The dresscode is absolutely insane. They want young girls to dress like elderly women. Skirt length is supposed to be to your knees? Cmon now in what world is a teenager even going to own that length of skirt. I wore a skirt with leggings and shorts underneath and they dresscoded me. In all honesty I feel like the dresscode should be revisited & revised to accommodate the newer style of kids these days. This is but only one of many issues Ive faced at this school. Is their education really worth risking your childs mental health? This school is depressing & honestly took the joy out of learning for me. I arrived at school at 9am and they didnt even allow me to go to my first period. Therefore at this school what you wear matters more than your education! Now you see why the test scores are so low and the kids can barely pass their classes. This school doesnt care about your childs education in the slightest. I had to go through four people in staff positions before they could tell me what was exactly wrong with my outfit. That whole ordeal occured from 9am - about 9:45am that time spent worrying about my outfit and running around “just trying to make sure” my outfit that distracts nobody followed dresscode I couldve been in my US History class learning. Sad

Robert E Howard is a great school doing great things for the students they teach. Despite being in a high poverty area, Robert E Howard consistenly has extremely high scores for Algebra, Social Studies, and the Arts. Math and Science scores are on the rise, as a result of new administration within the district.
