My years at Houston High School were ones I will never forget. I am going into my senior year and I have been at Houston since kindergarten. The teachers at Houston are very helpful and always doing what is best for their students. Education is held at a high standard and each student gets the attention and learning they need. There are also many activities that occur at Houston, however, I feel that as kids get older the less activities there are to do at the school. I also wish Houston had a football team because that would earn our school extra money, and bring the community together through games and more. These, however, are minor things and do not change the overall picture of the school. Houston High School has put me on a good path for the future and they are always thinking about what is best for the community and the students which makes it an amazing school for all ages.
The school always seemed welcoming. There was always someone you could talk to. There were a few things that could have been better.
Houston was a pretty good experience over all. I would change the diversity if that was at all possible just to mix up the type of people you meet. I would keep the college readiness the same because they prepared me so well for college.
The school fits the culture of the community, but does not support students that are pursuing college degrees. The other students I met freshman year of college were so much better prepared than I was. They had more classes offered, technologies they had used, clubs to be involved with, diverse student bodies, etc.
The teachers are pretty good, and there is decent elective variety. The best thing about it is that it is very safe and there are little to no fights.
It's pretty good. Most of the teachers are qualified and care about their students. The English curriculum is especially rigorous .
I just am in band, so it's pretty good
Houston High School has gave me the education and tools I need for life after high school. With the small classes you get all the one on one attention from every teacher if you need it. You get to know all your teachers on a personal level, and it makes learning enjoyable.
Before I got to high school I wanted nothing more than to make great high school memories with great friends. At Houston, you aren't going to make those "great" memories, so you shouldn't set your standards too high. This school is unique because it's so small it's like unbelievable to most people. Also, it is very far out into the country and is surrounded by cornfields, so you could say It's kind of plentiful in beautiful nature. If I could choose to do it all over again, I definitely would have chosen to go to a bigger, more educated school system because even though I was able to get all of my class credits and have a variety of things to choose from, going to Houston High School did not AT ALL prepare me for college.
I left this school with a decent knowledge of what to expect in the college realm.
This school does not give us many options when it comes to food. There is rarely good-quality healthy food, and it is also expensive for the quality of the food. This is the reason that most students pack their lunch on a daily basis.
We have a pretty basic array of clubs and organizations available. A lot of people sign up, but it always ends up being the same three people that push most clubs to do their activities.
The teachers at this school are all qualified, and take their jobs seriously. We have a basic curriculum, and I wish our school had more to offer at times. I think our workload is rather small compared to surrounding schools, and could be a lot worse. Any teacher here will tell you they can stay after school or come in early in the morning to help you if you need it.
There is not much diversity which can be overwhelming once you experience it in college. However the majority of everyone is very accepting and gets along.
I wouldn't trade going to Houston for anything in the world. I was able to have great relationships with students, teachers, and staff.
If you work hard you should have no problem obtaining good grades.
The dress code is intended to be very strict, but only some faculty actually enforce it all the time. For the most part everyone gets along and there are really no major issues. It is a small school so all students are aware of all the faculty and know of them.
