If your child is English speaking they will be dismissed. My children are dismissed, and are falling behind because they tend to cater towards the Spanish speaking children. This is absolutely unacceptable. I agree that Spanish speaking kids need to learn English, the issue is, they are more focused on the English speaking kids learning Spanish. They are very disorganized. Teachers/parents will drive in the opposite direction is the parking lot to cut into the side parking lot, while parents are trying to exit the drop off line. I have almost been hit several times. Not one administrator does anything. The campus police just look the other way. It’s extremely unsafe. How can I trust this school to safely handle my children for 8 hours a day, when they can’t even properly run a drop off line. This school needs to be looked into, throughly. I’m to the point of selling my brand new home just to get my children in a better school zone. Anderson Elementary is incompetent on many levels. If you address any situation, you are brushed off, and told there’s nothing that can be done. They are majorly lacking proper resources for learning disabilities. What they do with state funding needs to be investigated.

Experiences at this school largely vary from what I've seen so far. In my experience as an ASHP student and multisport athlete, this is a great school, and I wouldn't choose to go to another if I were given the option. The teachers I've had for my classes (All ASHP and Honors) have been for the most part effective, the football and track coaches are great, and the people I've met are by far the thing I am the most grateful for. But at the same time, it largely depends on which path the student goes. It's only fair I mention that there is a big vaping problem at this school, and 60% of the time if you go into a male bathroom, you will see people skipping class or vaping. There have also been many incidents with fights or drug abuse, but again, it all depends on which people you surround yourself with. There definitely also are teachers that could use improvement, particularly down in leveled classes, along with some coaches. I've seen and been through a large part of this school's dynamics, and for the most part, someone's experience will all go down to the path someone chooses to go.

For schools in the Conroe city area, Bozman is the worst. The current administration is awful at returning messages when you have a concern and some of the teachers are lazy and rude. My oldest went there and didn't love it, but didn't have any major concerns. My youngest is there now and we are looking into other options for next year (transfer, charter school, online program, homeschool) just so she doesn't have to go back for 6th grade. The teachers don't communicate with parents about what's going on in the classroom or when your child is struggling academically. Majority of the long time Bozman teachers wait until grades are due before they enter anything into the gradebook. This makes it challenging to know how your kid is doing in class - there is no homework for you to be aware of what's being taught and what your child is struggling with.

Stockton JH has been a great school for my daughter (8th grade). She loves both the academic, fine arts and athletic sides of this school. The principal, Dr. Todd and the admin staff are the best of the best and truly love and care for all of their students!! The teachers my daughter has had are all great at communication and holding the students accountable which I enjoy. They do a great job getting the students ready for the next level. I highly recommend this school and have thoroughly enjoyed my daughter’s time here. Great community involvement as well!
