For a small school, Houston does many things well but falls behind on caring for their students as a whole. The turn around in teachers has made it difficult to build a united community.

Houston High School is a great place to learn. It is very supportive and has small classes sizes. The teachers are great and go out of their way to help the students. Once a Hurricane Always a Hurricane!

There are a few teachers who cannot control the loud kids in the classroom. This causes a lot of students to disrespect the teachers even more. I would say that the quality of my learning is about a 7 of 10. There are times when I am too afraid to ask a question in class because the teacher is known for making kids feel stupid. They do have good consistency in grading, however.

Very Bad school! Bullying is out of hand. Principal will only defend the ones doing the bullying since they are the local kids. If the issue is pushed then 1 kids gets a slap on the hand but then 10 kids retaliate. If at all possable find a different school. Dont subject you children to this school.
