The reason why I give this school a 3 is that this school has been through a lot and this year it seems like they have gotten stricter , and the new admin have their foot down , these kids need discipline and love at same time , my daughter is in 10th grade now but attend Keller , my neighbors kids attend Keller and she informed me that it gotten a little better day by day and and I think that's wonderful, As I research the new admin that entered Keller , The new principal has it handful and I salute her for taking Keller M.S. I believe the new staff and admin can do a whole 360 with this school! Good luck!

My daughter has attended this school for two years now. She is in 7th grade now. Last year when I attended the open house teachers were practically begging for supply donations. We donated nearly $1000 in supplies as well as cash. When iPads were issued they didn't issue a charging cable with it. We had to buy one. Every other school I know of issued one with theirs. This year they weren't issued with the iPad, but my daughter has informed me they will be issuing them soon... After half the year has passed. When I pick her up I see PE classes on the tennis courts with some volley but mostly kickball balls trying to pay volleyball. Is this school so poorly administrate that they can't afford a couple volleyball nets and balls? I'm quite sure they are allotted the same funding other non magnet schools are. Why is it these other schools I've accompanied parents to have resources to distribute books to parents about how to help your child learn, are provided charging cables, don't beg for necessary items to properly teach? Not only that, but my daughter is constantly telling me they ran out of food at lunch and she has no interest in what alternative meal choice is provided. Bullying is an issue as well. I saw a girl harassing another girl to tears on their way home. When I called to report it they office personnel actually laughed! I was disgusted! The Hispanic children and parents are treated with preference, while white students and parents are treated with near disdain. If I could withdraw my daughter and enroll her elsewhere I would in a heartbeat. This is a poor excuse for a school. A poor learning environment. Very few teachers care enough to make contact if your child is falling behind or performing poorly. I've 3 children, and they've all attended different schools this is the only middle school I have dealt with that doesn't care one iota about the child, or the performance of the child. Parents I cannot express enough Do whatever necessary to prevent your child from attending this school! Use a friend or relatives address to enroll elsewhere.

I went to register my child at this school. I cheerfully said good morning to the register lady and got a response that was professional but unfriendly. She was curt with me and uninformative I felt I had to pull answers from her. As we filled out the forms she wanted at least two other times she was interrupted from her work to answer questions others asked her in Spanish and she was very informative, assuring and kind. When I again approached her I continued to speak to her in English even tho I know Spanish, yet she continued to address me with complete disinterest. I felt like a bore. I could see she was busy inputting into her computer data from other registration forms but, never the less I believe to deserve the same courtesy as the other that spoke to her in Spanish. I speak Spanish only when the person I speak to does not speak English. She needs Public Relations training and formal courtesy to all that come to her to register their children into this school. And if she is the representation of what the personal are like in this school. I wonder the attitude of the Principal to the custodian is like, in Spanish or English. Jesse
