Haltom High School

"My nephew just graduated from this school. I gotta say the teachers are great, helpful, and influential. But the administers here are the worst. And I thought I had my share of terrible administers with my kids' school. One word: oppressive. I remember my sister telling me that her son was being verbally abused and the APs won't do anything about it. Also their graduation was a bust. Due to their very strict rules on wardrobe, having everyone clothed from head to toe with black, we had a very difficult time picking out my nephew out of a crowd of 300 kids and we nearly missed his grand moment of receiving his diploma on stage. When I say head to toe, I really do mean head to toe. All the girls had to wear basically the same thing: black pantyhose with black shoes. The dress was to be worn underneath from the robes. Ok, no problem. But they still had to be black. Why even do that? Nobody is going to see what dress the girls would have underneath so color shouldn't matter. I felt like I was attending some kind of monk convention. No wonder people say individualism is dead..."

"These students complain too much; I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Haltom and received a better education here than in another city such as Dallas. The work and grading system is rigorous but it helps to keep students busy. Most of the reviews I read here are about superficial things such as school aestheticism and the like, it's a shame I didn't realize they went to school to be interior design critics.The teachers are all around wonderful people, very helpful and interested in the students education. The students were friendly too for the part, thankfully I wasn't there to socialize"

"Wow. Completely horrid! Everything about this school is great! The students, the teachers, the events... But not the APs... Which really ruined my freshman year for me. APs are supposed to be there for their students, saying hi, learning names.... But these APs aren't envolved at all. 2/5 of them I consider "decent." They seem to just be there for their pay check. Especially Ms. Campbell!! I know I'm not the only one who knows she is a bad person. She is obviously good at her job, but she doesn't seem to enjoy it. She's always giving me sideways looks, making me feel really uncomfortable, and she is very rude. She seems to think all kids there are delinquents, and so she treats them as such. This school is complete trash, and I am happy to say I'm switching schools. Good riddance!!"

"The majority of the staff are very rude, especially the AP's! I have had several students tell me that they thought Mrs. Campbell was racist. I met her once at the beginning of the 2015 school year and she was awful to me! I think the students may be on to something. There is a lot of bullying in this school, and not just from students. The kids smoke pot on the buses and the drivers never say a word. I feel so sorry for these kids!!!"

"I attend Haltom High School. The staff is good, for most part they are wonderful but others are very rude. I enjoy the place of learning. Its a very good school to learn but you have to have a good teacher to learn. We are cared about and all the teachers I have had have made sure to get to know individually and know pros and cons about us. They make an effort. AP wise for the most part are understanding and genuine ask how your day is going. Others ignore you or yell at you and etc. Overall I'm happy I attend Haltom and to be a 3rd gen Buffalo."
