Tapp Middle School
Houston: Although this school has had problems in the past. Dr. Dority and her staff are turning the school around. My child is a sixth grader and she is very happy. I am also very pleased with the school. She is an honor roll student. Her teachers are great. They communicate well with me and post grades almost daily. Parents who are involved with their child will see success at Tapp. It is all about putting the time in with your child

i think that tapp middle school is one of the best schools ever built and i give my special props to my principal Dr. dority and i think the tapp scholars should show more appreciation for our teachers and principals than we do.yeah we might have a fight or too once in a whil but they take care of it and every school has a bad student its just the way they express there self. once again i would really like to think Dr. Dority for showing us the love and care that we need.
