Spring High is a very good school.It has many extra-curricular activities to choose from, and an excellent Honors Program.It was very crowded, however, before the new High School was built.I think some of the problems mentioned in the other reviews are problems that exist at all schools to some degree.For

The worst part about this school is that nobody seems to care about what my opinion of the 'worst part' is. Do you get me? I'm not a human, I am a tech-know-lodge-ee-kahl career with low TAKS scores. I have never experienced such a restrictive, degrading and altogether arrogant school system in my

I am a current student at SHS and I must say that I do not enjoy it at all. I will say that about 90% of the staff jumps to conclusions as if all the students are the same. It may not seem like much, but it does effect most. An the new principal at Spring, I'm not a big fan of his. I don't like how he

As a former student of SHS, Spring was a good school except for the fact that if you were a football player, you could choose your own grade. Knowing current students and others that would know, the diversity of SHS is changing along with Spring itself and and as that happens, parents' involvement in

Spring High School was and remains and excellent school, regardless of what others might say. The school has an outstanding program for students who are advanced for their grade, and the teachers are nice and cordeus. There is, indeed a lack of space, as well as other factors, but that does not make

The only people that i have seen get in trouble are the people who constantly misbehave, and when consequences are given they often overexagerate the actions the teachers took. The school has an exeptionally great music program. The band has been a constant finalist in various marching events, and currently is one of only two bands in the state of texas to win the Grand National Championship (The other band being the sister school, westfield). The band also has had many all-state players. This school is an excellent place. I highly reccomend it. Read less

My son came to Spring High School from Mc Neil HS in Round RocK Texas. At Mc Neil, he never had a run in with any of the staff members.

There has been a definite decrease in the quality of education & the quality of teachers in the last 10 years. Overcrowding is an issue but the new school being constructed should relieve that.

Spring High School has drastically changed over the past 10 years. There was definitely a 'golden age' for Spring during the early 1990's however, it seems as if Spring is now in a depression. I frequently observe students 'playing the academic game' to get to the top of their class. There is a definitive

Spring needs a wake up call for its academics, athletics has taken the top priority it seems as all focus lends towards those activities as opposed to academic achievements. Read less

I attended spring high and graduated back in 1984. It was a great school back then. Now the school is overcrowded (God forbid there be a fire in between classes, the halls are packed with students, shoulder to shoulder.) and the school seems to be overwhelmed. All three of my children have attended Spring

But if the parent asks for help with a lagging child who is un-interested and hates school, the faculty is unable to help. (I asked the assistant principle if he could reccommend something to encourage my son and he literally shrugged and said 'I don't know.') Bottom line: if your child is self motivated, he or she will do ok, otherwise, they're doomed. Read less
