Hopewell Middle School

I have attended a couple of sports activities (football/basketball) this month and was sad to see that there were not many parents attending. Why is this? As a future parent of a child who will attend this school, this is concerning to me. Based on parental involvement, I would have to rate this school with only one star. The one star is for the parents that are involved.

I rate this school as a 5 star my son attended 6 and now 8th. Grade. My daughter is in 6th.grade this year. I love this school we are born and raised in Austin moved here 8 years ago. Teachers do their best with what little is given to them. Athletics football is great and the coaches are great my son has played two years. Bullying is not tolerated. I highly recommend Hopewell.

We are very happy with Hopewell Middle School. It is one of the reasons we chose the community we live in.

As a person of color (white) my daughter is a minority, 80% Hispanic and Black. The school does not feel safe and is dirty. Bad school that does not care. English is almost the second language.

I have 2 boys that have moved on to highschool and 2 boys still in Hopewell. I have been very pleased for the most part, easy to get in touch and easy to set up conferences with all the teachers at one time.

Both of my kids have attended Hopewell. All the bad reviews are about parent/school communications. I found that not to be the case. The administration and teachers have always sent me e-mails or phone calls. After my oldest daughter left there and went to SPHS the vice principal and her Hopewell teachers continued to inquire as to how she was doing. This school has been a great experience for my kids. Parent involvement has a lot to do with what you get out of your school.

We moved this past summer from San Antonio, Tx expecting that the schools in Round Rock would be a better learning environment for our son. The learning environment I found to be that same as the middle school in San Antonio...poor. The communication between the school office and parents is unsatisfactory. There are no notices sent out for PTA meetings. The communication between teachers and parents is acceptable. There are a couple of teachers that do not respond to emails but for the most part the teachers appreciate parent involvement.
