Uplift Hampton Preparatory

"I was a previous student who transferred out (gladly) but the schools main concern was just to make you graduate and get you out of there, terrible administrative staff and once I transferred out they did not transfer my credits from summer school to my next school so I had to repeat the same classes and once I contacted the counselors about the situation through email they refused to respond after we spoke about it. Never believe they’re “100% graduation rate”, I know plenty of students who did not graduate from that school, please keep your child as far away from there as possible, their senior class this year has gone from the biggest from freshman year to the smallest the school has ever had and I believe it is for good reason"

"This school is horrible. I was called by the 6th grade Dean to pick my child up from school because there was an incident that happened. I asked what happened and she told me she didn't know any details. When I talked to my daughter, she said she hit a male student for saying something sexually inappropriate to her. How are you the Dean and not ask what happened before you call for me to pick my child up? When I got there she didn't even come talk to me or apologize for her mistake of not following procedures. Very unprofessional and I'm still upset about this incident. Not to mention she told my daughter she had no right to hit him. How do you back this type of behavior? I've been seriously thinking about transferring schools for a while now but try to give this school a chance in hopes that things will get better."

"As far as my child learning they get 5 stars. But the professionalism needs a lot of work. I've called the school and left several messages with the counselor and have yet to get a call back. I've also called on several occasions and no one would answer. That is horrible when you have peoples children in your care. They are strict on student dress code but the teachers(women) dress inappropriately, dresses are see thru and way higher then a school length. I fill if children have to be in a dress code the teachers should also"

"The Primary school needs a major overall. Beware of core subjects such as math, my daughter was in the 5th grade and had three different math teachers in one year which is a major problem and it got to the point math stopped being taught period. With math being a core subject in regards to the STAAR test this should not be happening. This school has major discipline problems as well, a classroom day consist of 90% trying to get the classroom under control and 10% on actual learning. I also feel the curriculum is not challenging enough in order to keep the students engaged. I had to take up the slack and re teach my daughter at home what she was not learning at school which is a major problem."

"Any parent considering sending their child here needs the rethink their decision. Child safety is NOT a priority, bullying is allowed. Our oldest was bullied for 5 years by the same kid, we reported it many times, she finally suffered a broken arm at his hands, nothing done about it. Our youngest was severely injured on the playground, broken pubic bone, no call from the school at all. Any complaint you have will fall on deaf ears. AVOID THIS HORRIBLE PLACE!!!"
