I've just started my two children at Hackberry and can not say enough good things about the school and teachers. Before enrolling the took the time to sit down with me and discuss my childrens needs. They asked for our opinions, as parents, and what we wanted for our childrens education. We have one

All teachers have been in constant communication with us, and we are always up to date on what is happening in the classroom. Mr Moffat (principal) and Ms Gibson, (vice principal) have been absolutely wonderful. I could never have asked for a more wonderful school and teachers. Read less

As most other reviews have said, Hackberry teaches the TAKS, and that's it. If it does not pertain to the TAKS test then they have no use for it. I had two kids at Hackberry for 5 years and had problems EVERY year. There is very high teacher turnover. In fact, there is only one or two teachers there

I have two children at this school. This past year was our 4th year at Hackberry. My youngest has gone from an A student to barely passing in that time. We have had to fight for everything that they need. The goal at Hackberry is to pass the TAKS. After the last TAKS test the classes did basivally

This school caters to the minority. Every grade level has a spanish speaking class. While I think it's great that they can provide this, I don't think that the other students should have to suffer because of it. This school wants kids to pass TAKS, but doesn't care if they don't actually learn anything in the process. Read less

I have had children at Hackberry since the doors first opened. Not once have we been disappointed with their teachers. My children have excelled at Hackberry and have maintained A averages. They really enjoy going to school and their teachers have been a major reason for this. There has been some staff
... Read more turnover, but I believe this is due in part to the growth and opening of new schools in the district where some of the teachers have been transferred. The TAKS does get attention when the time comes for testing. But the school makes it fun by having theme days and all the classes support those who are taking the tests with encouraging words and notes. Overall, my family has been very satisfied with our experiences at Hackberry. Read less
