Spring Forest Middle School

Bullying problems for my special needs child in 8th grade at this school. Teachers and admin are ok, students - not so much. Anti-bullying initiatives ineffective. Hurtful and disappointing.

I was a student there, until I moved to another school. But I LOVED this school. I had so much fun. The teachers are so helpful. They really care. They help alot, they are funny, and really cool. I dont see how the new school im going to is one of the best schools in houston. The teachers are awful and boring. In Spring Forest, ive had so much fun They have so many fun ways to teach kids. I really miss that school. I would givve anything to go back.

I'm going there next year and went last year it's the best school!! You find so many friends of all differnt races and backrounds I reccomend you go to SFMS or your child does it's an awesome school!! :))

i was in 6grade last year,but i moved now im in another one, but i really loved sfms it's the best school ever and all of the teachers are really nice and awsome. that was the best school ive ever gone to :)

My son is in 6th grade at SFMS. He likes school alot and has met alot of new friends. He is in all Pre AP/GT classes and is definitely being challenged academically. There are many extracurricular programs to choose from. We are very impressed with Dr. Bird (the principal) and all of the teachers he has this year. There is alot of parental involvement as well.

The school has a topnotch language arts department and an excellent principal!

My wife and I are extremely pleased with the teachers and the new administrative staff at Spring Forest Middle School. Our son has been very happy, and we are very satisfied!

My son transferred from a private school to SFMS this year (6th grade) after we moved. He is in the G&T program; and I have been very impressed with all his teachers and the academic curriculum. He is learning things I remember studying in college. He is happy in his new environment and enjoys going to school which is the most important thing. One concern I have is that he has relayed to me that he hears a lot of cursing in the hallways from other students. Other than that, the administration seems to have a good handle on discipline matters. There is a dress code which I think helps. Also, it might just be my son, but I think there should be more extracurricular activities offered outside of sports and notification sent home of such activities.

Spring Forest is an above averafe middle school but is nowhere near Memorial middle. The academic programs are OK but the LA program is not good. My child didn't learn anything new from 7th to 8th grade. The choir is excellent and sports are average. Parent involvement isaverage too.
