Last year was my daughter's 7th grade year. As a slightly overprotective parent working hard to let my child grow into an independent young lady, I could not have been more impressed with the faculty, administration, curriculum and extracurricular activities at North Shore Middle School. The principals were all very visible and the teachers emailed when there were questions, concerns, or just to relay information. The front office and attendance clerk were also friendly and helpful. Academics,especially Reading and Science, were always the focus. The extracurricular opportunities were so broadbased. I could go on and on. In short, I was extremely impressed with NSMS and look forward to my daughters 8th grade year!

My son attended Cobb last year and I for one loved the staff. It is a very friendly place and not one but all of the teachers and office staff are there to help when the need arises. My son done better there than at any other school he has been to. Another point I would like to make is that they have an after school program that is a group called East Harris County Youth Group that is funded by Commisioner Slyvia Garcia and that also done wonders in helping my son excel. If I could I would have taken all of the staff at Cobb with us on to North Shore Middle.

I am a new parent at Cobb and my experience has been nothing but great. My child has definately excelled at this school and always gets the help needed, without feeling insecure or less than perfect. I am proud to have moved into the district and found such a promising experience.
