Review of The Woodlands, Texas


Education is fouled
Star Rating - 9/27/2015
Some parents rave about the education system here but more and more parents are home schooling in our area. The ones that rave about it are the ones who are enjoying their child being forced to memorize lessons and the kids who can handle the high stress and all the extra home work that is given to the child, regardless if you know the work or not. We have several home schools opening in the recent years. The schools just pass children to the next level to keep their exemplary ratings. My son was 2 grade levels behind in L.A. and was just passed to the next grade level without any thought as to how much it was hurting him. Private schools in the area cost $20,000 + a year, only the wealthy can pay for that.

I could not agree more. I feel like I wrote this review. It is exactly as written here, mean girls on turbo charge here too.

School ratings are 100% based on the number of students who pass the STAAR test. The information students have to learn is dictated by the state, but the amount of pressure and added homework placed on kids is damaging. The Woodlands High School has a huge drug problem, and had so many kids seeking counseling that an administrator addressed the issue. There isn’t real intervention for struggling learners. Even as a teacher in the district, I could not get the school to provide intervention or even follow educational laws outlined by TEA.
