The worst elementary!!!! The staff has lack of communication with the parents and on top of that they have attitude when when you try and keep in contact with them regarding your childs education. I lost track of how many issues Ive had just within 1 school year. They will not be returning back

Im so impressed with this school! This is my daughters first year here & we are loving it. The principal was so welcoming, she introduced herself & gave us her number in case we had any questions. The staff is super friendly and professional. There is absolutely no traffic at pick ups & drop offs, even though its a busy intersection.

There is alot to say about a school that is Exemplary 3 years in a row. It takes effort from all teachers and students to accomplish this and my child has lived up to the high standards in this school. Great staff, beautiful, clean school and nice students.

This school is garbage just like all the other schools in this city. Every teacher ( except one in my experience) is just incompetent and only teaches to get the summers off. they have no passion for there students or teaching. Can;t wait to leave for my kids sake.

All three of my children attended this school. I have seen many Principals come and go. The current Principal IS too involved in fund raising and teaching to the State Test (TAKS) instead of allowing the Teachers to do their job. The Teachers are great! The Parents are VERY involved. All my childrens' classes always had too many parent volunteers for field trips and events. If the Principal would just allow the Teachers to do their jobs this School would be top in the nation. She also does not allow FULL parent involvement and gives parents a sense of being outsiders.

Not impressed with this school. The Principal only cares about test scores, not children. Most of the teachers are new, and seem lost. There are a few good teachers, but you have to "know someone" to get your child in their class.

This school is a great place for my children. The leadership is great and we have been so excited with the quality of the teachers. They do an excellent job!! Go Dalmations !!
