Southwest Public Schools 3333 Bering Drive, Houston, TX 77057

"Southwest Schools is a place where students are valued. Southwest Schools cares about each every student. Teachers are caring and supportive. They take the time to get to know each student by name and their families! Students, Families, and Teachers feel supported and are always pushed to grow! Southwest Schools is changing lives for the better!"

"Southwest schools is a great place to work if you want to make positive impacts for students. It is a unique educational environment where the social emotional well being of the students is just as important as their academic success."

"I started working at Discovery Middle School this January. I cannot talk about any of the other schools simply because I'm not familiar with them. The current administration, along with the teachers, cares for the school. It has been an uphill battle because most of our kids are underprivileged and, more than likely, do not have the academic and disciplinary foundations needed to succeed as they walk in to our school. I saw a terrible review from an ex-contractor that got "let go". I would say about 10% of his assessment is true. One teacher did leave the school on a stretcher but it was nothing school related. He had major health issues from before. As far as a comment of the administration being biased... the administrative team is comprised of Hispanic, African American, Caucasian and Asian members and I have never heard any single racist remark and never seen a single discriminatory act. The hourly dance contractor (notice that he is not a teacher) that was let go is trying to use his race as a reason for him being let go. That's utter nonsense."

"Thus far Southwest Schools has been a great place to work. The team members I have worked with directly are extremely knowledgeable, care about what's best for kids, as well as, what's effective and efficient. Yes, there's room for growth and Southwest is headed in the right direction."

"I have worked along side the Administrative and school-specific teaching teams for the Southwest Schools District for almost 5 years. The question that's repeated during meetings and gatherings is "Is it in the best interest of the students?" People want to feel like they are working on the side of the team wearing the white hat. That's exactly what I feel like as part of Southwest Schools."
