This school is excellent shout out to Aidan Javier Rodriguez and Julian Adrian Delacruz. They helped me when times got tough and stuck by my side the whole time and understood me. Overall I would say this school is amazing and the teachers are kind too.

This school is by far the absolute worst school in HCISD. The administration constantly ignores serious issues, especially when it comes to bullying, disrespect, and the treatment of students. Instead of creating a safe and supportive environment where children can learn and feel comfortable, this school allows harmful behavior to continue without proper consequences. It is extremely disappointing and upsetting as a parent to see how students are treated by the very people who are supposed to protect and guide them.One of the biggest issues is the behavior of the assistant principals. Rather than handling situations professionally and respectfully, they often come across as rude and dismissive. My child brought her headphones to school, and instead of calmly explaining the rules, the assistant principal took them from her and refused to return them appropriately. The situation was handled in such an unprofessional way that it felt more like stealing than enforcing school policy. On top of that, my child was yelled at and humiliated instead of being treated with basic respect.The bullying problem at this school is also out of control. Students are allowed to harass, pick on, and mistreat others while the administration either ignores it or does very little to stop it. Children should never have to feel unsafe or unsupported while attending school, yet that is exactly what many students experience daily. It is heartbreaking to know that students who are struggling or being bullied often feel like nobody in charge cares enough to help them or listen to their concerns.What makes the situation even worse is the inappropriate way some staff members speak about students, especially young girls. One assistant principal has made comments saying that girls are “too distracting” for the boys. Statements like this are completely unacceptable because they place blame on young girls for the behavior of others instead of teaching boys accountability and respect. No child should ever feel sexualized, judged, embarrassed, or shamed by an adult at school. Staff members are supposed to encourage confidence, safety, kindness, and equality among students, not make comments that make children uncomfortable or singled out.Overall, this school has failed many students and parents through poor leadership, lack of accountability, and disrespectful behavior. Schools should be places where students feel encouraged, safe, supported, but this school does the exact opposite.!!!

My experience at this school has been amazing, from the teachers to administrators to even the janitorial staff. The teachers are passionate and glad to help students with whatever they need, and although the student body isn't large, it's very close. You can meet a lot of good people here. Finally, they are going to open a new facility next year which will enhance the student experience.
