I was a student at Alcott Elementary in 1965. I can recall that snow cones were sometimes sold after school. My "Review" is for the school Teachers & Administration from that time.I read the school's ratings, & it's sad, but not a shocker.

Campus neat, clean, smells (fresh) sanitary on the inside. Staff is diligent to ensure a safe/clean campusStrong Male presence really does have a positive impact on male youth students, whereas some may not have A Male Presence at homeOld School presence campus uses "textbooks, pen, pencils and paper" NOT Chromebook all-day, there is a balance TO HELP DEVELOP SOFT SKILLS. STAFF Responds and does not deny when conduct issues, Zero Tolerance, peaceful overall, Parent/Guardians are contacted immediately, and the Social Worker is present to help further if needed, who understands the culture/ dynamics. Discipline issues are addressed in love to see what can be done to correct the behavior.Control over their campus, like any school I am sure there are issues/problems, however they have order and peace (climate) overallStudents are required to walk neatly/orderly in the hallways I commend, Dress Code Principal Williams and her team are doing excellent serving and preparing the next generation, (pride, excellence, character-conduct) in a positive way Students do not need to be bused across town or down the street by ZIP CODE. Students can receive a Quality Education at Attucks right in Sunnyside, The Fact they are not NES says a lot, CAVEAT:  I am not looking down on NES Schools, Attucks  has STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineer, Academic and Math acronyms PROGRAMS extracurricular activities, events and rank 85% in Math Perhaps a Feature Article can be done in the African American Newspapers in Houston, and the churches would engage more. Sunnyside/SouthPark is different, however much good is happening. Gentrification a factor, poverty and other social ills, many are still recovering from Crack that crept into communities (generational cycle) 90's. Let's back up Attucks more,Praying (parents) etc.  PTA/PTO will support all you are doing. The Community must get involved more and put time, money and resources into the school. Hopefully my review will guide strategically on what needs to happen. Let's be like Crispus Attucks and bring a positive revolution back to the community. Attucks is sentimental because I grew up in South Park/Sunnyside. The neighborhood has changed; my mother's uncles attended the school in the 60's. We still have Yearbooks at the Family Home. Students could not be bused across town back in the old days, instead the community ensured the school thrived.   Alumni need to come back up what Crispus Attucks started 

4 years here, can’t name one good thing about this school.
