Energized for Excellence Academy

I'm new in texas and when I called to find out enrollment information about this school the lady who answered the phone was very rude and short with me. she did not even give me time to ask where they were located. she cut me short and said she had another phone call and if I wanted more info I had to go in to the school and she hung up on me.

school is a joke they are very unorganized they ask for so much money and allot of supplies which you are buying for the entire school .there staff are rude including ms bullock and ms cooper walks around cluesless asking parents what to do.. parents or anyone can walk in and no permission is asked .parking is a nightmare ,parents fight for parking or to even the leave the parking lot. teachers are great but they system there is horrible , dont leave your kid there they are taking advantage of all the undocumented kids , parents and teachers. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN

A factory school that just packs them in. They have a huge factory garage door in there cafeteria that is open in all weather and the kids have to sit there and wait for classes. Parking is terrible and traffic is nuts. Its like they didn't even plan for drop offs and pick ups when they created the school. The teachers do the best they can but the administration is obviously worried about other things. This school is not much of an improvement over the terrible HISD schools in the Sharpstown area.

RUN, do not walk, away from this school! First, there is no semblance of organization here. There are multiple "campuses" scattered around town, but they consist of portables or ancient, mold-infested storage and office buildings. Students aren't taught real skills, just how to take the standardized tests for their particular grade. Yes, the scores are high, but your child isn't learning enough to carry from one year to the next. They accept serious behavior problems, and there are no consequences for those who disobey, which distracts the kids who WANT to learn. No P.E., no extracurriculars or Fine Arts (if you're not in band or cheerleading, there's nothing for you, and even those are awfully excecuted). This school is a terrible excuse for an organization, and my child is much better off at Pershing.

Experience with school not very pleasant. Principal was not professional and focus was more on testing that actual comprehension of subject.

Lack of organization, some classes don't have boards for teachers to write, as a parent I have to pay for any field trips and at the bus with 2 and that is ilegal. The teacher is doing her best, but the classroom is very small.

My child started here two years ago in the pre-k3 program. He will be starting kindergarten this August and is already reading and loves homework. Ms. Carter was his teacher for pre-k4 and she is truly a gifted educator. Principal Bullock has stocked this school with extremely capable educators who love their job.

I withdrew my child due to inability of the school to offer concrete support, without the exclusive focus on TAKs, Principal refused to return calls. I found the the entire program being more on funding that the actual progress of my child.

This is my daughter's second year. She has been learning really good. I rate it as average because the school is very unorganized and tell the parents about activities at the last minute. I know if they are out of school before the teacher knows due to me asking other parents and going online at the hisd website. It is an excellent school for learning but that is it. Communication, diversity, activities, traffic is the major problems this school has. I would not recommend this school to anyone. This will be my daughters last year there.
