Dr. Hector P. Garcia Middle School

"Ok, so this school has many Fantastic elements and some not so great. Many teachers here are fantastic, and are loved by their students. Others are iffy. This school has excellent resources and elective programs. The administration seems like it could use some work. Bullying here is mild."

"I would have to say this school needs improvement on the bullying, because I have been bullied so many times for not having money or having such short hair! This school is basically a rivalry between popular and the non-popular. It’s getting out of hand and needs to be noticed. The administration says “oh we’ll help you and have them stop blah blah blah” but if you look they do absolutely nothing!! All they say to those students is “try to be friends with them or don’t talk to them”. IT NEVER WORKS!!! All it does is make it worse. I draw out my emotions and I drew this one picture of a girl screaming her head off and I got d-hall for a month for doing something that helps me! I myself might do things that I shouldn’t but that’s only because I’m being bullied and I’m standing up for myself. I really think that the administration needs to get ahold of everything and try to make those kids stop and stop the “segregation” of the school. But they don’t know how to do that so they just brush it off like it’s nothing. I don’t recommend this school if you don’t want your child to be bullied but if you want your children to have good education then I would recommend this school because the teachers are amazing at their jobs and teach the kids good things!"

"Great school, really like education our son got, went here 2014-2017. Teachers are nice and follow up pretty quick. The sports program is good, the music department is good and the club's are good. The pickup and drop off work well with the system they have, and they have a full-time police officer always on campus. Lunch for the kids is about $2.25 and breakfast is about $1.25. Most after school programs run from $20 to over $400, especially for sports and band. The principle is great and truly loves the kids and wants them to succeed as do the rest of the staff. Would send all or kids here if we lived here long enough. Darn PCS'ing :) messes everything up...lol, one thing I wish texas would do though is limit the practice start dates for sports like other states do, it is unfair for all these kids to have to pick one sport and pretty much practice year-round with that sport, pretty much means you can't be an all-American."

"My son says Garcia is "Gucci" and "lit". The teachers here are so good at there job and the kids are lovely. I have had no trouble with anyone here and will definitely recommend this school to any parents wanting to send there child to a extremely great school"

"Had to contact the front office to get my daughters attendance correct. Instead of assisting and listening to what was said Sandra was extremely rude and began to talk over me. I thought the staff was there to help you not to treat you like you are bothering them and have done wrong. This is not the first time this school has done this. Now I have to take time off of work to go up there along with my child just to get her attendance corrected that should have been done when my daughter handed her excuse note in,."
