Whitney E. Houston Academy Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-11-03 “This school is a stepping stone on my children's path to success. The teachers have helped to solidify the foundation that was already laid out from home. My children have done outstanding work under the guided leadership of the administration and the teachers. I love this school and would recommend it to anyone, especially for the arts.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-10-30 “My daughter attended this school for the 1st grade and for 3 weeks for the 2nd I found there was alot of older childern powering over the small childern and there was not alot of order in this schoole small childern are subjected to alot of things they are too young to see I transfered my daughter to another school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-05-05 “This school is very below standards. It doesn't prepare out children to achieve greatness. Our children cannot compete with children around the globe. Two of my children attend this poor performing school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-01-06 “my child goes there it is a exelent school” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-11-14 “I like this school alot, It has a free afterschool program that many East Orange Schools didn't have especially for single moms that need those types of programs” Posted By: student Quality Score: 1 2007-07-10 “I am sorry to admit this school wasn't a walk in the park for my son Denzel. The teachers very much slacked their job. The science fair projects were a disgrace. My son did not enjoy his 6th grade year here but we are hoping 7th to be the best.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 1 2007-07-10 “I was a new student to Houston and at first i liked it but it started to get worse. There was no one-on-one help and i got left behind real easily. My mother moved out the district so i could go to another middle school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-06-19 “I am a parent of a kindergarten student, as well as the wife of a teacher. I feel that the teachers at Whitney, for the most part, care about the students. Ms. Moore-Becker and Ms. Thomas, have kept my daughter, who started the year advanced for her age group, engaged and forever learning. Her desire to please her teachers, is yet another motivation for her to excel. I pray that the teachers at Whitney will be able to continue to offer such dedication to their students with the possibility of increased class size due to the multiple layoffs. My daughter has learned in a year, to write in complete sentences, and to write a paragraph. Proud Parent” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2007-02-22 “Im a new student since September at Whitney E. Houston academy. Whitney Houston Academy is one of the most excellent school in East Orange. The teachers and cool and you learn a lot! Its Fun! My teachers are the best, speacialy Ms.Newby that is the dance teacher.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2005-09-07 “Very interesting mix of learning.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2005-05-31 “I used to attend Whitney Houston(Franklin School) scince kindergarden. Personally I feel that this school is excellent! I was a dance major in the dance toupe under the direction of Mrs. Newby-Reynolds. The activities there are terrific.The teachers I have had, have great teaching skills, they have truly helped me alot in high school.Whitney Houston challenges your ability. They make you work your brain. There has been many great outcomes from any student that graduates from that school. You can make many friends there. I really do miss that school” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-01-26 “I had two older sons who attended Houston Academy when it was Franklin Elementary. The Principal Mr. Hamilton, the staff and teachers are concerned about the students who attend. I now have another son Jordan who is in the 8th grade and will graduate this year (2005). He has attended Houston since 1st grade. The teachers are great and very passionate about the subjects they teach. My son's favorite subjects are social studies and drama. He also likes physical education and Language. Although there's always room for improvement you'll find a great support staff and parents (PTA) that are always willing to go that extra mile. I highly recommend Whitney Houston Academy. I'm going to miss everyone there when my son graduates. Keep up the good work Houston!”
