I am a parent but am in school for Elem Education. I am interested in student teaching here so I have been starting basic research on the school. I was wondering if anyone can shed light on why they have a 51% suspension rate for students with disabilities.... I find that concerning.

The leadership is awesome and goes beyond the call of duty to support the staff and students. I am a Retired Educator and served as an Interventionist for the Transition Academy at Bethlehem Center.

Lousy school with multiple fights daily. No discipline and teachers are cussed out and have no backup from admin or SRO's. 3rd floor hasn't had working boys bathroom in over 2 months.

Look to the numbers, they show all you need to know.

We were pleased with the Howard and felt strongly that it is one of the better schools in Chattanooga. People like to think of this school as a low poverty school but the amount of income the kids parents have or don't have shouldn't take away from how smart the kids here are and how involved the parents are in the kids education. Don't believe everything you read and hear. Please don't go by all the reviews you see here look at the actual school records for graduation rate, kids going to college and test scores.

I loved Howard. I spent 2 years at the elementary school and 2 years at the high school. when I came into HS in 2005, the school had been completely remodeled, thank god. And yes the kids are rough around the edges, but where they came from was rough as well. You cant be weak minded going to or teaching at this school. You have to have a strong foundation. I had some doubts about going to HS here, but I met so many great people. The wonderful 2 years I spent here cant and will never compare to my last 2 years at Ooltewah High.

I taught at Howard for a couple of years and would have willingly stayed a couple more. It wasn't that I particularly enjoyed teaching there, but I am a highly qualified teacher willing to do whatever it takes to help my kids succeed - something Howard needs. With that said, this school is a TERRIBLE environment for children who wish to learn. No parent that cares about their child should EVER allow him or her to attend this school.
