"Enrollment will probably suffer this year due to the lack of vision of the principal in making cuts of some of the most popular programs and hardest working teachers. This school will suffer drastically as long as the SIO and the district ignore all the calls for sanity in decisions made at BJHSC. The superintendent should stop denying knowledge of any existing problems at the school as he did on Radio 102"

"i just graduated from jordan high. i wounldn't recommend anybody to go to this school. i graduated in the top 30% of my class because of one teacher. the school really needs alot of changes the principle has no idea what shes doing the teachers have just givin up on the stuents. majority of the classes aren't runned by the teacher the students run the classes because the teachers don't know how to teach bad children, the children don't respect anyone there so if you are a parent don't send your child to that school"

"I have read the reviews of BJ and can honestly say that I can do nothing but agree that this school has dramatically changed within a short time. Most teachers are not properly organized to provide a curriculum to the students that will really teaches them instead of just preparing for TAKS. As a sophomore here at BJ I experienced first hand of how difficult it is for me to learn the subjects in which the last 2 to 3 weeks at the end of every six weeks we go over nothing but TAKS subjects."

"I am now a senior at Barbara Jordan and I still feel like it's the best school in H.I.S.D. Changes need to be made for as the extra cirruclar activities and maybe now even the security. The level of parent involvement is poor but that's no one fault but the parent's. If the student's really want things to change that should get there parents involved. Talented 07' Senior"
