Special education is very ineffective: don't follow protocol, don't follow ARD recommendations, and they will suspend your child in or out of school to avoid providing services. Get ready for tickets if you have disciplinary infractions from not doing an assignment to curse word in halls--CCISD is famous for ticketing! Teachers rarely respond to emails. Grades don't get updated regularly and paradoxically rigid with students following instructions to the T. Move to Space Center Intermediate if you can!

Had three kids go through SIS. Had a problem with one teacher that was quickly resoved. Otherwise, can't say enough about the faculty and principal. My kids were better prepared than most for high school.

I agree withe the last parent that some of the office staff are rude, but the school is a great school especially the Science Magnet.

Some of the office staff are kind of rude; especially the person who answers the phone all the time and they do NOT enforce the rules against bullying....AT ALL.

Livid. School called demanded that I disclose the information regarding her race. Because she has more than one background, none of the little 'boxes' applied. They claimed they couldn't even give me a reason why they needed to know, either. Does the race of the child determine how they will be educated? How they should be treated? She's an American. She was born American. Both her parents are Americans. Grandparents on both sides are American. Why do they need to profile the children?

This school has excellent programs and teachers.I was lucky enough to get accepted to the Scinece Magnet Program, run by Janet Larson. Unforntunately I moved to New York in March Halfway through the school year. I miss the school and all of the wonderful kids and teachers and LMC,the afternoon program,where you take care of over 60 different species of animals. This program teaches students responseablity and how to take care of animals. THe science teachers are great here including Mr.Lowe , Mrs.Moore, and Mr.Miller. All of the teachers are great in fact. I wouldn't be able to pick my favorite. This school has great teachers and staff. I would love to still be there to finish my 7th and 8th grade there. Any person lucky enough to get accepted to this wonderful school, treasur it forever! A great school like this should be accounted for!

Janet Larsen does a wonderful job as the Liaison for the Science Magnet Program here! The school is smaller and older than most of the other intermediates in CCISD, but the kids are not as crowded and the administrators seem genuinely interested in the kids. It's a positive campus where the kids value good grades and seem to have a little more freedom, and educators are innovative and enthusiastic, which the kids and families appreciate. All of the teachers we've had are great, but a special thumbs-up to Mr. Lowe and all the science teachers for making science cool and fun!

We have been very happy with SIS. It's a diverse group of kids and a fantastic faculty. The teachers care and are involved with their students.

Seabrook Intermediate has an environment where kids want to learn. We were forced to move away after Hurricane Rita. My son was just not happy at his other school even though he kept his grades up. He always wanted to move back to Seabrook, not just Seabrook but where he could attend Seabrook Intermediate. We have since been fortunate enough to move back to Seabrook and my son has never been happier. The teachers, curriculum, principals, vice principals and office staff are just incredible. They are all willing to help in any way they can to assist the children in succeeding. I can't say enough about the success of this school both for the kids and the parents.

Academic programs are good Able to take both band and vocal. Great parent involvement

The Science Magnet Program at Seabrook was our first experience with public school. It has been a great transition. The program offers wonderful opportunities for the kids to learn outside the standard classroom. The added science elective open the door to a variety of interests within the field. For the most part, the teachers are great! They love teaching and they love the kids. Rewards are offered through the school and PTA for honor roll students. Students needing extra help are awarded the help they need. They also have a great fine arts department, especially Theater Arts. For students who want to learn, oppotunities abound.

My daughter has been accepted into the People to People network a student ambassador program. She has excelled academically and personally since attending Seabrook intermediate. She enjoys her teachers and is challenged by her curriculum. She has been a straight A student since her inception into the science magnet program. And we expect more of the same in the years too come. Seabrook Intermediate is a wonderful place for children to grow and learn!

My child has blossomed at SIS, the Magnet Programs is wonderful. We have had a few miss communication between student and teacher, but over all she has had three wonderful years. We are hoping little sister will be excepted into the Magnet Program next fall.
