Bellaire High School

My kid went there and they got bullied

Both of my children have gone all the way through Condit. We have a child who is graduating 5th grade this year and are so sad to leave. Condit has caring teachers and a very engaged and wonderful principal. We have been so happy there and will miss it greatly!

This school is just okay. The student population is diverse and that's what I absolutely love about Herod. On the other hand, communication from the school leadership has been non existent .The previous principal named Ms .Colion wasn't great, but she did communicate via phone, in person or email.She was also present before and after school.She assisted with student arrival & dismissal. She made herself available to parents eventhough she wasn't always 100% truthful.The new principle Ms Berry, doesn't communicate at all with me. Its been weeks and she hasn't responded to my emails . Also the school doesn't open on time. School is suppose to open at 7am. How can they ask students to be on time, but the staff isn't on time to open the doors for all of the students waiting outside. In my opinion the school has not been the same since Mr. Paulus left. He was always available to respond to concerns and needs of parents.I feel they rushed to get a new principle instead of taking their time to find a great principle that the school deserve.

Fantastic school number one in Houston and Bellaire

We used to love this school but the culture has drastically changed for the worse. Many teachers and both principals are extremely unkind and harsh with the kiddos, with admin not seeming to care since they have been at the school so long. We along with other parents constantly hear stories from our kids and their friends about extremely unkind behavior coming from the staff...so much that we question why we pay for private school when the staff does not seem to show or even care about leading by example with Christ-like character. There's also been so much student turnover as well as teacher turnover since we've been here. It's almost like many of the staff lost "why" they even decided to work at a Christian school - it's been very disheartening considering our children love their friends. Now we are looking elsewhere for a school that truly shows God's love, humility and grace to the students. We should have researched further as Veritas has never been recommended in parent groups and wasn't even recommended when we initially enrolled. Definitely do not recommend this place when talking to other families.
