Rating 3.82 out of 5 1,152 reviews
I would like the teachers who are apart of HISD try to help encourage students and not judge them off their actions. Everyone makes mistakes, However, I believe encouragement and uplifting the students will help them not turn the mistake into a habit. It will end up being a lesson learned.
As a life long HISD student I have seen the rise and downfall of this independent district. The district academic wise is outstanding and superb, I do believe they focus too much on the students work ethic and grades rather than actually pay attention to the students and how the students are doing. The students are packed with loads and loads of work and are sent home stressed to the max!
I would rate the Houston Independent School District a 5 out of 5. I give them this rating because of their involvement with students and teachers. They have suck a great involvement with their students and are able to make learning very engaging and accesible to all students. HISD has allowed students that are lgbtq+ a chance to stand out as well as students of color. They have made videos and posts on social media highlighting schools for their excellent status. Their activities vary and have many programs that can help disabled students and help exert themselves. During the pandemic they have been very clear to stay 6feet apart at all times requiring masks at all times despite the mask mandate being lifted, hand sanitizer all the time as well. They allow for all students to express their culture and who they are. HISD is a very great school district and overall my experience with them had allowed me to express myself. As well as giving me a chance to join programs!
