My daughter transferred to Tomball High School at her junior year after moving to Texas. She previously attended Hinsdale Central High School Illinois, one of the highest-ranked public high schools in Illinois, where she earned an exceptional 4.2 GPA, the highest GPA scale offered. Her official transcript clearly documented all grades and coursework.Despite this, Tomball High School downgraded her GPA to 3.8 without any clear explanation or justification. We were never provided with a transparent reason for this reduction, even though her academic record was complete and verifiable. This unexplained downgrade was deeply concerning and unfair.In addition, my daughter had already completed Algebra I at Hinsdale Central, yet Tomball High School required her to retake Algebra I, unnecessarily repeating coursework she had already passed. This decision caused a significant academic delay, directly impacting her progress toward college readiness.The GPA downgrade and improper credit transfer negatively affected her college applications and scholarship opportunities. Had her GPA been transferred accurately, she would have been eligible for more competitive colleges and additional scholarships. Years of hard work and dedication were effectively diminished in an instant.This experience was extremely disappointing and frustrating for our family. The lack of transparency, improper evaluation of transcripts, and disregard for prior academic achievements made this one of the worst educational experiences we have encountered. Students transferring from rigorous, high-performing schools deserve fair, accurate, and respectful treatment. Unfortunately, that was not our experience with Tomball High School.

I am the Grandmother of Julio Bernal, and he is always telling me about his coach he calls Master Sarge who is always encouraging, and talking to them about believing in themselves, and to never give up on their self. Julio has applied that to other things that he wants to accomplish, and it is working . I would like to say thank you to Master Sarge for the extra effort he makes to encourage, and inspire his students. He is doing an outstanding job, and deserves recognition.

My daughter thrived at grand oaks. We feel so blessed by her talented teachers and staff.

Great school. Teachers are very supportive. Tomball ISD has been best of best district that we have attended. We have moved from IL one of the best school district and it is very competitive and even more better than they did to my children. My kids have achieved and still growing academically and personally.Thank you Tomball ISD family.
