San Jacinto J High School

Teachers here are the biggest bullies but want to enforce a bullying policy. Principal is a joke. No point in searching for a resoultion, principal always defenses teachers behavior. Most teachers aren't credentialed and it shows.

This school excludes parents, teachers are lacking, my child HATES this school.

The only school where my child actually learned something!!!

AMAZING SCHOOL great staff, clean, above and beyond amazing!

We enrolled our child at Midland Montessori School, with high expectations, but our experience was deeply concerning. While the teachers and staff genuinely seem focused on helping kids, the reality of the classroom environment was far from ideal.One of the most concerning issues is the high student-to-teacher ratio. In several instances, classes have over 30 students per teacher, which is alarmingly high for the quality of attention and return on investment you expect from a private school. Of course, this is only revealed after you sign on the contract dotted line. The school does an excellent job of locking parents into set terms, but there is a dearth of ambiguity concerning class sizes and teacher qualifications. This lack of transparency is unacceptable, especially when parents are making significant financial and educational investments.Again, to make matters worse, many of the teachers are underqualified, and the support staff also lacks the necessary credentials. This combination makes it dubious to even consider this a private school, given the lack of individual attention and quality instruction. In some ways it's easy to blow this off as part of what you get for living in Midland, TX, but it shouldn't be the gotcha surprise you receive after enrolling your child.Moreover, the school's treatment of minority families is particularly poor. Initially, the staff is enthusiastic and welcoming, seemingly excited to have your child enroll. However, once you're in the door and the tuition is paid, the attitude shifts dramatically. You begin to see subtle looks, acts of microaggression, and straight discriminatory and marginalization acts. For example, the teacher and support staff asking, "Where are you from? And what language do you speak at home?" Even after stating to the teacher and support staff that you're from a different city in Texas, and that you only speak English to your kids. It's clear to understand that with this culture, the school becomes unsupportive, and there is a clear sense from many, including and most importantly Mrs. Luke, that non-white minority families are looked down upon. Concerns about your child's education are dismissed, one-on-one support is not provided, and even basic social etiquette seems to be disregarded.Don't get suckered in like we were, do your research before making an important mistake that your child will end up paying.
