Energy is just about the best school for engineering! All students learn how to 3D model, use 3D printers and laser cutters, and how to solve engineering, math, science, political, and social problems. Our robotics teams have all the resources they need and often compete in (and win) local, state, and national tournaments! Robotics is also offered as a class, along with Computer Science, SolidWorks, and Video Game Design. The teachers are also the best I've ever had! I'm friends with more teachers here than any other school I've been to prior. This has also opened up many opportunities for me that I wouldn't have been able to access otherwise (such as 3D modeling and 3D printing certifications)! If you're a maker, or want to be, there is no better school than Energy to be help you learn and grow!
I attended energy all four years of high school and as an alum I have a pretty good idea of how my school stands. Energy has massive potential to have an extremely involved student body with a cutting edge learning environment, basically what the administration tries to sell you on. Unfortunately the school is continuously held back by an administration that overworks and bullies its teachers into resignation and that has no desire to improve the school as a whole. The school has amazing facilities with a makerspace and tons of 3d printers across campus to aid in engineering projects but fails to utilize them. The maker space is pretty much just for the frc robotics team because no one on campus knows how to use any of the equipment apart from an engineering teacher or two. In turn resources for students in projects is very limited and the scope is always tuned way down from what it could be. Genuinely the teachers are GOOD but they all leave after 2 years because the admin is bad.
What I like about Energy Institute High School is the academic choices that are available in the STEM field. The school is focused on engineering, with a mandatory engineering class for each school year, and STEM in general. The resources and facilities in the campus alone, which is also fairly new, are very helpful for engineering purposes. Some of the resources include 3D printers, laser cutters, power tools, and lumber, which are usually located all in one space, called the Maker Space. It's location is also somewhat convenient, with it being near the University of Houston and the Metro Rail. The school is lacking in sport activities and resources, like not having a large field to have students participate in athletic activities, although it does have an outdoor basketball court. This lack in sport availability would be because of the school's heavy focus on STEM. Overall, I would recommend this school to any students in Houston that are strongly considering engineering.
