Hubbard Middle School

The teachers are great and make communication easy. There are lots of fights here though...and disciplinary measures are lacking.

My son is a sixth grader at Hubbard. I am enjoying this school so far.

My daughter is in seventh grade at Hubbard. The teachers on her team are excellent. Her teachers have high expectations and really care for their students. They use the agenda as a tool for communicating with parents and are very approachable. My daughter is in the orchestra which is wonderful. I believe she is getting the best education possible at Hubbard.

Hubbard has its fine points, but they need to focus more on teaching the kids and giving them confidence, instead of whether or not they beat other schools in TAKS scores.

My son attended HMS for 3 years in Accelerated courses and did very well. He is graduating with honors this spring. My daughter is in the 7th grade at HMS, and our experience is not as great. She is in on level courses. I agree with the other parent posting...HMS is not the best place for the student who doesn't have great personal internal motivation to excel even if they are capable. Not sure if it is the on-level teaching technique or a general attitude that a C is okay for the average student. I am disappointed because I do not feel like the teachers take a personal interest in the success of my child...she is just one of 100+ other students on their grade book. Contact with teachers can be difficult.

My daughter attented the last three years. I think the size of the schools impairs learning and creates an unhealthy competitive environment for the children. I feel the school is behind other states as most of the emphasis is on testing instead of teaching. For example, when the children were having trouble on the 6 week performance plus math test, they started making them take an additional test every six weeks. Why not teach them?? Extra activities were limited. Band and orchestra were outstanding!!

Hubbard Middle School is an great school for preps, but not for your average student. Teachers like the Pups team install pride in students and allow them to succeed in anything they try,

My son attended this school for 3 years and I have been a teacher here for 26. There are a lot of wonderful things going on in classrooms like higher order thinking, lots of essay writing, and reteaching of TEKS and Performance Plus tests. Math Count students beat the rest in the area, even in some of the magnet science/math schools. PTA is the strongest in the area.
