The teachers cuss out the students , there are fights multiple times a day between students , the nurse is lacking in true care , also when it comes to the Starr testing they do every year about half of my kids teachers did nothing to help them prepare ...I'm personally praying that the high school is much better if not we will be moving out of this district ! The elementary school in San Leon was great and barber middle school was also great but the junior high is by far the worst environment !

My child's values as far as this particular question goes are great ...however the schools are not when it comes to fairness and honesty ..if you are in sports you get away with murder !

My child has excelled and done very well academically and socially this year. We are very pleased with the amount of extra curricular activities, clubs, and sports that are offered. We also feel that our child is getting a great education, and we appreciate the communication too. We are kept informed with emailed progress reports and access to grades online.

The school is fine but the volleyball coaches pick unfairly because most of the girls on the 7th grade team has played volleyball before and I get that they wanna win but come on now give other girls who haven't a chance

This school is terrible, there is no discipline and teachers do not seem to care about the students. I emailed the teachers multiple times and never got a response. It is close to impossible to set up a parent teacher conference and parents do not get any feedback regarding students performance. My daughter also told me that There is a lot of bullying and fighting going on which disturbs all the good students. I took my daughter out if this school after one year and do not regret it. This school needs some serious reviewing by the education board, do not send your kids there if possible, they will get an awful education and be exposed to too much violence and complete disregard for rules which are not enforced by the completely uncaring staff

This school, in my opinion, is terrible.The teachers were very rude tot he students often bringing up their past test scores when angered. I left after about four or five months to be home-schooled. The environment provided for learning was not productive. Teatchers and students often screamed at each other, I was threatened a few times by gangs. The dress code is as close to a uniform as they can get without paying for students to have actual uniforms. They treat the kids at McAdams like juvenile delinquents. They do not allow the kids outside whatsoever and give them no outlet for their energy. The health class is what I was taught in fifth/ sixth grade. The social studies class was things I had learned in seventh grade. I did not learn anything from this school. I do hope the highschool is better than this school was as it was not a good experience. DO NOT send your children there if you can help it.

This school is horrible and I cannot wait to get my son out of this school. There is no supervision with the number of fights, bullying, etc. I am moving my son out of this horrible public school and into a charter school until I can get him back into Dickinson High School where they appear to control the violence on their campus.
