This is the worst school my daughter has ever attended. I spent months trying to get ahold of my daughter's teacher's, the VP and the Principal. Now I found out that they turned me into the court system because their front office neglected to add my daughter's doctor notes into the system when she had her apendectomy. Now I have to go to Humble and pay $200.00 to get this cleared up so my daughter can get her driver's license. It's a good thing I actually kept all of my origionals since 2009 so that I can prove to the court that they were a horrible school. I wonder how many people out there don't keep as good records as I do? I wonder how many people have to pay court fees and fines because of Campbells lazy office staff. By the way, I am a single mom that is disabled and can't drive. So I will have to pay for a wheelchair able cab to take my daughter and I all the way to Humble to fix their mistakes. It is just wrong that they can do this to good people. The school is a total ghetto!!! My daughter was bullied because she is white.

I am a mother who grow up in the CFISD district & went to Arnold middle & Cy-fair high school in this district. I thought living in this district all the school would be good & my daughter would go to a good school but I was wrong. My daughter came from an elementary that had a lot of parent involvement to this school which has very little. Campbell picks & chooses which parents can be involved. They do not let every parent help. The principle says that there is a no tolerance policy, no that's not true the same students have repeated fights in school & only get a slap on the hand. This school compared to other cfisd middle school is considered ghetto. There is a lot of fights & the 6th grade vice principle is a joke. You leave messages & emails for him to contact you, it takes an email or phone call to the principle for you to get an answer. The only thing that I like about this school is with my daughter K level teachers, I can't speak of the regular level teacher.

I Am An Eighth Grade Student Here At Campbell Middle School I Enjoy It Here Very Much. It Has Been Said That Campbell Is Ghetto But It Is Not True Its Just Like Any Other School. The Teachers Here Will Help You In Any Thing You Need. They Are So Helpful. Campbell Is A School With A Variety Of Ethics. I Have Enjoyed My Two Years At Campbell And Enjoying My Third Year.

Helloo, I am a student currently attending Campbell Middle School right now as an eight grader. I've been here since 6-8 grade and been in the Cy-Fair district since Pre-K. Campbell is an average school. I have a brother who went here as well and I've noticed that the years have gotten worse. The programs have gotten worse. And it's not that the faculty and staff are not doing a good job, I think it's the students. If they just put a little effort into what they do, there's no reason for anyone to fail. The teachers here really do care about you and the students. They answer your questions as soon as they can. The band and choir teachers at Campbell are really good. So again, this school has great staff just needs the students efforts to try the best and hardest. :)

My son is a 6th grader at Campbell. He is just loving it. He enjoys all of his classes. I recieve immediate responses from his teachers whenever I have any concerns. I think adminstrators as well as the teachers are doing a great job in keep the school as a save environment for learning.

I am from NAC program in Campbell Middle School. I really liked that program. Those teachers helped me a lot. Foremost was Mr. Galindo R.

My son is in the 7th grade and his teachers really care that he does well in his grades. The teachers have given a lot of communication on his school assignments and progress reports.

as a former student at campbell middle school, i have to say that this school has gone down compared to others. when i first started the principal was well involved and the teachers were always encouraging the students to do their best. but towards the end of my seventh grade year with a new principal, administration, and many new teachers, i can say my eigth grade year was horrific! im glad that im out.


Posted October 28, 2006

hi i'm a sixth grader at campbell and i love it,its absolutly wonderful. maybe its because of there new principal but my big sister is now in 8th grade and shes loved it since her first day!

I was very hesitant to put my child at Campbell because of the former principal and for part of 6th grade she attended another cyfair school. When I learned that the new principal was coming, I enrolled her back in Campbell for the remainder of 6th. She just completed 7th grade and I am extremely pleased with how things are going. I can already see improvement with the discipline and the teacher attitudes. Cyfair is truly a top down organization, but this principal has come in and made some changes at the campus level that have definitely helped the school. One of the best things he does is to recognized and celebrate diversity.

My son attended the 2005-2006 school year in the 6th grade. I had such an awful time communicating with the teachers, it was as if they just didn't care. I gladly pulled my son from Campbell Middle School, and he will be attending Harmony School of Excellence for the 7th grade.

Poor quality of education due to inexperience of most teachers. Turnover is very high - we have had three math teachers -so far, this year. Principal refuses to meet with or talk to parents, and is seldom seen. The band program is very good. Academic extra-curricular activities are non-existant. Test scores are the lowest in the school district.

My children (currently 6th & 7th grade) have been attending Cy-Fair ISD for 4 years now. Picked a house based on the 'reputation of the district'. Children were bored for 2 years (came from an Aldine magnet school). District is very very bureaucratic! Like our legislature, they think making a rule will fix everything! Worthless mentality, would look for another school district ASAP! Common sense does not exist, except in the mind of the older teachers, never the administration!

What a great school! The new administration this year has made all the difference. The teachers are dedicated and consistently stay in touch with parents.
