Terrell Wells Middle School

This is my first child attending school & truly NOT the best school. Very disappointed that this is the closest school to my area, hadn’t heard anything positive about the school prior to having to let my child attend.Staff could handle situations much better, very FEW staff members/ teachers are actually helpful, many shrug off issues to avoid tending to them. Teachers are in a desperate rush to get rid of students in pick up lines after school conversations are constantly negative about having to deal with the kids, eager to clock out as heard during pick up. Unfortunate in all aspects, could be a much more pleasant learning environment & Overall more helpful to parents when having a concern/question.

THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!Please don't waste your time.

The school is horrible at announcing events with the parents to give us time to be able to either attend or have our children participate in activities. Also from Pre-K3 up to first grade I'm still having issues with my child getting bullied or injured in the classroom and the school seems to cover it up by not telling the parents what actually happened but guess what My child knows how to speak and she's not afraid to tell me when another child hurts her! There's never an update as far as what disciplinary actions are done to the other child that injures on purpose.

I do not recommend Vestal HISD. My son attended 1st grade here, and our experience was extremely disappointing. The district constantly emphasizes the importance of students attending school every day, yet I received phone calls almost daily about my son’s behavior. Instead of working collaboratively to support him, it often felt like they wanted to push him away.We were even told that he shouldn’t attend field trips because of his behavior, which was heartbreaking for him. To make matters worse, on the last day of school, I received a voicemail informing me that my son had to return to his original campus due to behavior issues. Waiting until the very last day to communicate something that significant was incredibly unprofessional.Families deserve a school district that supports children through challenges rather than making them feel unwelcome. If your child needs extra guidance or behavioral support, I encourage you to carefully consider whether this district is the right fit.It’s also concerning that HISD has received very low educational performance ratings, including a score of 1 in the area you’re referring to. Parents should research school performance and consider districts with stronger academic outcomes and better student support systems before enrolling their children.

School is horrible. My son was bullied severely and they looked the other way. When we confronted them they started finding any little thing to get my son in trouble for and constantly called him a liar. They constantly push to have him medicated for the sake of the students and teacher. Deplorable school.

IT WAS VERY DISORGANIZED ! TECAHERS WERE YELLING , THE GRASS WAS OVER GROWEN AND THE PICK UP SYSTEM WAS A NIGHTMARE .
