    I completely agree with your review. My own experience with the Head of School was very similar in…read moreearly 2000'ss. When one of my three daughters was dismissed just as she was starting to have trouble with her grades, it felt clear that once they decide they no longer want a student there, there's little room for understanding or grace. My oldest daughter actually graduated from this school, which is why I fought so hard to keep the other two enrolled. After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on this school, I would have expected a much higher level of care, compassion, and support from leadership at the time. Hearing about hints of discrimination within the school community is also deeply troubling and disappointing.

    Our experience with the lower school changed significantly once Mrs. Garcia and Mrs. Clayton…read morestepped into their administrative roles. The environment--both for students and teachers--shifted in a way that many families, including ours, found concerning. The biggest issue was the inconsistency and lack of genuine warmth. While the school often emphasized values and faith, the leadership's day-to-day actions didn't match those messages. Interactions frequently felt insincere, and there was a clear pattern of favoritism. Some children were approached with patience and grace, while others received a noticeably harsher tone for the exact same behaviors. As a parent, this was heartbreaking to watch. We also noticed a sharp increase in turnover among both families and lower school teachers during their leadership. When people continue to leave year after year, it naturally raises questions about the internal culture and what may be happening behind the scenes. In the end, we chose to move our child because the environment no longer felt supportive to their well-being, confidence, or growth. My hope is that by sharing our experience, the school will take a closer look at its leadership and the culture that's being shaped under their direction.

    Both my daughters came from Brasil in 2008 and enrolled, the youngest in Middle School & the oldest…read morein High School where they both graduated from. Middle School is absolutely wonderful, my youngest learned English in 1 year and the teachers were very supportive of her. Unfortunately, I can't say the same Dulles High School, where the trouble started. My oldest, not being used to taking TAKS tests, didn't pass the Math and was not allowed to graduate with her class, which made her very upset to the point where she left for Brasil, I convinced her to come back a year later, paid a private tutor to help her and she finally graduated, but the magic was lost and she felt the school was a let down considering all her efforts. Even worse was the case for my youngest daughter, a talented Choir student, first episode: they layed off her favorite and inspirational teacher - Choir, Ms.Wycoff, after that, a door in the choir room fell on her toe breaking it in half and the school did nothing!!! By her Junior year, for Halloween she dyed her hair Pink, and the Assistant Principal, Ms Tara Smith kept after her, despite other people even having Purple hair and she didn't say anything about it. That's very unfair. This woman had to find something to get her, and she did! Caught my daughter and a friend leaving the bathroom with a washable marker which they used to write on the bathroom stall. They were both sent to Ferndell alternative school to pay for what they've done, so I thought. Now, after my daughter is working and in college, the police suddenly arrests her without warning saying that writing on the bathroom stall is a felony and took her to jail! today she has to pay high fines and do community service. She wishes she could use the money to help me at home instead. Anyone can see the unfairness and that the Assistant Principal had it out for my daughter. I think that's a very harsh way to teach a lesson to a High School kid impairing a student who is on the right path.

Over the past two school years, several students and parents have become concerned about repeated unethical behavior that may have affected academic fairness and opportunities for other students. The concerns reported include: Alleged cheating during exams beginning in the 2024 school year. Use of AI tools to complete projects where such tools were reportedly prohibited. Alleged use of a cell phone during STAAR testing in 2025, including claims that test questions were photographed and shared with others. Claims that recommendation letters from teachers could be obtained in exchange for money. Many students have expressed frustration and disappointment because they believe these actions may have unfairly impacted rankings, academic recognition, and admissions opportunities. These concerns have reportedly been brought to the attention of school administration previously, but parents and students feel the matter has not been fully addressed. We respectfully request that Fort Bend ISD conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into these allegations to ensure fairness, accountability, and integrity within the school system. Our intention is not to target any individual unfairly, but to protect the integrity of the academic environment and ensure equal opportunities for all students.

No learning study techniques, no lectures, no support. Just stare at a wall and do pointless worksheets. I never had the opportunity to embrace learning because I was relentlessly reprimanded. Wasn't allowed to join sports or clubs because of my grades, further denying me access to support and mentors. I went to college completely unprepared. Suspended me from the bus for a semester in the first 2 weeks or my freshmen year because they grouped me with other students, had to scramble for rides every morning, as a 14 year old. I was constantly in court for truancy, and because of this I went to bootcamp several times and they even threatened to have my parents arrested. Fees, fines, detentions, suspensions. No counseling or resources. I was an A/B student who never got in trouble in middle school, this school was determined to crush me from the very beginning. This school is a disgrace.
