Cunningham Elementary School 5100 Gulfton Street, Houston, TX 77081

"One of the worse school years I have experienced. Moving to the southwest was already a life change , but having to deal with the unprofessional staff members at this school was the worse. From principle, to assistant principle, to the untrained teachers not sure which one worst. My kids have experience more bullying in this school than any other school, and for this school to not take action until you reach out to someone above them , is depressing . I can keep going about all the bad things but no reason why since they will not take it serious . No i do not recommend anyone moving to this school zone at all, reconsider ."

"I have two children that go here. The staff aren't too friendly and I heard not so good things about the principal Mr. Cruz. The teachers do not call you back when you leave messages and I give them at least a week because I understand they might be busy, however the call never comes. They are very unorganized when it comes to every event. During the Thanksgiving lunch they ran out of seats we had to sit on the steps of the stage. When I'm at these events I watch how the teachers interact with the kids and I've seen some behave rudely to the kids. Some don't seem to have the drive to enteract at the events as if they don't want to be there. The teachers lack communitcation with the parents which is unexceptable when it comes to those parents that are very active with the school. The counselor Ms. Jewel is very unprofessional she also doesn't give call backs. Parking is very small (one of the things that's least of my worries), but unfortunately not the only problem that is going at this school. Not a school I recommend."

"I went here as a child in the 80's. It has changed alot. I think alot of the area is wasted, and could have more classrooms, etc. But im glad they ripped out all those 50's and 60's temp class shacks along the Rice side."

"This school lacks profession when it comes to their educators including their Principle Ms.White! Some of the teachers here do not even speak proper English. Ever since I moved my family to the South West area especially my children to this School my wife seems to have problems here and there with the administration here. The school will call you when your child acts up, but when there is an incident that may have happened to your child they aren't so quickly to call you and advise you back. My daughter constantly has complaints on how the student body here are so ill mannered, and how time to time there have been different incidents where a bunch of 5th graders have tried beating other students up in the restroom or how one girl brought a knife to school which by the way sent a letter two days later after the incident. HISD educators should implement more on these children in order to avoid tragedies like seen on news stream."
