Klein high school is not a good school. There are many times where teachers are rude and unpleasant to the students. I'v seen teachers call students stupid and retarded. Most of the teachers can't teach. They either talk about their personal life during the class period or they dont do anything but sit at there desk. Last year they got rid of a bunch of GREAT teachers, but kept the bad ones. I dont understand also why they dont seem to realize when a certain teacher has a very low average of scores from their students, they dont fix the problem because they don't care. The contruction has also made it a hard place to walk around and its very loud. Over all this school is a 1. The one is just for the "couple" teachers that can teach good. Which is pretty rare at this school.
We have lived in a few states and we were told Klein is the best school district in Houston area. Our child has been at KHS for 3 yrs and it has been nothing but grief. Many teachers don't do their jobs, many do not know what they are teaching or how to teach it. Our child has to monitor his/her grades to ensure that the teachers are doing their jobs correctly. Many teachers are negative, as well as the administration. I was yelled at by a teacher once for parking in the visitors lot because she thought I was a student-Nice way to approach someone you don't even know, student or parent. School has bomb threats/fights/gangs, etc. Our child doesn't want to finish HS here, and we are considering switching to a new school next year. Do not recommend.
Klein High is a great school. The teachers really care and they have a great sports program. Klein also offers a variety of clubs and honors programs. There is something for every child who wants to be involved. Klein prepares each student for college very well and provides a strucutred educational enviroment.
Klein High was the worst school that we have had to deal with for four years. There were some teachers that just should not be teaching any longer due to there lack of patience and a friendly attitude. Now the office staff that was specific for my child were cold and unpleasant to deal with in the four or five times throughout the at the school. My child was above most of his peers academically so i do not know where there behavior came from. I will move or re-route my other child to a different school, because there is know way he will attend that one. The only thing that school has going for it is the principal who is very nice. There is so much more that was disliked, but i will not bother you all with that. GOOD LUCK if you are zoned for this high school!
my kids love this school. The teachers really care. My oldest boy has been going there on and off for 5 years now and he loves it. Sometimes he comes home and just talks for what seems like an eternity about his teachers and how great they are.
Klein High School has some of the best teachers in Texas. My children all went to private elementary, since our neighborhood school (Brill) wasn't the calibar we wanted, so we were a bit wary going into the huge KHS campus. All my children did very well academically, socially and enjoyed all the sports a large school has to offer. The AP cirriculum is rigorous and generally taught very well. English, Math, US History were by far right on track with private schools. Good job KHS, hats off to the principal, administration & teachers.
Right now Klein is way over filled. A normal class has about 30-36 kids in it. With this many students you can't even hear the teacher. A "small" class has about 25-30 kids. The Pre-AP is also not so great. Basically you could call it TEACH YOURSELF. Other than that Klein is wonderful!
Klein is the best! It is so great to be a part of a school that excels at so many things! Klein has tought me how to become more independent and allows me to be myself. Everyone has a place to fit in here, and there is so many clubs and activities to join. Because our school is so large, it gives you the opportunity to meet new people all the time. I am a sophmore and have loved my two years here, I am sad to say that I will be moving out of state this summer and I hope to find another school with just as much passion as Klein has to offer. It is the most school spirited school I have ever been to!
My children received a well rounded education. KHS is especially outstanding in the area of fine arts.
I rate the school a 5. My children graduated in the top 20% of their classes and did wonderful in college. Klein prepared them very well. I appreciated the professionalism and structured education at Klein. Go teachers!
