Dekaney High School 22351 Imperial Valley Drive, Houston, TX 77073

"Although I have had my bad experiences with students this school is not what it is made out to be. When I first started attending this school my freshman year it was horrible! We went through 3 different principals in a year. I had a big problem with bullying and the staff was uncoordinated. But let me tell you, my senior year was amazing! I met both wonderful teachers and students who made me view the school in a different light. I can say it’s about 20-30 students in the school who makes it look bad but it really is just like every other school except the staff and administrators care! Your not just a number"

"Worst school ever. If you want a quality education for your children run far away! There needs to be a implementation where there is a better system to get through to the phone. Calling several times and getting no answer is annoying!"

"I've been here two years now and they have great choir and art programs, they do need some work with the teachers and the staff but they have always helped me when I needed it, don't trash the whole school for a few immature idiots who are overloaded with testosterone. The principal tries to be around but has meeting off campus a lot and when she is here she does the announcements herself and tells us where we can find her during lunch. They need to tell kids when they change our schedules... They changed my 3 times with out telling me once. I had to get my teachers to pull it up so I could see where I was supposed to be."

"This school is trash. The principals and staff are not capable of teaching or handling children. Everyone there is unprofessional I have called this school so many times, only to get excuses and never a call back.Example: My son, his cousin and his friends was in the office for having an argument with three other students. I was called by an assistant principal that said that they would be suspended for three days for that. While in the office, the other three boys jumped on my cousin and my son and his friend went to help. Per the principal the other boys was locked in another office. How can they get out to jump on someone if they were locked in another office? He could not explain that. He could not explain anything to me. The principal never called me about the fight, didn't send home paperwork or anything. Now, this morning they told me my son has to go to alternative school for fighting.I asked the principal why he didn't call me back after the fight. He said that he was doing paperwork. That is not a reason to not call a parent back when something like that happens. I am taking my child out of this trash school with these trash principals and I have filed a complaint with Spring ISD. They need to clean this school up. The other high schools in Spring don't have this problem."

"Its unprofessional...The principal is never there,and have the staff seem to not know what they are doing...When I came to the orientation, it seem like they had structure,discipline, dress code restrictions and ect.That was all just talk.They do not live up to any thing they said on the orientation. The principal, assistant principal, they always like to talk about a situation, so they set up meetings and they are never there for the meetings.Its always an emergency. They never reschedule. They are quick to call you about the things that your child done.Then they got teachers that I don't think even suppose to be teachers.They allowed these students to do things,but the kids end up getting in trouble,because of what the teachers allowed them to do. To be honest I think the school is the way it is,because of the principal.This my first year here as a parent and I've already had two meetings, and the other party of the school didnt attend,didn't bother to reschedule.I've called the school about 7 different times to speak to the principal she is never there. I replaid a message to one of the workers in the office about my child condition, and she told me it would get to her principal and teachers.It didn't get to neither one of them and the result is my daughter get suspended. After Dec.my daughter will not be there..."
