Alvin High School is not safe. It values the reputation of it employees over the safety, health, and well being of its students, especially if they are female. Please reconsider sending your children to this school. They will lie, shame, and blame you if something happens to your child on their campus. As a former student I can tell you first hand that this is NOT a place you want to send your children.

I had 2 children go to this school and the last year they attended was the worst. The teachers at recess do not watch your children at all but sit in a group and gossip. Their only attention is on each other.Both of my children got hurt with head injuries at recess (different times of the year). No teacher or adult saw what happened each time of course. The 1st grader's teacher would not let him see the nurse after his injury, saying he just went to the bathroom 10 minutes ago and must go to class instead.Later in the school year, the principle Dee Dee Baker, punished my 1st grader by having him clean 5 toilets under the janitor's supervision. He said the janitor wasn't mean or anything, she just made him clean the inside bowls and into the bottom where the pipes connect. He moped the floor following the toilets.We took that incident to the superintendent, where nothing happened but an apology from the principle. Following the apology she told us that she would punish any child again by having them clean toilets.Maybe I am too guarded as a parent, but I don't remember using chemicals and cleaning toilets until I was at least 12 years old. Just my opinion.

When I was in harby junior high the young kids would swear and say inappropriate words and slow down the class and the teachers would do as little as possible to punish them and when I accidentally said a barely a swear word and I was punished more than the other kids who said a lot more bad things and were a lot more disruptive. All the kids in harby were bad kids they were rude, disruptive and when a fight broke out they all went crazy and supported the fight happening between students and I felt like the teachers didn't care enough to do there job as peacekeepers. There are many other instances of kids being problematic and teachers not putting there all. I would suggest not having your kids go to harby junior high.
