Nova Academy

The place is horrible as far access to your student and the classroom. Both the smaller and up to 6 grade buildings are DILAPIDATED. The church on pleasant is EXTREMELY in need of REBUILD while the school on Bohannon is riddled in mold mildew and an unstable structure. The bathrooms always back up according to my kids and the TAs are EXTREMELY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL . DISRESPECTFUL AND ARE YELLING AT THEM DURING BREAKFAST and no talking at lunch. The classrooms flood. The ceiling caved in on students. It's just not acceptable and the bullying is ignored . Administration is rude the previous attendance women W AS JUST..... UNACCEPTABLE. And no the teachers are not all STATE CERTIFIED.

There staff is very nice and supportive of the parents and students

La escuela de Urban Park es muy buena escuela por las actividades que tiene después de escuela y para los padres tiene las oportunidades de poder aprender clases como inglés y computación y a demás que tiene buena calidad de enseñada y de maestros y además con clases beligues dirigidos por su principal Lisa Falcón y gracias todo el staff de Urban Park para apoyar a la escuela.

My experience at this school was highly unsatisfactory. As a teacher, I witnessed firsthand numerous issues within the school. The school leadership, including the Principal and Assistant Principals, consistently neglected the needs of both teachers and students. Teachers were frequently compelled to cover each other's classrooms to address behavioral problems, diverting valuable teaching time. Moreover, the school failed to prioritize student safety adequately. For instance, during a shootout across the street at the high school, the administration did not initiate a lockdown, despite the shooter being at large in the area. Shockingly, the school administration attempted to conceal their own mistakes and avoid informing parents about incidents involving safety, sexual harassment, or violence. The behavior of the students in all grade levels was appalling, leading to teachers spending more time on discipline than on actual teaching, resulting in an educational disadvantage for the students. If you are considering teaching at this school, I strongly advise against it, as the teachers there universally dislike it. Similarly, if you are contemplating sending your child to this school, I would discourage it. Throughout the school year, several students left unnoticed, walking home in the middle of the day. The class sizes are unreasonably large, preventing students from receiving the attention they deserve. Ultimately, the responsibility for these issues lies with the Principal, Dr. Adreana Davis, as well as DISD and the education system as a whole. While this system appears to perpetuate failure among black and brown students, it is the duty of the leadership to prevent such circumstances, which unfortunately Dr. Davis and her administration fail to support. Many teachers at Guzick are subjected to physical and emotional abuse by students, creating an intolerable environment.
