My daughter has gotten bullied her entire time here. She has gotten her food stolen multiple times by the same child and nothing gets done about it. My child is very smart and want to push her to be even smarter which is a good thing but if they want to grow her they should give something different to learn about so she is not bored in a few months going over things that they have already taught her. The security guard is very lazy and would not be able to protect our children is something did truly happen at the school. They are very unorganized for events.

My son went here for one semester. It was horrible! He was bullied, and nothing was done about it. He had a lazy teacher. Also, the principal was very rude. He is now excelling in a different school district. The only person who seemed to actually care about her job was the secretary in the front office. Some people are just not fit to be teachers / principals!

Scott PYP is a wonderful school! My daughter excels in every aspect! The staff takes the time to get to know parents and students. The curriculum is challenging and rewarding and not just straight from the book, focused on standardized Testing. My daughter enjoys going to school every day and I feel confident every day that she is in the best school for the growth of her education!

My daughter & I moved all the way from WI and relocated to Temple, TX. My daughter started K this year at Scott, and we love the people and her teacher Mrs. Simcik. Our school is much older and quite small but with this win of money would help us out a lot!! Thank you for the consideration!
