My son has attended this school since Pre-K. Since Superintendent Mike Miles took charge of HISD, the atmosphere at the school has changed completely—and for the worse. He replaced the school leadership; the new principal does not communicate adequately with parents, fails to respond to emails, and has been gradually eliminating all the traditional celebrations and activities that the children have always enjoyed. My son used to take soccer classes there. She cancelled them for the upcoming year without providing a reason. They have always held a Field Day. She cancelled it, claiming it was going to rain, but never rescheduled it. The school has an arts focus, yet she significantly cut down the schedule for the "All Art Day" event, just as she has reduced opportunities for parental engagement within the school. They also used to hold competitions between the school "Houses" (Curiosity, Courage, Integrity, Knowledge, and Creativity). My son told me that they haven't held any games or activities related to the Houses since then. My son is in the GT (Gifted and Talented) program, and the lack of information regarding the GT curriculum is outrageous. The school is no longer welcoming or open to collaboration with parents. Do not enroll your children here. Unfortunately, I will end up transferring my son from this school to a charter school.
