I met so many cool people here for a few months. I never saw these kids again but they were kind and smart. Surround yourself with types of people! This school also has excellent prioritization on education. I’d finish off my high school career here if my parents weren’t legacy freaks. Don’t go to clear brook high school, please go to friendswood! You won’t regret it.

Friendswood Junior High school is a really good school the teachers are nice the substitutes are a little bit just that two of them or respectfully is too old and another is too strict than a usual teacher can be, I'm in band and the teachers are the best Mr.Steinke is the band director in Concert and Synphonic band and he is really cool, funny, positive, and he thought us how to be better at playing, Mr. Hunter is serious and quiet but he sometimes smiles he helps us how to play better too, Mr. Abbott is the one I know the less but he is really sweet and kind, I'm a ESL student so in the class Ms. Anderson help the students with English and thanks to her students who don't have a good knowledge of English can maintain a high grade. The school prepared the students for their future, and this school make my grade be much more higher than any other school that I had been in example mi grade in my old school was like 1400(6th grade) in this school is like 1800(7th grade). Another thing is that I noticed that special students don't have the enough atttention but they do have buses which arrive specially for them.Also you have the opportunity to join National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) which is an organization to help community, like giving clothes to homeless people and you can join science fair I which to but I'm not goin bacause I'm goin to another school faraway from the state and thas the reason for my review to show people how amazing and great this school is and the amount of opportunities you have here in Friendswood Junior High.

While the school does a good job in areas like safety and student support, the policies around family involvement are extremely restrictive and disappointing. Parents and family members are not allowed to attend events such as field day, classroom parties, or even field trips unless they sign up as volunteers and even then, only one parent is permitted.I understand the importance of maintaining a safe environment, but this level of limitation feels excessive and takes away from important family moments. School events are meant to be opportunities for families to engage, support their children, and be part of their experience. Restricting siblings and additional family members from attending makes the environment feel less welcoming and inclusive.This is the first school I’ve encountered with such strict rules regarding family participation, and it significantly impacts the overall sense of community. I hope the administration considers finding a better balance between safety and allowing families to be present and involved in their children’s school life.
