Freshman: I really liked attending Central Junior High school. It was always held to a better standard (in my opinion) than other schools in HEB ISD. There are great opportunities that come from taking exclusive, higher level courses at Central. Overall, my education at Central Jr. High pushed me to become a better student.... Read 13 reviews

Senior: During my time in this school, I got the chance to meet people coming from different backgrounds. Diversity was one of the things that caught my attention in this school and I love interacting with other people who are different from me. It made me more open-minded and educated on the different races, religions, perspectives, etc... I developed respect for my friends and classmates in my school. When it came to my classes, I had the opportunity to take classes that would help me in colleges such as dual credit and AP classes. I also took career-related classes which helped me have an idea of what I want to do after graduating high school. I'm glad that I am in this school because I was able to show people who I am as well as learn from others. I will be sad when I graduate from this school this year because of all the relationships I created with students and teachers, but at the same time, I am looking forward to starting my career and a new chapter in my life....

Freshman: Overall, I have enjoyed my last 2.5 years at Harwood Junior High! Most of the teachers strive to help each student reach its ultimate potential. The math department is by far the best! They are very encouraging and will help students to the best of their ability until they understand the concept. However, I believe the English department needs to improve their essay teaching techniques.... Read 2 reviews

Junior: In my opinion, T.A. Howard Middle School was great overall. I truly believe the level of Pre-AP academics prepared me for high school. However, the one thing T.A. Howard should avoid in the future is the lack of college readiness. There was one class in particular that is supposed to help students figure out where they wanted to go, and that class didn’t help me (or anyone I know) at all.... Read 6 reviews

Senior: The teachers at Harmony really show that they value the students and their students' education, not just their own paychecks. They care about a lot about the students and build connections as well as trust with many if not all of their students. I have loved almost all of my teachers so far and I feel that not only myself but many other students trust these teachers with things that we don't trust many other people with. They are not only educators but they are life coaches, friends, and practically parents. The only problem is the lack of control that the students show in the day to day. Some of the students here lack self control and do not listen well to authority, so it is a bit frustrating to see the teachers constantly trying to reel the class back in because someone was goofing off again....

Alum: At Barnett Junior High School, I loved the connection the students had with their teachers. Teachers had a genuine care for the success of their students. However, although Barnett had opportunities, I wished they had more to offer to their students. It would have definitely benefited their students and set them up for success in their future....

Junior: Ousley is a place of love and respect for every individual, being it a student, parent or teacher. My experience there was fantastic and I had a chance to interact with many teachers than I would normally. I appreciate and love every activities like parent picnic and our big celebration where there's lots of my favorite foods and also we play fun board games although I'm terrible. But still we socialize with the teachers and play water balloons and we all end the day full and wet... Read 3 reviews

Senior: Middle school is that weird transitional age where you’re trying to figure yourself out. Everybody goes through this stage, but the teachers at Fossil Hill Middle School really helped me throughout my journey. The teachers really were passionate about the subjects they taught, they were actively engaged in their students lives. I love middle school. I say love instead of loved because I still reminisce on middle school. The teacher who really pushed me to do best were my Avid Teachers Mrs. Harvath and Mr. Burleson. I had them 7th and 8th grade and whenever I started to act out they never ridiculed me, they talked to me and set me back on track. Without their love and understanding I wouldn’t have made it through middle school.... Read 7 reviews

Freshman: Highland Middle School is a wonderful school that has an amazing staff , who shaped me into the student I am today. I enjoyed every part of my time at Highland. I especially enjoyed participating in Highland's athletic activities and academic clubs. The coaches were absolutely fantastic and taught me to push myself and trained me, making me the athlete I am today. Highland also offers a variety of academic clubs and activities . I participated in National Junior Honor Society and Whiz Quiz, both of which had great teacher's who led the groups and volunteered extra hours to teach students and encourage students to be a light in their community. Overall Highland Middle School is an outstanding school that i believe has a huge impact on their students in a great way!... Read 6 reviews
