The school encourages parents to be partners in the childs education. I really like how this school has a bilingual program and it helps students to be bilingual. Teachers, staff and Principal are very friendly and have very good communication.

Encantada con el primer año de escuela de mi niña. El programa dual de UTK es excelente y sus 2 profesoras lo son aún más. Mi niña muy motivada por iniciar el próximo año escolar.

Too worried about their prep or missing their prep over what's best for the kids. Not all but certainly quite a few

Some student's get more chances then others while being supported for poor behavior. Not many consequences at this school
Posted: September 2, 2015
average it being nice. School gets plenty of state and federal money, qualify for all these extra programs but still score at the bottom. Time to stop enabling these kids and start pushing them to succeed. Also need parents to support the school rather then blaming them for their child's lack of discipline. I guess that would mean the parents need to learn english...
