Seven Lakes J High School

My son is finishing his 8th grade and I am very glad and satisfied with his academic a personal development. SLJH is one of the best Junior High School that I have known. They have a perfect balance between the academic and the arts.

a ParentI have been moved to Katy because my job. Since my son started to attend SLJH, I have seen his improvement in all the areas, especially in mathematics and science. The teachers and all the SLJH community are the best persons I have found in many places. I would recommend this junior high school.

Having bought a house within the boundary of this school, our realtor assured us that SLJH is great. As a parent who has lived in many states around the country and a teacher as well, I wanted to hold off on my review. However, I had several observations that are worth some pondering thus far. They are: a) teachers are not too keen on correcting/providing guidance on incorrect behaviors that are quite visible and audible in the hallways, cafeteria and classrooms. I get that academic wise they are great however, students also need to be modeled and must be corrected about inappropriate words or actions. Respect &/or courtesy are important characters that we all need whether as young adults or in the work force. b) The front office folks are not too favorably disposed to helping you when you come in. When I came in, the office mgr was on the phone, yet the other ladies continued their conversations, as they ignored me & another parent. c) My son reports that bullying exist and teachers are ignoring it &/or sweeping it off under the carpet. Hoping some changes will occur. I see parents on the hallways & as volunteers. Let us not be blind or mute to what we see or hear.

I have had the opportunity of having my kids attending different schools around the globe due to the nature of my work. I can state with all confidence that SLJH is by far one of the best middle schools not only in the Houston area, Texas or the USA, but around the globe. The community involvement is one of a kind. The academic level is one of the best in the US. The students come from many places around the world so you have a great mix of cultures and languages spoken at all times.
