I wish there were an option for zero stars but I don’t even know if this school deserves that. I’ve raised four kids between the ages of 12 and 30 and this is by landslide the worst ISD any of my children have ever gone to. I thought the elementary was bad, but they should just absolutely close the middle school altogether the principles are corrupt the place is a madhouse, and the bullying is unreal. Not only did the students bully my child, but so did the teachers and the principles. The sad part is, my daughter has learning disabilities and speech issues you would think they would protect her better, but they certainly did not. I had to pull my child out.

I don't recommend your child go to this school. It is getting really crazy and the principles make stuff go away instead of taking action. There had been multiple fights and drug dealers this school year. The teachers aren't all that great. Behind those closed school doors there is stuff that the school has lied about to me as a parent. This is the WORST school my child had ever gone to.

I had to sell my new home in Stone Creek Ranch and pull my child due to teachers not caring, many fights and a very poor academics.

I feel very conflicted about not giving my school five stars. The teachers do an amazing job (and I'm not a classroom teacher), but the kids run amok. There is a lack of discipline from administrators so many kids just do whatever the heck they want. The hallways are free-for-alls. If you put your child in honors classes, and if they are a pretty good kid that does their work, they'll get a great education. If you are raising a slacker, unfortunately they will probably keep slacking because the slackers outnumber the good kids five to one.

Pulled my child from a so called "Christian" private school and placed him here. Love it, great kids, awesome teachers, great extra curriculars. Safest campus in Harris County for 8+ years. If you are involved your child will thrive here.
