I have had three children to attend this school. I will have two more children to attend this school. I believe the teachers in this school are good teachers but overloaded without having the support they need from the principal. I have ben treated with cold indifference when trying to address problems involving my children and bullies, as well as with academic difficulties. Thank God for the teachers and Teacher aides (such as speech and LD) for my children would be left far behind if it was up to this principal. I would like to see the people in this city vote her out. I know the Superintindent here has a drawer full of parent complaints against her. Her tenure should be revoked so that our children will have a chance at a strong academic and socially enlightened start in life.

I think Dr. Patterson is doing a wonderful job at the school and I am thrilled my son attends Houston.

Well let's see. Dr. Patterson has no leadership in this school. And what's worse is the students know it. Their is no discipline in this school. Dr. Patterson does not make parents feel welcome at the school. The teachers are great they do there job but could use a lot of help with the trouble kids from the principle. I would not even send my worst enemies kids to this school.

I used to be a student at this school and it used to be wonderful.now I would recomend that parents who have students should take them out ASAP because the principal is mean and cold and she doesnt handle harrasment the way she should. I have a cousin who is in sixth grade at houston and he is being chased by alot of kids and no one will do anything about it. parents I am only 13 years old and I care. if you have a student at this school take them out! tiffany d. moore
