G W Harby J High School

This school is cutting-edge on daily interventions to reach each child. SWAT ( School-wide Action Team ) is a time where students' needs are addressed in small groups, or they have enrichment. Everyone works diligently for student success. Good culture and climate.

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.

The school goes above and beyond for struggling students, providing multiple interventions in general education in subject areas they are having difficulty with. They offer incentives to the students to participate in imagine learning and the teachers are great at communicating and being supportive.

The Pre K program is amazing. My daughter exceeded expectations and standards for Kinder next year. Great Pre K teacher!

We love the staff at Hood Case! The teachers are wonderful and everyone is very welcoming!

This was a terrible school, please, do not put your kids in this school. Only 1 of my teachers actually cared about me. The students are extremely disrespectful, and full of hate.
