Spring High School

"This school is horrible. I had to pick my granddaughter and was scared setting in the parking lot waiting for her. I had to go inside the school. Hoodlums every where. Mr. Harvey is awesome. I was treated well by the staff. I think parents need to step back and take a look at how they are raising their kids. Because the way they were acting, talking, and there appearance was disgusting. As it appeared to me the government, you and I will be supporting them forever."

"This school sucks ass but is getting better as the years progress. We just got a new principal and she is doing a pretty good job at turning things around. Don't judge us now for people in the past. Also the few students you see on the news don't represent the rest of the student body. All you see on tv are the negative things about spring because that's the only way to interest viewers. No one thinks about all of he positive aspects such as our world champion colorguard, top choirs in the state, and some of the most talented and intelligent people. Although I really hate some of the people at the school and I believe that a lot of the kids here are childish and immature I would not trade it to go anywhere else. I love spring and my closest friends are here and I love how some of these teachers actually grow a relationship with their students. "Don't judge a book by its cover" so don't judge spring by its cover."

"I go to this school right now. I'm a junior and this is my first year in SHS. I come from a small high school so moving to Spring is a BIG difference. I love the diversity and how the other kids here turned out to be friendly- despite this school's reputation. There are around 2900-3400 kids in this school so expect to see some new faces every few days. It's never boring! I'm in all honors classes and I'm passing so my first year is going by successfully. My teachers are understanding and kind."

"Spring ISD is without a doubt the worst school system that I have ever come across. My children have had the worst learning experience ever in this district. The teachers are rude and god help if your the parent and know just a little more than they do or show them up for the stupidity that they show. As a parent you must stay on top of the teachers, counselors, and yes even the principal to make sure your kids are not getting the blamed for something they did not do or to make sure that what you expect as a parent is really what is being done and not some thing else. All I can say is parents listen to your students if they something is going on they are most likely not exaggerating. This district is absolutely appalling from silent lunches at the elementary school for simple mistakes and mind you the silent lunches are not in the school handbook nor the district handbook as an acceptable punishment just adopted by the school, the kids are bullies and crappy lunches to teachers allowing students to be disruptive in class and have cell phones out to text as they please and teacher does nothing about it, to fights over stupid bus seats the physical education teacher thinking they know more than the parents who both have a degree in healthcare and work with surgeons daily, to the in house after school charging you for days that you do not use the services all because they have to pay their staff ( I'm sorry are they not paid by the hour by the employer anyhow) and you must give them a 2 week notice for any changes and during that time you continue to pay the services at the normal rate until the 2 weeks are over even though the students are not utilizing it any longer, etc. I would not recommend this school district to anyone. My recommendation is RUN don't WALK as far from this district as you can get. The district is a JOKE."

"Spring High was a very crowed school, but all in all, if you find great friends and focus hard on your school work and programs or clubs your in, you'll make through and graduate. The staff and teachers are great, some can be harsh or rude, but most of the time they do it b/c they know your smart and can succeed in graduating :-) I struggled with TAKS, but i made it through b/c i found teachers who cared enough to help me pass and encourage me to know that i could do it :-) The staff was also great b/c they supported the anti-bulling. If there is ever a bully bothering you, or groups of students getting you down or discouraging you. Dont hesitate to tell a staff, trust me they care. Ive seen worse problems than that and they always manage to help get you out of whatever situation is hurting you. No matter how small or big the problem is. There will be bullys in life, but you dont have to take there nonsense, just have strength to tell someone. Now I did like the library, there were good selections of books, and its pretty peaceful in there if you wanna study or unwind from a long day reading a good book. Okay sometimes lunch can icky but sometimes its pretty good! You just gotta find a good day to eat on and a good line to get food from :-) The chicken nuggets were my favorite and the snack line was really good too. Their sports, music, theater and art programs are really great! So go for it, if you wanna do something productive and fun. I liked my high school life, but i had my rough times too. But i made it through b/c i kept on trying and trying. I mean there were times i wanted to give up and just drop out, but i didnt, b/c i wanted to earn the diploma and know that i did my best no matter what. So dont give up, no matter what your going through. Your going to make it. Never give up and dont look to the past, just keep on moving forward and doing YOUR best that you can. :-)"
