i just graduated from jordan high. i wounldn't recommend anybody to go to this school. i graduated in the top 30% of my class because of one teacher. the school really needs alot of changes the principle has no idea what shes doing the teachers have just givin up on the stuents. majority of the classes aren't runned by the teacher the students run the classes because the teachers don't know how to teach bad children, the children don't respect anyone there so if you are a parent don't send your child to that school

I have read the reviews of BJ and can honestly say that I can do nothing but agree that this school has dramatically changed within a short time. Most teachers are not properly organized to provide a curriculum to the students that will really teaches them instead of just preparing for TAKS. As a sophomore here at BJ I experienced first hand of how difficult it is for me to learn the subjects in which the last 2 to 3 weeks at the end of every six weeks we go over nothing but TAKS subjects.

I am now a senior at Barbara Jordan and I still feel like it's the best school in H.I.S.D. Changes need to be made for as the extra cirruclar activities and maybe now even the security. The level of parent involvement is poor but that's no one fault but the parent's. If the student's really want things to change that should get there parents involved. Talented 07' Senior
