Cardiff Junior High School

Poor leadership.... School has been declining the last 5 years... It really took a decline when Ms. Fox left. Teachers don't care... And leadership sits idlely watching the school continue to plummet... Rated a 4 out of 10 is ridiculous WHERE ARE THE LEADERS.... THE PRINCIPAL HAS OBVIOUSLY GIVING UP.

This school is very unorganized and the staff members are rude to the parents.The children feel like some teachers are being mean to them and singling them out because of their own bias and discrimination. The drop off and pick situation is terrible and no organization causing parents to be very frustrated. The staff and crossing guards are Rude as well.

This school does not have a good admin team. They don’t listen to parent concerns about safety. They don’t teach kids properly and let them fail and fall behind and will give you a hard time when you bring it up to their attention. You will end up having to teach your child at home to make sure they are learning appropriate concepts and proper material for their grade level. Don’t enroll your child here it’s a horrible school. PTA also is rude and does not want to spend on school events for the kids and have high school behavior.

Terrible school. I CANNOT wait for my daughter to be out of this school. I just keep telling myself… 1 more month just 1 more.They refuse children bathroom breaks and say it’s only allowed when the whole class goes. My daughter has a doctor’s note on file to not be denied bathroom breaks due to them denying her all last year to the point where I spent $100’s taking her to urgent cares, ER, and to her pediatrician and she was placed on 2-3 different laxatives because she was severely constipated. Also had to get my daughter removed from her homeroom teachers’ classroom because she practically bullied my child and their best solution was we will move her to her switch teachers classroom as her homeroom teacher and then the teacher who bullies will be her switch teacher. Uhhh ok so that fixes what exactly? I yelled at a teacher in the carpool line telling my child and her friend they were holding the line up when really they weren’t because I still had a vehicle in front of me who had not moved so it’s not like I could move my vehicle up. I told the teacher that it was not ok and she told me “ma’am you need to go!” If I had not needed to go back home I would have put my car in park and said now I will hold the line up. This school is terrible. Stay FAR FAR AWAY!!!! The assistant principal who left and went to be a principal at another elementary in the area made that school so much better but when she left this school went downhill. Not only do you not get to have a field day with your child but you don’t get to come to any of the holiday parties or anything for that matter. It’s literally one of the worst schools in KISD. Seriously, move away if you’re zoned here. Believe me, you will thank me later!

If I am being completely honest this school is definitely one of the worst schools. We literally chose to drive 20 minutes to another school than to continue my brother in this one. Let me begin with the education is very behind. My brother went here for one year and was just starting to learn the materials that he had already been through the prior year before in a different school. Second of all, the only thing they worry about is money. Literally every week they send the children with fundraising slips to help earn money rather than giving the child some homework to improve their skills and knowledge. The money didn’t even go towards the school as we never saw any improvements not even to this day 4 years later! That brings me to homework wise. THEY DONT GIVE ANY HOMEWORK what so ever. How am I supposed to know what my brother is learning or needs improvement on. Take it from me choose a different BETTER school.
