T.A. Howard Middle School

"Wow, at CTIS it was hard for me, i got picked on quite a bit. I used to be that one kid that joked around everyday and failed classes alot. But this school has really changed me, it has prepared me for the real world. I used to be absolute trash at math, i used to fail with 40s , 30s, 60s and now i have a 99 in that class thanks to ms. Harris. Im not sure how but she made it easier for me to comprehend that subject. My Launguage arts teacher Mrs. Chavarria has helped me alot, i came early for tutoring and she helped me raise my grades i now have a 9.3 reading level and im just a 7th grader!!! One thing i dont like about this school are peoples manners, its like they were rasied in a barn. Notice how most of the bad reviews are from the most rude kids in school who have no respect for thier classmates, teachers, and thierselves. I personaly think this is a Great school u should definatley send ur child here!!!"

"My nephew goes to this school and tells me the school is really bad. Children having sex and selling drugs. please find another school for your child. This is not a learning environment. He gets home very frustrated each day and telling how hard is for him to focus as the kids are very laud and disrespectful with the teacher. school transfer ASAP"

"I have had one child go thru this school, and another one just started this year. I love the sense of support from parents, students and staff. It takes a village to raise a child, and this school has a village!! The communication is amazing!! I have learned in life that it goes 2 ways. As a parent, I know my responsibilities and exercise them daily! PARENTS, PLEASE DON'T BLAME A SCHOOL FOR WHAT YOU LACK AT HOME! T.A. Howard is an AVID Nationally recognized school and has top of the chart scores in testing. Our teachers and staff have really created a great Knight family, and we are honored to be apart of it!!"

"I think that this school is the best school in Mansfield and Mrs. Chaverria is like best pre ap ever like in the whole world the only thing that this school needs to work on is the bad students and the bullying issues bullying is a bad thing there. They just need to pay attention in the school to the kids that get in trouble mostly every day and make sure that the inappropriate things said are well taken care of and that the stop billing people bullies get on my nerves that is the second thing I have besides lies and people that lie but besides that the school is a great place to enroll your child they will be well taken care of."

"Ms. Lewis, it is very inappropriate to resort to name calling any parent who choses to no longer want their child nor any future children to attend because they believe their child when they say they are being bullied. We all should believe our children. It's great that your experience at Howard has been a pleasant one, but does your experience, as great as it may be, diminish Ms. Hollie W's experience? If your child hasn't been bullied, which I hope not, does that mean there isn't a bullying problem that is going unabated? I know this... I am considering removing my daughter AFTER SHE COMPLETES HER THERAPY FOR CONTEMPLATING HER OWN DEMISE DUE TO BULLYING AT HOWARD! I have a huge bone to pick with the school's administration since it's been revealed that my child had been in CONSTANT CONTACT with the counselor for a long time, many times, and never has the counselor contacted the parents that there is some problem with our child big enough that she makes frequent visits to the counselor's office!"
