Hubbard Middle School

The problem with this school stems directly from the Founders and the Administration. They have no experience regarding what it takes to run a legal, professional, and compliant Educational Organization. Teachers are hired and fired on a whim, depending what enrollment is, and they never seem to know or care what enrollment projections are. Staff readily admit that the working environment and culture is toxic. Contracted labor and vendors are paid slowly and poorly, if at all, indicating financial instability. Now the TEA is looking into them. Nepotism runs rampant, and they seemingly don't care or realize that you can't employ every one of your family members just to get them on the payroll--qualified or not. Growing quickly without the ability to manage what you have is a common problem, but refusing to LEARN and hire qualified professionals to help maintain compliance and smooth operations either means they don't care or are too proud to admit they are in hot water. This school won't be around in the next 10 years.

From my perspective this school could do better. Without going into detail my experience has been a nightmare and I plan on having them taken out of this school soon as I'm able to. There are reason's why I'm having to finish out this new school year here but I most defiantly plan on leaving. I already have plans lined up. This school has disappointed me time and time again and has failed my child time and time again. Send your kids here at your own risk. I will say not all the teachers are bad but the majority don't seem to care about the students progress and when you turn to counselors, principles and such they seem to be in the woods about everything. Also there has been zero action taken on the bullying situation the bullying at this school with students bullying one another is some next level stuff just crazy. Also this school didn't have a crossing guard till AFTER I threw a fit about it so your welcome.

My daughter was struggling as an incoming Kindergartener last year, without any formal pre-K she started a little behind her classmates. Our amazing Principal and her wonderful teacher Ms. Bruno-Busby got her on track with additional resources to help her succeed! Currently she is thriving in 1st grade & receives one-on-one assistance as well as additional resources outside of the classroom with their reading specialist Mr. Line. I’m blown away by the resources they have in place on this campus to help my girl succeed. Clarkston was the best choice we ever made!

We have 4 kids and have been at Rice for 5 years with 4 more years to go with our youngest! We have had the most amazing teachers each year that have communicated well and worked with our kids to make sure they were understanding what was being taught! The other students are also great! We have been able to make lots of friends at Rice and I’ve been able to meet other parents as well through different school events and activities! We love Rice!

We have loved our time at Andy Woods! The staff is very kind and welcoming, always remembering parents and siblings when we come in. Our daughter’s teachers have been so wonderful!! Only good things to say about this school
