Hilliard Rd
Temple, TX

My experience at this school was mostly negative. A lot of the teachers seemed burnt out and uninterested in teaching, which made learning harder. Most students clearly hated being there, and the overall atmosphere felt very unmotivating. The staff, especially in the mornings and in the front office, were often rude and unapproachable. It also takes an unreasonable amount of time just to get into the school, which causes many students to be late or miss their first or even second period. I rarely had teachers who actually taught the material, instead, many would just hand out packets and tell us to figure it out on our own. On top of that, the principal frequently interrupts classes with announcements that disrupt learning, usually just to express disappointment or make unnecessary comments or jokes. There are a lot of issues overall, but most of them come from problems within the district.

We moved to Killeen a year ago. Iduma is located in a friendly community with walkable streets. The teachers are nice and welcoming. I was a parent volunteer for about half of the year. From the teachers to the janitors and the lunch staff, there is always someone there happy and willing to help. Two of my kids have ADHD. At Iduma they were able to get the help they needed to excel. They absolutely adore this school and so do I.
