This school shows such blatant favoritism to it's highschoolers it's not even funny. During my years there, activities and privileges given to middles schoolers were stripped away and given to the highschoolers. Field trips, eating in the courtyards, specific college tours, etc. The pep-rallies that used to celebrate everyone slowly begun to favor the highschoolers instead. Moving on, the principal would sometimes goes on power trips and remove anything fun/rewarding if she got mad over tests scores.

This wouldn't be an issue if the teachers actually taught. In my years there, only few teachers actually taught properly and showed passion in what they did. The rest were overworked, soulless, and sometimes even didn't know how to do their job. And don't bother reporting them; the admin will literally look at your complaint and ignore it. The only time they actually do anything is when you threaten to leave the school. Only then will they beg and plead for you to stay like a jealous ex.

This school prioritizes their image over anything else. They lure you in by painting themselves as this amazing, problem-free school. However, this is far from the truth. While the curriculum is advanced, the support for students is horrible. It doesn't matter if you're being harassed, bullied, or you're struggling in general, you're not gonna receive any help from admin. The vice-principal will give you a PR approved sounding response, "Oh I'm sorry but there is nothing we can do about this", and send you to the passive aggressive counselor who will not help in the slightest.

But, out of all the middle schools in Aldine, I wouldn't blame you for coming to this school. Even through my growing annoyance and distain for this school, I had some pretty good experiences and made some really good friends. My friends made waking up everyday worth it. And, if you can balance the work load, this school will be an okay experience overall (like any other middle school tbh). And most teachers are tired of their job and are pretty lenient with work, so just send them a polite email if you need help with classwork. Since this is an all girls-school it's definitely more open minded regarding identity and LGBTQ areas, between students, if that's important for you.

I would recommend this school if you just want to avoid the other middle schools and you want more advanced classes. If you're stuck going to this school, find a solid friend group and just make the most out of it.

Goodluck <3

"I cannot recommend this school. I have been bullied repeatedly, and despite multiple emails to the administration, there has been zero effective intervention. The teachers seem overwhelmed, resulting in very little individual support, and the communication regarding academic progress is nonexistent. The school feels disorganized and that is a major concern. I am actively looking for a new school."

This schools could care less about the kids, they only care about their image and looking good. They don't provide any emotional support whatsoever. They push the idea that that small children should be preparing for college, which they should not be worrying about at their age. The teachers give out a big work load that they expect students to finish in small time, the only thing that's relevant to these people is work, looking good, and college. Don't go here, your kids can excel without them.

This school needs a new principle! They don't care about students nor teachers! They only care about their image and not the kids nor teachers mental health! Various students who left this school have to be in therapy because they failed to protect them including teachers that left this school too! At the end of the day our children are smart and don't need this school. They will excel wherever they go! Avoid this toxic school!
