Im going to give my in depth experience and review of Pin Oak for leaving for high school at the end of the year.Im in my last year at Pin Oak as a C house student, and Ive had such a great time here. The students are diverse and generally want to do well in class, the atmosphere is great, and Ive made many close friends here. The teachers are also good at their job(especially the 7C cluster), and are supportive and rational. Of course, there are a few teachers I didnt like but that goes for every school. The workload isnt overwhelming, although there was a big difference compared to elementary school. If a student does stay up late to finish their homework, its probably because of poor time management(that I admit Im guilty of), however you do get a lot of homework in 8th grade. The sports and arts programs are wonderful, and Ive met some of my favorite teachers in the art department! Going back to the homework issue, I have stayed up until 2 am at times trying to finish homework but if your child doesnt push away their work until the last minute, theyll be fine and that wont happen. The grades the students have typically stay in the upper 80s-90s, and many students have grades in the upper 90s and even 100s. Because of this, you may think that teachers just give really easy work and dont teach us anything, but its actually because the teachers are great and really care for a students grades and how theyre doing in school. They want to make sure their students are learning and not just sitting in class doing nothing.All in all, Pin Oak is a really good school with a great student body, teachers, and curriculum, and I highly recommend new students to come here, especially house C!

Great school. Pay attention in class and you will do great. The teachers and staff are very supportive and the hallways and classrooms are always clean. There can be a lot of homework, but as long as you dont procrastinate too much youll be fine.

My husband and I returned to New York today on a plane filled with Pin Oak Middle School Choir and Band members and I wanted to congratulate the students and staff traveling with them for their exemplary behavior and polite manners! We were serenaded with a beautiful Thank You song before we landed. You should be very, very proud of the ambassadors of your school! I hope that the students have a wonderful experience in New York City!Nancy and Price Manford

Best three years of my life. Got bullied a couple times, but thats just me. If you find a group to hang out with, its fine and you will get along. I was in band, and soccer. Part of the 2012 perfect season soccer team as well and class of 2012. End of Year Activities were also epic. Teachers there are also very nice, and supportive. Havent visited it since, but Im dying to go there again one day.

This is my first year! My teachers are very nice and supporting. 10% bad kids and classrooms are very clean. Many classes to be in! Clubs are fun!! Go Chargers!!😃💙🐴

Its been 7 years I have graduated from this amazing school. I was full prepared when i headed to high school. Great school, great teachers.

This school has amazing teachers and an exemplary staff. The students are very well mannered and have great test scores to prove it

Its an ok school. Most of the teachers are encouraging and helpful. They know how to help you prepare for high school. One or two teachers are a bit racist, so be careful of that. Shout-out to Mrs. Woodard, Dr. Fong, Mrs. Fujiwara, as well as Ms. Hsu for guiding me through my middle school years!PS, C House is the best ;)

Using my knowledge from my 3 years in Pin Oak, I can securely say that Ive had many great teachers. Some were harsh, but they knew how to teach anyways. One problem I faced was harassment from students. It was not bullying because I wasnt picked on by the same student, different students have been mean to me. Being a teenager is when you feel the most sensitive to insecurity, so POMS needs to take care of this. Also after graduating, I realized that some of my peers were depressed(I did not know then because people with depression tend to hide it), even suicidal. We never had an intervention on mental health. I recommend to have a Advocacy based on this. I have one more concern, Ms Butler gets the job done, but she is way too rude. Im saying that Pin Oak should fire her, but she needs to understand that shes dealing with pubescent kids, kids that are going to changes. They are in a fragile state, and I honestly had a fear of her. Everyone feared her, it was big talk to say you had her gym class. You should not be afraid of a gym teacher or any teachers! I hope someone working at Pin Oak reads this.

Alright, so im going to start off my review with the academics of Pin Oak. Pin Oak doesnt have the best academics, but shines in other places like electives. Also, Pin Oak has a vast selection of electives including things that you wouldnt even imagine such as: comic book, reee, writing elective, and lets not forget the mega ree. In conclusion my words to describe pin oak would be that it is a good school and has a wide elective choice, but there are other schools that can maintain higher academics but will have a lower elective choice. Choose wisely, as that is 3 years of your life you wont get back.

This is good school. They are trying there best for students.

I was constantly being put down by coach butler in my 7th Grade expierence. I personally do not reccomend staying in her class, switch out at all costs. She called me short, midget, stupid, a dumbass, and a retard

This schools policies are corrupt. They are unclear about their rules and the students have no say in anything. I have only gotten more depressed and miserable the longer Ive been here. DO NOT come here

I really dislike the teachers (most of them) and a teacher has beef with me for no reason

My daughter goes here and she loves it

I can xx nm 😁ee

Kids do goos work

Great teachers, especially the sciences.

HORRIBLEThe students over there are extremely racist and vulgar because when I went here they were calling me a beaner and a wetback and they were telling me to go back to Mexico

Called me a cracker and I became clinically depressed.

I went here it was alright, but if you go here you have to find a group where you fit in.CLASS OF 2013!!!!!!!!!

Never been there before but it is a beautiful school

Enjoyed the presenters.

I like Mr Gomez
