I'm writing this review as a substitute who has been working a long term job at this school…read more I've worked for Pasadena ISD for 8 1/2 years. I've been a full time employee, a long term sub, and a sub for a day or two here and there. Pasadena Memorial High School is one of the few schools that I'll regularly work at if I'm available. The staff is friendly and accepting. The students are that I've interacted with have been friendly as well. They have safety as a priority and enforce the rules to make sure that students and staff are in a safe learning/working environment. They have many different sports teams, extracurriculars, and different activities and opportunities for students to excel. They also have a college and career center to help students with dual credit, college, and career opportunities. It's definitely helpful for the students and makes me wish that my school had these kind of programs when I was growing up. I've seen and worked at a lot of schools in Pasadena. This is one of my favorites.

This school is very well run and neat and clean. A lot of very interesting Veterans and families.read more

Teachers are extremely overworked and not treated with proper respect, neither are they valued…read more There are kids in this high school that cannot even write legibly and they still graduate from high school. If you are looking for great education, AVOID the PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. They are extremely bureaucratic, slow to change, and students don't get the best education. The district spends too much money trying to accommodate illegal immigrants and they hire assistant teachers for them instead of using their resources wisely to give the students that are US citizens the best education. If you apply for a job, it can take months to finalize the application process. The Human Resources department is not responsive. They simply don't care. The administrators just work for the paycheck. Aside from the beautiful new building, I cannot imagine a reason why anyone would want to go to this school. The students are overstressed with too much technology and have no physical books. The school knows that the students cannot learn as well without books, but they still don't care to do anything about it. Teachers cannot teach creatively because they have so much administrative work. The school district does not respect employees limits, boundaries, or personal time. it is common for teachers to work, evenings, weekends, holidays, and while on vacation. I cannot recommend this school district to anyone.

The whole system for how children get home -- bus riders, car riders, etc, is *not* change-of-plans-friendly, but I suppose that's the world we live in now. My kids are happy, and engaged. Thumbs up.

I had a concerning experience with Denise at the daycare. She approached me about an incident where…read moremy daughter was bitten, she displayed an unprofessional attitude, insinuating that I was being 'double-sided' and suggesting that my child was to blame for the incident. Despite my explanation that my daughter was merely curious and did not provoke the situation, Denise's response was dismissive and lacking in empathy. It's disheartening to feel as though a caregiver is indifferent to a child's well-being, and I believe addressing this behavior is crucial for creating a supportive environment for both parents and children at the daycare. In addition to my experience with Denise, I also noticed that the toddler teachers seem overwhelmed with the number of children under their care. My final straw was witnessing my daughter's hair being pulled and her being dragged down without any acknowledgment or apology from Natalie, one of the Directors . It was alarming to see such an incident go unnoticed by the staff, and it left me questioning why my daughter seems to dread going to school. The lack of communication and accountability is deeply concerning, especially when it comes to the safety and well-being of the children. It's disheartening to be met with smiles while legitimate concerns are overlooked. I believe addressing these issues, including the staff-to-child ratio and the need for better communication and supervision. I am deeply concerned that if one of the directors has the audacity to speak to me in such a dismissive manner, then they may also have the power to influence how teachers handle parental concerns. It's troubling to think that legitimate worries expressed by parents could be overlooked or dismissed by those in positions of authority. A culture of dismissiveness from leadership can trickle down and affect how staff members interact with parents and address concerns. It's essential for the daycare's management to foster an environment of respect, accountability, and open communication, starting from the top down. Parents entrust their children's well-being to the daycare, and it's imperative that this trust is respected and upheld at all levels of the organization. Mrs Alejandra and Mrs.Sinclair are great teachers in her class but something just isn't right about the administration.

Both of my toddlers (5 & 4 years) attend this school, and the amount of material both of them have…read morelearned is amazing. The teachers and staff are very knowledgeable and they genuinely care about the kids they teach. The curriculum that is taught here, will put my kids above what other public school children are learning, which makes me feel good. I definitely will recommend this school to any parents of children who are not of school age, to get a head start in their learning. The benefits to your child's education, will definitely out way any other school or daycare. I also wanted to extend a big thanks to Mrs. Nassarin, for all the hard work that she has done for my kids. All of the staff and teachers do a great job with children's education.
