Can't wait to take my child out this school some of the teachers are bully's and they allow bullying here . If you care about your child's well being don't bring them here. Schools are really not the same as they were years ago with good teachers and a safe environment.

My children attended this school for several years, and I wish to express my profound appreciation for their positive experiences during that time. The staff, including the receptionist, principals, teachers, cafeteria personnel, and coaches, demonstrated exceptional care and commitment. It is evident that there is effective communication, organization, and a genuine interest in supporting students, all of which are truly remarkable.
In comparison, my children have also been enrolled in a private school and Lee Elementary, where they currently attend. The experiences at these institutions have been significantly less favorable due to issues with organization during student pick-up, communication, discipline, the handling of complaints, educational quality, and support for students, among other concerns.
I would like to extend my gratitude to the entire team at John Haley for providing my children with a superior educational experience during their years of attendance at this school.
To the principal, I offer my congratulations on your exemplary leadership. I commend your dedication and hard work, as you consistently manage various responsibilities while maintaining open lines of communication with parents.

Wonderful experience at this school. Both of my kids excelled here, I have kept them here and they have been transfers for 3 yrs now. The teachers are wonderful and really strive to help students be successful. I have no complaints.

I am the principal of JHE. Currently, I live in Bedford but choose to bring my daughter to John Haley because of how much I believe in what staff does for the students here. We have received five distinctions from the Texas Education Agency.

Some not all the teachers and counselors and more concerned with what's going on in the students home. Maybe a child is just having a bad. Instead they ask question that should not be ask to a child.
I think they need to concentrate teaching the students and stay out of what's going on in the home.

We transferred to John Haley because of it's 3 time exemplary rating by TEA. My two children really struggled the first semester because they were behind academically. The teachers were very firm, but consistant. At first, I was not happy, but then realized that the teachers wanted to help my children. I observed the classes during lunch several times a month. I have never seen such patient teachers and staff. I was shocked at some of the behavior they have to handle daily. Both teachers (1st grade and 4th grade) offered free afterschool tutoring and kept in contact weekly via email. By December, both children were on level. My firstgrader came in at a Prek reading level and was on level in December. She actually was advanced by the end of the year. They loved their teachers. The teachers worked hard to make my children feel special and successful. We hope to be approved for a transfer again next year.

This school is horrible. One time my son got bullied, and got a black eye and scars all over him and the teachers said nothing and did nothing. The teachers are so rude. That parking lot and cafeteria is so horrible I can't handle it, you might as well feed my child dirt. I now send my child to Thomas Haley. Best choice I have ever made in my life.
