Univ of Houston Charter School-Tech Reviews

This is a very poor example of a facility intended for the education of children and should quickly be placed under a microscope by the University. In the five years that I had my child in this school, the school administrator changed 4 times and some of the best teachers left, two of them in the middle of the semester. Although they are equipped with many resources such as the student to computer ratio mentioned by another parent, it certainly doesn't make up for the huge gaps of knowledge my child had.... a shocking degree of missing basic concepts. This from a very involved and hands on parent. You need attend only one school event to observe how unorganized and what a lack of cohesiveness the school exhibits. The pluses were the student to teacher ratio and cultural diversity of the student body.

UH Charter is a great school! Dr. Black is a caring and great educator. She invested time and energy to make sure the students had the best possible education. UH Charter is a great school!

I agree with the previous post. This is certainly one of Houston's best kept secrets. Two of my children have attended this school and I would recommend it to any parent serious about their child's education but not interested in paying private school fees for the same results. I am thankful that my spouse happened upon this oasis of learning and parental support in Houston. In the end, good parenting and a good school will produce an excellent student. U of H Charter School is a winner.

I am currently a parent of two students that attend the school. Since the school is fairly new, ten years ago, one should expect changes in administration. The school ranks high according the State Exams and being a very picky parent---I also give it high ranks. This is a school that encourages parent involvement and also expects administration to be just as involved as the parents. This is Houston's best kept secret.

We took our daughter out a few years ago because of the chaotic leadership and inconsistency in quality of their teaching staff. We were worried when high quality teachers would disappear. The turn over rate at this school was and still is high for such a small school. Parent involvement was always high and we thought that was wonderful. However, there were too many unpleasant principal/parent confrontations. This was the biggest let down for us. This school is supposed to follow a 'Constructivist' philosophy, it does not.

We left this school several years ago to seek a stronger, more traditional environment. The best thing about the school, was that our boys learned to be independent and are good decision makers.//

The University of Houston Charter School is an outstanding elementary school. The principal has assembled a talented, dedicated staff that care about the needs of the individual student. The physical plant of the school is outstanding. The instructional resources are superior to the most expensive private schools in Houston. They have a student to computer ratio of about 1.5 to 1. An outstanding staff, facility, and instructional materials combined under outstanding leadership results in an outstanding elementary school.
