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.

3 of my 4 children have attended this school with my youngest gets there now. All have been involved in academics, athletics and extracurricular activities. They love the school, and I have could their teachers and coaches/instructors to be very engaged and caring. I have not heard of any bullying from my kids, or any of their friends or those friends’ parents. The administration has always been accessible for any concerns I have ever had regarding my kids’ performance and grades in school. I will honestly be sad, when my youngest graduates at the end of this coming school year, as it’s been a pleasure getting to know the teachers and staff here.

I am disappointed with the school leadership and lots of turnovers from principal to teachers and staff. This is also by far the most terrible school if you have a child that has disability. They offer services for your child based on what’s convenient for them and not what’s best and appropriate for achieving the best learning experience for my child. Some of the teachers are very nice and supportive but my child’s teacher who have a disability do not have compassion and all she did was complain about my child not finishing work, or participating and having behavioral issues. I constantly have to remind her my child is Austistic and that he’s got a lot of behavioral issues and that he needs help and support. She would email me Atleast 3-4 a week and we moved a lot a have another child who have disability and I’ve never gotten so much email about my disabled child not cooperating or having behavioral issues. The school is also overcrowded making it hard for the teachers to actually focus on their students and they constantly have to hire more teachers because there’s just too much kids in this school. Overall not a good experience for us!!! Of all the places we’ve moved and lived this is the worst school for me. My kids doesn’t look forward in going to school everyday.
