The principals are ridiculous and rude. They don't seem care as much to help children succeed as they do to nit pick and tear down in vengeance. They attempt to threaten parents instead of trying to work with them to fix issues with their students. There are a few teachers and guidance counselors that actually do care, but their hands are tied with helping much.

Hutch Middle School is a wonderful school. My son feels safe, challenged and supported. The academics, leadership and extra-curricular activities are all excellent!

My son went to this school for five years, from preK through third grade. In the first couple of years, he was in special education due to speech delay. I must say that dealing with the principal was very unpleasant. I remember one time I went to a school party where the parents needed badges, and found my son was screaming and screaming in the principal’s office. He had been sent there because he didn’t finish an assignment, and he had gone hysterical because he wouldn’t be allowed to go to the school party. Once I got my visitor sticker, which took a long time waiting in line, I went in there and helped him finish the work. It took two minutes. I can’t believe the principal just left him there screaming all alone. There were many other minor incidents that struck me as uncaring on the part of the teachers and the staff. I am not from Texas so perhaps these sorts of things seems strange only to me. One teacher kept repeating to my son that he “must obey.” I was confused — was that teaching or obedience training? Another teacher did not send him to the nurse after he got kicked in the hand during recess. He cried all day and complained of pain. When I picked him up, the hand was all swollen, and we went directly to the doctor’s office. Luckily, nothing was broken, but his hand got bandaged for a couple of days. Two teachers at this school made grammatical and spelling errors in emails or homework assignments/feedback. The breaking point for me was the spring semester of COVID, when I saw that many of the assignments during “virtual” school were of surprisingly low quality. Math homework contained errors. Word problems were ambiguously worded and could be interpreted in more than one way. After that experience, I signed up my son for an online private school in a West Coast state. He is much happier now. This school seems to have much better lessons, assignments, and overall curriculum. I am glad I will never again have to talk to the principal of Roscoe Wilson.
