I agree with comment posted above. Absolutely NO learning can take place because of the disrespect and constant behavior problems. There is no structure, students have overtaken the school. Why, you ask? Because the principal, Marie Moreno enables students to do as they want with no repercussion of their behavior. If a student causes physical injury to another classmate and cusses them out in the middle of instruction, they are sent to the office and both students return a short time later, LAUGHING!! How can learning take place when students constantly disrupt the learning environment. The best thing that could happen is that the school gets shutdown. HISD is wasting its money with everyday this school remains open. Mr. Foust and MORENO time to WAKE UP!!!! It's not the teachers and their instruction it's the horrible students that have taken over!! Teachers are outraged and are MISERABLE!!!!!

Worst school ever!!!!!! Teachers are overwhelmed...school (if thats what you want to call it) cannot accomodate soo many students. 30 plus per classroom (twmporary building).Principal only cares about publlicity and media . Says 32 different countrys, but 99 percent from central america and spanish speaking. Very dirty envirionment. Students are wild and out of control. Department of health should inspect. I would give no stars, expect for the fact that i know there are some really good hard working teachers. No idea how hisd allows this school to remain open.
