The teachers are great but some arn't that good at explaining stuff. Just because the test sores are good dosen't mean its a great school. i have been going there three years and the students are selfish and spoiled and unwelcomeing and so are the parents. The school is mostly focsed on spots. The proncipal is great. He tries to be everyone's friend and the students respect him. I just have to tell all the parents before they send their kids there think back to when they were in high school if it was great for you it might not be great for your kids. Those parents that hated high school i am sure its just like that only kids these days are meaner.

so i am now a senior and i am going to a different school i can't stand it at houston. The kids are mean to you unless you are a skinny spoiled little girl. or a rude good for nothing guy. i was never welcome there at all but when i was a freshman alot of the seniors liked me but ever since then nope i had a close little group of friends. Theres to much drama over which girl stole someones boyfriend. Not to be mean but there are a ton of girls at houston that are sluts in every grade it dosent matter how old they are either. Teacher and classes were great. But the vice principal is a jerk thats putting it nicely. I hated it. i'm glad i'm going somewhere else for my senior year. it's not crowded at max 320 kids. Its not that small.

I currently attend this school and admit that it's not perfect. When I was a freshman (I'm a senior now) I took Honors English I and as a sophomore took Honors English II but this school, due to its small population, got such classes cut. Quite a dissapointment. I will say that Houston has an excellent English department with awesome teachers like Mr. and Mrs. Helle. I love how the teachers really do know us by name and personality, not just as another student. And yes, there are problems here, but nothing that isn't normal in a small American high school. We do not have frequent acts of vandalism and are a pretty tight knit group. I've met some of the best and more intelligent people here. One of my friends was offered to attend Yale. Now tell me that we have idiots here at Houston.

and another thing. seeing how there were 300 seniors in that school, the teachers didnt even know eveybodys name because the school was so overcrowded. I came back here to graduate so that when i walked up on that stage to get my diploma everyone would actually knwo who i was.
