Ralph Parr Elementary School

They aren't capable of dealing with difficult students. Sent a 5 year old to aep for getting into tussle with others. No support from staff. Substitute teacher was the pusher but the whole system fails its students. Kicked him out. First ever 5 year old to attend aep. No time for troubled youth in ccisd.

It's probably average but I never had homework as a kid and I often wonder if the common standard of sending home work is taking away from kid's need for play time. For us, math homework is a breeze and is one, two-sided worksheet that takes about 20 minutes. Two days per week is a reading and writing assignment that takes us anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes per week. Then tack on an extra 15 minutes of additional reading every night.

Parr works very hard to teach the kids respect, integrity, good citizenship and a sense of community.

We've had a great experience at Parr. The principle is very involved and the teachers so far have been great. Honestly, I've never known a class to not have some students act out but the teachers seem to be able to get it under control quickly. I'm not sure what the other posts are talking about when they say there's no discipline, there is only so much a teacher can do. Parents teach their kids how to behave, period.

I believe this school is excellent, teachers are wonderful they truly care, office staff is always nice, school nurse calls me immediately if anything happens to my child and the school principal is involved, cares and has a big impact on this school.
I am not sure why some of the reviewers mention discipline. There are some kids in my child's class that have discipline problems but frankly that is solely the parents fault, it is NOT the responsibility of the teacher.
Ever heard of the saying, your child when you are not around, is a direct reflection of you, I believe this 100%.
The parking comment, okay yes the first day of school and school events are some what of a nightmare and even one random day I took my child to school as a car rider and I was cut off by not 1 parent but 2! I cannot blame the school for this therefore I give the school a 5.

The teachers have been great with working with my GT child who is painfully quiet and struggles with social interactions

There is absolutely zero discipline in this school. The kids are out of control. The teachers do what they can but the administration doesn't back them up. I'm afraid for my child to attend with the lack of discipline.

Great school and staff. Well rounded curriculum. Wonderful service learning program. My daughter is in 4th and it's her first year there. She is very happy. School itself is new, clean and broken into pods which she loves. Teachers also team teach which I like.

we love Parr! The teachers really care, and the principal is outstanding and very involved. The PTA hosts many events, and the kids are very happy, as am I.

Ralph Parr Elementary is a wonderful school. My oldest son has attended Parr Elem. since the 1st grade and has loved being there, and now is in the 4th grade with no issues. My other two boys are in K, and 1st grade and also loves the school. It's very clean and nice on the inside as well as the outside.
