Personally I've had an alright time at Kempner for the last 3 years. In terms of academics, it really has all that you need to succeed.

My experience at HBMS has been pretty bitter-sweet. Last year I went to f2f during the pandemic and I had an all-around great time. Mostly. Most of my teachers were pretty great and I had classes that were fun and engaging. The only class that was disengaging and disheartening to be in was math. Because of the low student participation I didn’t actually remember anything. There are some adults are very approachable and relatable that you can honestly just talk to, and are very understanding but are still able to keep things under control. One great example is the Kickstart instructor and the campus GT advisory teacher. There are other adults though, who are very frustrating to work with. I was a little tentative of this school at first, but after 6th I was kind of looking forward to the next year. Then the new sixth graders happened. I’m not trying to be offensive, because some 6th graders are pretty solid people, but I honestly don’t know what some of them have come off of. There are incidents of them stealing things, pepper spraying kids, and some teachers who have experienced things that made them want to quit on the spot. It’s not just the students but the way some authorization handles the issues. I personally feel like the punishments ensued aren’t tactical. I understand taking away certain privileges, but when you are still at a place where privileges aren’t fully back a whole semester into the school year, then obviously something isn’t working. But you can’t get strict all of the sudden too. There are many fights in this school, and many accounts that post them. Very recently the school made an announcement that they will begin to deal severely with kids caught in fights, along with the people caught reporting and posting them. Makes sense, right? It gets better. They also asked teachers to report any students who were late to class for them to be sent to the office. That is somewhat reasonable considering you have 5 minute passing periods…except there are teachers who will keep there students 3 or even 5 minutes late without sending them off with a hall pass and students may have to go across the whole school to get to there next classes. One can’t just go from lenient to super strict in a matter of minutes. Student’s find it comical and don’t respect decisions like that. But amongst all the chaos and commotion, there are great relationships to be made and hilarious tales to tell at future work dinners, and that’s what I love about HBMS. :)

Great teacher, friendly atmosphere,great school.Great place for kids to learn.
