Housel Middle School

I love being in school. I especially love the teachers. . . they're all so awesome and nice. I'm proud to be a part of this amazing school.

The Administration care about themselves than the kids. They need new leadership,

Prosser Middle School help the kids be winers and help them in what they need.

Notification of student progress is slow or non existant. Progress reports arrive 2 weeks late and emails are seldom answered. Each teacher seems to have their own agenda and parents/guardians will do well to just go with the flow and not ask any questions. There is no parent/teacher conference; just a parent/student conference held under the direction of a teacher who barely knows the student's name and can answer no question about the student. Doing the best for the student does not happen. I speak from experience; I have a student doing excellent in the school in spite of the lack of co-operation.

Housel Middle School in Prosser, Washington is a very nice school. There are two (2) gyms and the school is not crowded nor any of the classes where I have observed excessivly large. Parent involvment is sadly lacking. A typical school board meeting has one (1) parent. A WASL information meeting had two (2) parents. The school mentions 'Parent Involvment' but the parent/teacher conference is led by the student and the teacher present doesn't have the student for any classes so cannot answer any questions. I have a Special Education student and the communication about her and her progress are non-existant. Her IEP meeting was even held without notifing me! Housel has a school bulletin and after 10 months I discovered it and had to ask for a copy. The principal is wonderful and this could be a great school if more parents would pay attention.
