I took my nephew in, and started him in this school a few months ago. I have been absolutely amazed by this school. They really go above and beyond the call of duty. His 2nd grade teacher communicates very effectively through the Monday folder, and works hard to ensure open communication is maintained with the parents/guardians, even after the school day ends. The office staff made what could have been an extremely trying situation for me as easy as possible. My nephew is learning so much, and is so excited about it. They reward the students well for good behavior, and hold them accountable for bad behavior. My nephew has struggled to keep up with the new curriculum, but they are working hard to get him up to par, offering him after school tutoring, and summer school. Great school, can t wait for my daughter to start next year.

Aldine Academy is a wonderful Magnet School. The Principal Ms Hagood and Ast. Principal Ms Mays along with all the Teacher and Staff are totally committed to bringing out and supply the best education and environment for each child. The school itself is absolutely spectacular. The children have access to so much information. They are allowed to participate in French Fairs, Drums, Houston Rodeo's writtin and art contest. The school is designed, where in some of the classrooms, they have exposure to public speaking, archaeology digs and so much more. The parents are allowed, as well as encourged, to participate in daily classes and activies. The communication is between Partents and Staff is second to none. This school is wonderful and you know from your first visit that the goal is Aldine Academy Students will SOAR through life.
