Supporting teachers, I feel welcome and comfortable to send my son here, I never had a problem with anyone there and they provide lots of activities for both parents and students.
As a former student who graduated in 1996 the school then was fine. All schools have there problems. But now, there is no way I would send my kid to this institution! The school looks bad and down right out dated. It's sad to see the school I attended and had so much mustang pride for and played football for has turned into what it is today!
Last school year 2005-2006 was the first year for the 'Academies'. The idea behind the Academy is to increase TAKS scores. Aldine High TAKS outcome is still Academically Acceptable. NO real significant progress was made. These Academies only make it easier for the Counselors to make the student's schedule. The student is asked in the ninth grade what profession would they like to pursue. Once the selection is made the student is locked into a particular pathway and is told too bad if they change their minds later. Parents are told its too bad as well. The administration takes advantage of the fact that many parents can not speak English and/or don't know their rights. Over half of the students end up in electives they don't want and can't get out of.It makes one wonder in whose best interest is the Academy idea looking out for. Its a cookie cutter system.
