GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have been going to Houston for 8 years and I have not seen our athletes program be amazing it has been decent and I think it's because of parent involvement and student dedication. The freshman this tear really understand the work starts now not something I was taught in my younger grades and I'm glad that I have really pushed it on the freshman because I think it will build a winning culture.

The school always seemed welcoming. There was always someone you could talk to. There were a few things that could have been better.

Houston was a pretty good experience over all. I would change the diversity if that was at all possible just to mix up the type of people you meet. I would keep the college readiness the same because they prepared me so well for college.

This school has great small town charm where no child is overlooked or does without. The faculty actually care for the children and they just are not numbers in a class room.
