Nimitz High School

Posted: July 1, 2020

Despite Nimitz always having a bad reputation, it actually helps a lot of students when it comes to their future goals. I graduated from Nimitz in 2019 as a cum laude student. If it wasn't for them and their dual credit program, I would have never gotten into Texas A&M. Throughout my time here, the school improved a lot. Academically, it could improve a little more, but when I was there, the students always achieved wonderful things. As a public school, you may think here are fights everyday, but I only heard of about two in the four years I was there. They also do not implement the collar shirts since the district decided to remove that policy. I did not LOVE this school, but I am forever grateful for the opportunities it gave me.

The teachers pride themselves on providing exellent opportunities for stretching the learning outside of the classroom each day.

The campus is the top rated traditional high school in the Aldine ISD for 2018-2019 campus school year after losing 23 instructional positions due to budget cuts.

The campus is now widely known throughout the state and the country for its achievements in athletics, academics, and clubs from competitions.

The leadership has created an amazing culture of learning that has reduced on campus incidents over 60% over the last 4 years.

The campus holds enrichment courses throughout the day and host after school tutorials daily to help support the diverse needs of its students.

The campus has little to no bullying incidents throughout the course of the year. Far less than the neighboring high school in the area and across Houston.

This campus has really turned around under the new direction and leadership of the administrative team over the past 4 years. The campus leadership is the reason that the school has gone from WORST to FIRST. Nimitz High School students and staff should be proud at the fact that Nimitz is the Highest ranking traditional high school in Aldine ISD.
The students are learning more and more each year, receiving full-ride scholarships to the campuses of their choosing and are prepared to take their life and career to the next level. It is a campus rich in culture and there is no reason why the students should not feel like the best in the nation.

The school needs to stop with the ridiculous collar shirt dress code; it's not a private school! It's a PUBLIC SCHOOL. The collar shirt dress code, does not put a stop to inappropriate attires of some girls. I see short dresses, crop tops, low cut tees on girls! WITHOUT COLLARS, but they still go a whole day without being put in "SAC". But honestly the whole dress code thing does not help improve grades, so why in force it to the school. Also, the staff who are "in charge" (I put quotation marks, because like I said I see many out of dress code students) need to be more focus on the outside of the school, during working school hours, because many students skip and go to LoneStar or outside in the forest; by the staff keeping the students in class instead of skipping to the outside, grades will most likeky improve.

The school offers a lot of dual credit and there is a diverse campus of great teachers who work diligently, creatively, and compassionately at what they do. Students that take advantage of what is offered will go far in college and their career choices.

I recently graduated from Nimitz High School as part of the Class of 2013. As a former student I have to say that the school shouldn't be blamed for its bad reputation. Though many parents might not want to here it, the fault lies with them and their out of control children. I was at the top of my class and had many of the faculty members help me through high school. I actually tried to do well and as a result, I start college at UT Austin in the fall. I can honestly say that without the encouragement from the teachers and counselors at Nimitz High School, I never would've made it through school.

Nimitz is HORRIBLE! Every day after breakfast there is trash everywhere. The teachers are horrible and hardly ever teach. The students dress like prostitutes and the administration say absolutely nothing at all. They don t care what you do especially if your parents come up to the school and get ghetto. There is a fight almost every day and it is just atrocious! I live in the Woodcreek neighborhood next to the school and from that you would think the school would be a nice school seeing as how the neighborhood is so nice and quiet a good suburban area then you go to the school and realize that it is the exact opposite. They have over 100 buses at the school because they bring students from all over and dump them at one school. I ve been told that Nimitz was amazing at one time until 2009 when it went downhill and unfortunately I am a part of that horrible class of 2013. A word of advice: DO NOT send your children there. Do not even take a second look at Aldine ISD because it will turn your sweet children into MONSTERS! It s sad but true. Find a new school, because the administration is just as bad if not worse than the students. I put one star but it should be none.

As its been stated before Nimitz is a school with a vast majority of students whom don't care about recieving an education. The teachers give you the basic knowledge you need to perform outstanding on Benchmark Exams. My suggestion is if you want to feel like your attending a good school try some AP courses which will change your outlook on things.
