Too many teachers are really rude to the kids and they don t appear to care that they are being rude. I don t have to hear this from my child, I can walk down the halls and hear it coming from the classrooms myself. Kids who unfortunately didn t pass the TAKS test are given a special gift that lets
... Read more the whole school know that they were one of the kids not passing the test. The kids can t even discretely hide this gift away from view to avoid humiliation. Shame and lowering self-esteem seems to be how this school has decided to motivate. The principal is a figure-head. He is not a good leader or communicator that s for sure. While there are exceptions, many staff at this school don t even try to communicate to parents in a timely, courteous and knowledgeable manner. Why did this school score an 8 from GreatSchools?

Stinson's teachers are wonderful. They were always there for me when I needed help or just wanted to talk. There's a bunch of activities, something for everyone to enjoy. All of the staff is friendly and nobody ever made me feel uncomfortable. Stinson is a great school. Go Skyhawks. -Class of 2011

Our family made the best decision to leave Stinson Middle School in the summer before eighth grade. Moving to another middle school gave us the opportunity to see what a good school is really like. At Stinson Middle School, my child received detention and in-school-suspension for the most ridiculous

At the middle school we transferred to my daughter excelled as never before. She even received a Silver Star Award recognizing her for citizenship, leadership and a positive attitude. My message to the staff is to encourage the students, and to view them as good kids, who are willing to learn, rather than the juvenile delinquents that you seem to think they are. Read less

Stinson has many wonderful teachers, but it is very overcrowded and impersonal. The first week of school I requested some changes in my son's schedule that I thought would improve his experience his first year in middle school and was denied any changes whatsoever. I doubt my requests even made it past
... Read more the counselor to the principal's office. They just don't like to make changes, because they have too many kids to personalize any child's education experience, in my opinion. The counselors offer little/no help , and did nothing for either my daughter when she attended, or my son. I'm glad our residential area was zoned for the new middle school 'Jefferson'. I'm sure it will eventually become just as crowded, but maybe he'll have a better chance at a more personalized education and his parent's input will be appreciated. Read less

Teachers at this school are good. The principal lacks leadership and discipline. He doesn't believe the children should be disciplined. They should learn by their mistakes and not be aware of the boundaries.
