G W Harby Junior High School

I my self am an employee for Alvin ISD and see the long hours of dedication all the teachers put in for all the kiddos to help each child succeed in life and that is the motivation that keeps me going and continue working no matter how hard my job is I just want to be a part of why each child succeed

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!
