in math staar they didn't.

This school is gut wrenching and going here everyday is just a new negative piece of stress being added to your life. Some teachers are so sweet , nice, and great when it comes to their job which is the literal ONLY reason that second star is there, but some teachers insult the kids which I have saved on my school chromebook for proof. I have been bullied made fun of for a medical condition i have and my phone number has been leaked on public social media, but when i explained the story top to bottom all they did was talk to the other student to not do it and it really didn’t make a difference at all. Also when you have a situation where your the victim. Some teachers up there ADMIN to be specific will break their back to find reasons as into why it’s your fault for example . If you went to the office and told them you got bullied for accidentally tripping a kid they are the type of admin to say “well if you didn’t trip them it wouldn’t have happened “ and call it a day. They also yell at kids even if the kids never raised their voice they still choose to raise it anyway. A male kid nearly punched me in the face and attempted to fight me. When i told teachers about it they said if i didn’t “aggressively “ approach him the way i did it would’ve been different i didn’t even do anything to the kid the kid morely did something to me and i was just protecting myself . They give SO MUCH HOMEWORK realistically 3 to 5 pages at most and that’s just for one class a lot of kids do sports outside of school but they don’t care even if we had a game for the sport we do at the school they don’t care bullying here is highly severe and nothing is done about it only one counsler does something and i love the principal she is a great person to talk to and she is very helpful other than that those AP are the most cruelest people every they don’t do anything about your problems and they just assign you a punishment wether your right or wrong

parents if your reading this please for the safety of your child don’t bring your kid here it’s so so so so draining i come home from school questioning myself am i even enough because of not only the way the kids treat me but teachers i also told the teachers the only reason i was tardy to class was because i felt like i was gonna pass out and needed food and they brushed it off and still got onto me for the tardy . Worst school every id rather go to a school with rats and ants everywhere and they treat kids opposite from teachers now.

My older son recently went to this school and my younger son is still in there. When I first tried to register my kids in this school I had to remind the school multiple times to process there documents. Our kiddos are told many times in school to follow orders the first time not the second time but this school fundamental doesn't even follow this basic teaching. In my kids first day in school one of them told me that he had seen adult images engraved onto the restroom doors near a restroom toward the cafeteria and they school seemingly never has ever done something about like a paint respray or whatever. A noticeable amount teachers also seem to have a more "do it yourself" attitude instead of helping students. One of my sons had a question about his math homework and his teacher simply redirected him to read from his math book instead of helping him. Not everyone is bad, a lot of teachers are great but there is need for improvement. My kids have never had a bullying problem in the school so I'll rate that as a positive. Overall I'll say its less than a pleasant experience especially compared to my kids old school in another state.

There is a lot of bullying at this school, the school counselors refuse to address these issues and tell the victims to get thicker skin. This school is on of the worst for bullying!

would get bullied everyday for three years this school did nothing about it i have seen other students get bullied to. This school does not do a god job at that i rember some days not wanting to wake up and go to school because it was so bad i would get bullied by the same people and the teachers did nothing. THE LOCKER ROOM was the worst students would bullied in there pants each other and more yet the people in charge did not see like how do you guys not see that there needs to be more people in charge i would say the only people who actually did stuff were the Councillors and principles. Hopefully things have changed since i went there but im just speaking from experience. i have y'all know that i was scared to tell anyone about this topic.

My son is high functioning autistic. The teachers at Maus are not engaged or effective. His education was outsourced to the paras. They wanted to put him in special ed classes instead of mainstreaming him. We're paying for private tutors to keep his learning on track.

We are not impressed with Maus Middle School and do not recommend it. Friends have transferred their children as well.

I can honestly say, Maus Middle School has been the worst experience of my life and the greatest waste of time. My health has decreased, hours of sleep is lost because of massive amounts of homework and projects with no outline or direction; causing less punctuality. My social reputation and personal feeling of safety has been nearly shattered. Drugs, vaping, sexual assault, physical violence, severe verbal bullying is everywhere. When reported, one of two things happen -- it gets investigated and nothing is done or you are silenced.

If you plan on sending your kids here, don't. The environment here for students is absolutely toxic.

Superb. The teachers most often are responsive and encourage to be in contact with the administration of the school

Posted: January 28, 2019

The homework allows student to think and tests their concept understanding capability, which is good in the long term.

They teachers like to show they care about there kids but really treat them as robots.

Posted: September 25, 2018

I have seen the teachers that handle kids with disablities are very rude to the kids and ignore the fact that they have medical problems.

Posted: September 25, 2018

Schools does not deal with bullies at all took 5 complaint to get a good response. And they tell us too do stuff the first time :)

Posted: September 25, 2018

Very bad school worst I have seen because of these 4 main things. Teachers, They teachers only teach for 2-10 minutes at this school. And rest of time is doing worksheets, stations and we get them done just in 10 minutes and wait till class ends. In all teachers barely teach which contributes to my low grades. Please do not send your child because you think kids are smart because of the 10 out of 10 in all the subjects . The truth is Texas has a very low state average then other states with have averages high as 81 when Texas has 41. Thats why It looks like the kids are doing good. Homework, We get way too much homework. I our old district we got homework done in 30 minutes. But In this school we get so much homework that I stay up to 11.00 in order to get just a 90 sometimes 40. It is very hard since the teachers barley teach you. Money, I am not surprised to see this school is money savvy but there has been no improvements tech is still from 2008 and is refurnished. Even though it costs 20 dollars to buy a art book. 5 Dollars to get a new plastic rawer card. 8 dollar to replace ace the background of your school picture. And still no improvement Where does this money go too.

Teachers only teach for 2-10 minutes because they do not want to do anything.

Me, my friends and little brother we’re all bullied at this school. We talked to multiple teachers and APs about it, but they did NOTHING. Was told I was “delusional” when I confronted them about it.

Posted: July 3, 2018

I think this school has been the worst 3 years in my entire life. Not to scare new students, but something has to change soon for this to be a safe environment for them. This school is a total mess. Please fix it for future students.

Posted: July 3, 2018

Teachers load you with homework, and complain when their unrealistic deadlines aren’t met

Posted: July 3, 2018

Horrible teachers and councilors. They don’t care about their students, or bullying which (though they try to ignore it) still happens! Wow who would of thought? There ARE a few good teachers but they are few and far between sadly

Posted: July 3, 2018

They reward the opposite by ignoring bullying, teasing and harassment reports and instances

Posted: July 3, 2018

Again, (refer back to teachers section) they don’t care about their students.

They Hurt my brother with learning disalities so bad he had to switch schools because of one, The teachers and two, the bullying he reported many times but was completely ignored

I had three sons who attended this Maus and they received an outstanding education. My experience with the teachers and leadership has been very positive. The enrollment for this school is average for most FISD middle school and the teachers do respond quickly to an issue you have regarding your child.

There is no consistency. The admin doesn't follow the student handbook; therefore, the students don't know it or follow it. They don't address theft or bullying either.

We won't be returning to this school. The enrollment is too high and the teachers are stretched thin.

Posted: September 17, 2016

They dress code you and make you wear baggy large sweatpants that say Dress For Success. So everyone knows you got dresscoded and can embarrass you. They also are sexist and make boys do more work than the girls when girls are capable of doing it too. Also the teachers have favorites and some just sit and do their makeup all day, not even caring about what we do. If you get on their bad side they will not answer your questions and if they do they will be annoyed and have a very mean tone. If your hurt or its hard to breathe when your running track they wont care and will tell you to keep running or you will do double fitness. when they clean our uniforms they use cheap laundrey detergent. I have been here for 3 years and I know what it like

Posted: September 17, 2016

Most students won't understand what the teachers are trying to explain because they go to fast, don't give a clear explanation, or when you ask they tell you to go to tutorials because they don't have enough time

Posted: September 17, 2016

if your on the volleyball team and you have lots of homework they will give you only 40 minutes too and that's it. The games are really long so once you get home its already 9 or 10 pm. They give homework in every class and assignments too.

Posted: September 17, 2016

they wont care if you get bullies, they will just shrug it off or not pay attention to what you are doing. If they favor someone they will more likely give them better grades and help them more. if they don't like a student they won't bother saying Hi or ignore your hand when your raising your hand to ask a question.

Posted: August 24, 2016

They don't know what they are doing. On my math exam the teacher gave us all a 100 because she didn't even know what she was suppose to be teaching. Teachers don't seem to care about the students or their grades.

Posted: August 24, 2016

I don'y remember much about the homework load, but from what I can remember it seemed more than fairly manageable.

Posted: August 24, 2016

Terrible students. They are far from being honest or fair. There is absolutely no discipline at this school.

Posted: August 24, 2016

Teachers are horrible, they are not helpful and they don't seem to know the ciriculum they are teaching.

Posted: February 18, 2015

This is our first year at Maus and it has been wonderful. Teachers and counselors are really great with the students. I believe that most of them seek to give the students the individual attention that they need. It seems to be a very positive and encouraging environment.

Posted: February 17, 2015

This school communication between parents and administration is horrible. If there is any issues at the school, it will take several calls to even meet or speak with someone for a resolution. I think there are way too many young teachers/staff members there that do not have the maturity to conduct business in a professional manner. Some of the teachers are great!!

Maus Middle School is a fine school, there's nothing special about it. When you're there, you may notice that the school favors females far more than they do males to the point it's ridiculous. In lunch, girls get to class fastest and boys have to go the long route. In classes, usually if the boys do something wrong, even if the girls are doing it as well, boys will be told to "look at the girls", as if they were a good role model. However, the largest favoritism I've seen so far in this school regarding boys and girls is in any athletic class that I've attended. Here's an example of one of the instances: We had finished our warm-up and 2 boys were talking to each other, and 4 girls were talking in the back of the gym. The coach said "Girls, you can go change, boys you have 50 push-ups for talking". After this, whilst everyone was at around 20-25 push up mark, one person messed up his push-up and the coach had made us all start all over again, except this time we all did it in sync. We had to do 20 push-ups given we had little time. If your child hates favoritism or you do, do not attend this school. They largely favor girls over boys, to the point some could call it sexist.

This school is very impressive! We were transferred here from a small Texas town and my children were worried about making friends at a new school in a big city. When they walked into the office they were greeted by the staff and by Maus students and taken off for a tour. They were paired with students to make there first week less stressful. The students not only showed them around, but also made sure they did not eat alone at lunch and introduced them to all types of students. After a year of the Maus experience, I will never want to go anywhere else. The teachers are also a true asset to the school, providing tutorials if the students need help and plenty of fun activities and opportunities to participate in school functions or sports. Terrific school and amazing staff!

Very great school. Ever since I started here, my grades have improved a lot. The principal here,Mr. McClendon is the best principal I have ever had and he is very nice too! If you are thinking about moving and you have a middle school aged kid, consider a house within the Maus boundary zone. This school will please you!

Posted: January 26, 2013

Great school. Administration is wonderful, teachers are hard but fair. Principal and VP are very involved with the school and kids. Lots of extra curricular activities for the children to get involved and start to assert their independence in a controlled safe environment.
