Ms. Woods and Ms. Rodgers are the best. My niece went from not reading, 3rd to reading within six months. She can also play the piano by ear. Ms. Woods and Ms. Rodgers provide a structural, warm and loving environment for all of their students. If you have a child with a learning different Preston Hollow is the place to send your child, he or she will get the care and education that they need to be successful in this world.

I moved my daughter here from Oak cliff schools, we started the year with low grades, by the time we ended the school year, we were up to a high B average. The teachers work with the kids and truly demonstrate a passion for their jobs. They give the parents every tool needed to help their child succeed.

Preston Hollow has the BEST teachers on staff. Mrs. Grimm is amazing with her students. She is the Mom of the classroom. Her students love her and the students love all their teachers. Our teachers at Preston Hollow go above and beyond what is required of the job. It's not a job for them it's a passion and it speaks volumes.

My child has never been overwhelmed or underwhelmed with homework while attending Preston Hollow. We have the perfect balance of homework and extra curricular activities at Preston Hollow.

As an IB candidate school this is the theme of Preston Hollow. Each student is held accountable and each student is given the opportunity to convey their thoughts and feelings. Every child is offered and encouraged to participate and grow in their own educational processes.

In my opinion Preston Hollow is the jewel of DISD. Preston Hollow is very much involved in seeing that your child receives the best education available. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to help each student reach their maximum potential. From day one we were met with caring staff and questions for how they could improve our experience. I absolutely love this school.

Our children have been in two schools rated 9's and 10's since we left PHE several years ago, and I can definitely say that the education they recieved at PHE was as good, if not better, as that at these higher-rated schools. (We also know first hand of PHE children testing very high when going into other schools.) I guess you could say that PHE is somewhat deficient because it does not have all of the resources (e.g., science labs, after school programs, etc.) that the higher-rated schools have. But if the children are learing to read, write, and do math at a high level, they will be to learn anything. And from my children's perspective, they did not see PHE as deficient. They enjoyed their time there and made many good friends. (They also think the PHE's Field Day is the best.) PHE is definitely a little gold nugget in DISD.

My daughter is currently attending Preston Hollow. When I changed jobs two years ago I moved her to a private school closer to where I worked and I quickly realized that was a huge mistake. It literally set her back a year. Fortunately, the teachers at Preston Hollow were willing to work with her to bring her up to speed and she is now excelling in most subjects. In comparison to her peers, she is well above average and I attribute that to the taching staff of PHES. The PTA is phenominal and has provided the students with enrichment opportunities, computer lab equipment, software to help the children with their standardized test and so much more. These are things that most public schools don't have or can not afford because of the budget cuts. Our Principal was recently awarded Principal of the year, our couselor has received the Golden Apple award and the children are performing at or above recognized status. The music department is phenominal and extremely diverse, whcih is something I can appreciate. Overall, PHES is Great School that we will sincerely miss after next year.
