Houston Elementary School

I think it's a horrible School and I think the teacher and staff kind of follow suit

Horrible school overall with some good teachers whose talents and care are being wasted.

This is an average school at best. compared to other Denton ISD schools Iesp north Denton) its somewhat better.

This is not a great school. It's a good school compared to the other Denton elementary schools though. The principal is very involved which is good and the PTA is active which is good. They seem to have the drop off and pick up and security issues under control now which is great! We get more homework now which is good because before there was nothing. There is sometimes a lack of joy in teaching with many of the teachers or such an attitude from some of the teachers that it's a total turn off for a learning environment. Of course there are some stand out teachers that give their all. Discipline is extremely high here. Sometimes that's good and sometimes it's overwhelming. It helps keep the classrooms free of a lot of malarkey, but I've seen and heard of some kids being disciplined to the point of where it sounds like they are getting bullied by teachers and staff. It can mean the more popular kids can get away with stuff and other kids are disciplined for breathing wrong. I think it is focused on too much and academics and a safe emotional environment need more focus. Overall, this is an average school and an above average school for Denton elementary schools. Not terrible, pretty good, but not great.
