Senior: I love this high school. At first I was extremely nervous to begin my high school chapter. But the teachers are EXTREMELY loving and comforting. They are always there for you if you have any type of questions. You will get the best job, after graduation if you put the work in. Recommend 10/10!...Read 89 Reviews

Mandarin Chinese Language Immersion Magnet School

• Houston Independent School District, TX•
• PK, K-8

  Rating 3 out of 5  4 reviews

Parent: The majority of the teachers at MIMS are very hard working and dedicated. You see them leaving the school late at night and showing up to volunteer at school events during their time off. A lot of families who value education tend to be drawn to MIMS too. You often see these same families taking extra tutoring outside of school. The children of these families will do well no matter what school they attend. It just so happens that they see MIMS as a rare opportunity to learn Mandarin which is one of the most in demand and most difficult language in the world. It is the only K-8 mandarin immersion program in the entire state. While there are improvements that could be made, MIMS still remains as one of the better schools in HISD in terms of community/culture/and yes, academics. You're not going to see gang violence/drugs/alcohol/vaping at this school like you would at others. The kids here are pretty sheltered...Read 4 Reviews

  Rating 4.6 out of 5  5 reviews

Alum: I loved my tenure at POMS. It was the best middle school experience I could have ever gotten. As a middle schooler, I transferred in the seventh grade, and boy did I think it was gonna be rough. However, being the amazing support system that POMS has, I was able to make friends and feel liked instantly, not only did students respect me, but faculty was increasingly accommodating as well. They made me feel like I belonged, something a kid who's still trying to find their place in the world needs. If I could go back, I definitely would, and if I had the chance to recommend anyone to go, I definitely would...Read 5 Reviews

  Rating 3.92 out of 5  91 reviews

Senior: Originally, I was skeptical about going here and after being here for all of my 6-12 school years, I was ready to go somewhere else for high school. Looking back, I wouldn't leave after 8th grade if I was given the chance. I liked the small environment because it made it easier to interact with the teachers or get help if you need it. There is definitely a sisterhood among the students here and we tend to bond with each other because of our similar experiences. One thing I would change about the school is sports. Since we are a small school, there aren't that many opportunities to participate in a variety of sports which is understandable. However, I would add more sports so that students are able to show school pride through participation, mainly for highschool. Overall, I think this is a good school and I would attend again. From my personal experience, I would choose to go to a different middle school and attend YWCPA for high school. Also, they have great opportunities for STEM!...Read 91 Reviews

  Rating 3.82 out of 5  11 reviews

Alum: The community is small and everyone knows each other. The environment can be competitive but everyone is very supportive and helpful. Since everyone has the same teachers (in a grade), it's easy to find help. The teachers care about all the students. Some teachers just give assignments and don't know how to control their students. Other teachers are the best teachers you will ever have. The classes are like a discussion and are very fun. The amount of homework is mediocre compared to high school. The school does teach a lot of stuff that prepares you for Pre-AP/ AP courses. I really miss school and the small community. Some people are the nicest people you have ever met. Hope you get in and appreciate every moment of attending this school!...Read 11 Reviews
