Crockett Middle School

I really recommend sending your child to universal academy! All the staff and facility is really kind and nice. The students their are amazing and the classes there are spectacular! Especially the high school courses. Amazing dual credit classes for free. My kids there really enjoy it.

Al principio cuando me mude a Irving esta era una de las escuelas con un alto puntaje 8/10, pero debo decir que bajo significativamente y eso por lo que veo se refleja tanto en el puntaje como en la educacion de mi hijo, le fue pesimo en el examen STAAR de matematicas y regular en el de lenguaje, ni una sola vez me contacto la maestra para decir si mi hijo le estaba yendo mal o ella no veia los resultados esperados, tienen todo un año escolar para notar si los niños les va bien o no en clases, no les envian algun tipo de actividad a casa para que practiquen ni nada, estoy sumamente decepcionada y me parece que todo esto tambien se debe con el cambio de directora. Tambien se noto un cambio en la participacion tanto del staff como de los padres, no se nos incorporo como el año pasado a actividades y me parece sumamente triste. Espero de verdad que este año todo mejore, sino sera el ultimo año de mi hijo en esa escuela.

I would not recommend this school based on my experience. My child experienced repeated incidents with other students, and despite reporting concerns, the issue was not resolved nor was there communication. Academically, I also felt there was a lack of support in learning and there was limited communication or intervention to help improve her performance.Every child deserves to feel safe and supported in their learning, and unfortunately that was not our experience.

This school only caters to the Hispanic/Latin origin. Other ethnic backgrounds are made to feel unwelcomed by staff, administrators, and even students. I’ve addressed my concerns of targeted discrimination and harassment but my concerns fall on deaf ears.

I am writing to express my deep disappointment regarding how this school addresses the issues of bullying and student misconduct. My children have encountered instances of physical aggression, including being hit, pushed, and bullied. In a particularly distressing incident, one student compelled my daughter to pick up his spit with her bare hands, while another child issued a threat to her life. I have communicated these concerns to the school counselors; however, I have observed that no effective action has been taken to resolve these matters. The response I have received indicates that the school prioritizes support for programs catering to children with disabilities and behavioral challenges, yet this should not overlook the need for a safe and respectful environment for all students.
