Haltom High School

I would have to say that this school is beyond ridiculous. The teachers give no effort to helping a student really understand the problems they are trying to teach. I even had a teacher who would constantly call me seizure girl, instead of my name. When I finally had enough of it, the teacher was eventually suspended from teaching, but it took constant complaints form myself, classmates, and my grandma for them to do something. I even got suspended on the day of finals because of not having my id presented proplerly. I would say that is just plain madness! Haltom faculty really needs to have a sevre reality check!

As a former graduate of Haltom High I must say I am very grateful for my academic experience as well as my interactions with teachers, counselors and deans. Having transferred from the Fort Worth ISD to Haltom enabled me to see the stark contrast in they way both ISD's are managed. Haltom High School offers a much broader variety of scholastic and extra curricular programs. The teachers are genuinely concerned in making an impact on their students. When I am asked about favorite teachers, I can definitely name several at Haltom High.

With an outstanding Fine Arts program and plentiful extracurricular opportunities, this is a good choice.

Great location and lots of great programs for the students. Large student parking and the counselors are awesome. It is newly rennovated and has a great football team. I didn't give it 5 stars because there is no swimming pool. Other than that my children's overall experience was great.

I attended Haltom High School and would recommend this highschool. The teachers are wonderful and are very helpful.

this has to be one of the worst schools in the area. we are thought of as such, anyway. the coaches go out of their way to be sure we always do everything to lose; the teachers and staff focus on who has a cell phone or a nose ring instead of academics and they police the place like it is a jail. it is hard to learn whn the students are though of as guilty until proven innocent. I so wish I had chosen a different school and a different district for my daughter....

I have been at Haltom for 3 years and I have to say that as far as administration goes, it keeps getting worse! I love all the teachers and the students but the principals need a severe reality check. They care more about making you jump through hoops than helping you get an education. So far in the last month I have missed 9 class periods because I was in the office for forgetting to put my id back on after athletics and little minor slip-ups like such. Well anyway, the teachers are great! Since I was a freshman the fights have decreased rapidly (makes for a boring school life), and there are no racial/ethnic issues at all. The fine arts and athletics are both great- I have spent years in each! umm the food is horrible! the bathrooms could be cleaner. Could be less rodents. I still love Haltom!

i used to go to Haltom and i have to say it is the worst. the teachers and priciples have to walk around with walkie talkie's and it is only getting worse. the school has good parts in it dont get me wrong... but the school as a whole is terrible. there are way too many fights and too many drop outs! (which haltom hides thier drop out rate)! so long story short... i would not want my kids going there when i get older!

I am so very tired of this school. Some of the teachers don't care wether their students learn or not. A few of the teachers will even cuss in class which is not setting a good example or being a good teacher. The parents have absolutely no say so when their child gets into trouble . These are our kids not the districts . The school has them only for teaching and learing which is an accomplishment it's self
