All of my nephews go to Medlin and they all have dyslexia and dsygraphia. Medline does not have a program for these special services and has been very difficult to work with. The kids have been extremely sad and frustrated at trying to get help.

Medlin is an amazing school. I had difficulties in math, and Ms. Boyle was an wonderful teacher, i understand everything now. 6th grade was a good year, and this year, im in 7th grade and everything is better than ever. I don't know how any parent would not want their child to go here! Mrs. Ellis is also a very good princable.

The staff at Medlin is exceptional. Their genuine concern for each student is evident as they encourage students to reach their highest potential.

No complaints about the academics. AP Math and AP Science classes were challenging and fun for my child. This school is very clickish. There is a School Uniform Policy which appears to have a 100% student opt-out (wasted money buying buying school uniforms as required by school handbook). Complaints to the district administration was ignored and not one phone call was returned. The on-campus police officer DID notice. I do not recommend this school.

We found this school to have some dedicated teachers the first year we were there. Something happened the next year however and several teachers quit.We were not satisfied with this campus , the Special Education department in particular. We believe this is typical in Texas and wish we could find a Spec.Ed. Dept.willing to implement an IEP not just talk about it.As taxpayers we feel we received the short-end of the stick.

The teachers try, but fall short. They are probably at the mercy of their district and the rules that limit their thinking and creativity... but alas. Not a fan of the Texas Public School System, I have found that Northwest is particularly bad (when compared with say Keller). The parents are very involved. There are programs, but their gifted and talented program certainly falls short of great. The school is also very strict, which is kinda good and kinda annoying. Especially when each teacher calls you from each period because your child forgot their planner 1 time. I think that there may be other things to worry about.

This school is exceptional. Everyone expects the very best! The facility is spotless and safe. If all public schools were managed like this, private schools would cease to exist. I highly recommend this school for your children grades 6-8.

Mrs. Ellis is a straight forward administrator. She says exactly what she means without mincing words. This applies to both parents and students. My 7th grader respects and admires our Principal as do I.
