Revere Middle School

The school has a principal who has very poor leadership qualities and does not need to be in leadership any further. She is not supportive of staff or students and many of the students have bad behaviors at the campus. Poor leadership affects students, staff and parents. She does not listen to much of anything but pretenda to be concerned. Multiple concerns are brought to her attention but she does not address them to get anything accomplished. Such as leaving doors propped open which is a safety concern. Just overall bad energy for the campus and could use a new principal.

I went to (Sneed Elementary school) long time ago , I’m 18 now and I’m just looking back and this school was an amazing school, Honestly there isn’t not 1 reason why you shouldn’t put your child in this school, they do care about their students and the parents feedback, I have hundreds of reasons why I recommend this school but for now just gotta say going to this school is one of if not the best part of my life

We wanted to provide a review for any new family ( not from Houston/ outside Memorial) considering this school for their children, specially for people of colour, or hailing from a different country. Our review is personal to our experience at the school and we appreciate may provide a different viewpoint than held by the majority of white families. We joined the school last year arriving as expats from another English speaking country, our child is brown of Asian heritage, was in third grade and was sadly bullied at the school. We raised a complaint but were told that meanness did not equate to bullying and the school assistant principal offered our son counseling at the school. We then learnt from other families of instances of bullying, specially from those of color, different religion. Some were too afraid to raise this publicly, but spoke of it in private. Many had no option to leave the school. We also had comments which we feel were racist made by a class teacher regarding black students our child was seen playing with being a “bad influence”on our child. This was a tipping point for us. We did not get invited to birthday parties, many families at the neighborhood pool would treat us as “invisible” and look past us. We were told by the school this was “normal”. My son was also bullied to give a gift to two boys “from a respectable” doctor family, who refused to invite him to their birthday thereafter. My younger daughter made only one friend, was questioned about her hair colour, was told to go away from a group of girls playing together and her only friend would never come over for play dates to our home. The school is very focused on testing results and lessons are raced through ending in a test. The GT classes are great but at Bendwood and many children we hear want to drop out of the GT program because of bullying/ rough playing at recess there. The school does little to educate its children to be inclusive, open minded or sympathetic. Foul language and hitting, video gaming, showing off about branded shoes seems to be the ethos here. We tried hard, knocked many doors and spoke to teachers. A few families in the neighborhood cared ( mind you also not native to Memorial) and we are thankful for their kindness. After a year we finally left the school for a private school this academic year. We hope this review sheds a light for anyone similarly placed as us, a professional, educated, brown immigrant family.

This school has completely gone down hill. The teacher turnover rate is awful. Parents are taking their kids out daily. Very sad.

Holy Spirit Episcopal School has truly been a blessing for my son who started there in 6th grade. The school has really helped my son thrive academically, socially and spiritually. The teachers are very dedicated and most of them have been teaching at this school for a long time. We can tell that they love what they do. The teachers and staff communicate well with parents and students. We feel that this school is the best place for our son who enjoys being a "Saint".

Amazing school! This is our first year at Grace and our son loves it. The teachers are caring and loving. The academics are robust and it’s been a positive experience for us so far. We would highly recommend this school to anyone that is looking for smaller classes (14 kids in our son’s class) and a solid foundation for learning. Grace was one of the first STEM certified schools in Texas and their overall approach to learning has been fantastic. Cannot recommend highly enough!
