I have mixed feelings about this school. The G/T program is nothing more than assigning extra work for the child which is truly disappointing. Also, just like all the other schools in The Woodlands, teachers are pressured by admin. to teach to the TAKS. The goal is to obtain or retain an exemplary rating. This is nothing new and we all know it happens across the state. Furthermore, the school tries to keep parental involvement to a minimum unless one is part of the PTA which is somewhat perplexing......these children are in 5th/6th grade! On the other hand, the teachers, at least the ones we've had contact with, seem to be concerned with the child's academic progress and overall well being. The principal is outstanding and quick to address questions or concerns. The fine arts program is top notch. Bottom line: There is good and bad anywhere.

The BULLIES are out of control! Mitchell's bullying prevention PowerPoint is a very ineffective way to stop the harassment. The administration needs to look beyond the PowerPoint and personally supervise the LC classroom exchanges and playground time. Unfortunately, these areas have become the breeding grounds for the bullies. Reducing bullying in our schools reflects an improved school environment that is friendly and welcoming to all students. In schools where children feel protected from bullying, they are free to spend their days learning, building friendships, and dreaming about all the possibilities for their lives, but not here at Mitchell. In contrast, we cannot say enough great things about Mitchell's hard-working counselors and teachers. They are quick to respond positively and are genuinely concerned about all issues related to our child. Our teachers keep us updated with daily assignment websites and send constant schedule and project e-mail reminders. Tip: 'Parents Get Involved!'.

The LCs do not keep up with the website postings for the kids homework and progress reports. They depend on this system, but yet do not maintain it. It is very frustrating and has made it very difficult for my wife and I to manage. We have made several complaints about this and we get the 'we do our best' and 'we try to teach kids to be responsible for their own schedule'. Its easy if you have an organized child - but if you need to help your child stay on top of things, the school sets you up for failure. In my opinion this one downfall ruins the reputation of this school. The teachers are very good other than that and overall we are happy with the school.
