The teachers are wonderful but the principal is trying to do to much herself. The school is very organized and the kids know what they are suppose to do. I think it's great! My kids have been here for 5 years and there has been such a change over the last couple of years but there still needs more

I have five grandchildren at Casey and I will tell you that the best thing about the school is the Teacher quality. Most of the Teachers at this school are excellent. My greatest concern is about safety, however, in that pick-up after school is done in a way that, it is more important to keep the traffic

Sometimes, children are late coming out, which also adds to the backup of traffic for picking up children. Even when I have picked up children from the school office, I have never been asked to see an ID. An office staff member is very rude, to the children & adults...when children are not picked up on time. This school lacks after school programs. Read less

My children have been at Casey for several years and I'm ready to get out(so are they). When we first started looking at schools, I was all for Casey. I had heard it was a good school and that's what I wanted for my children. Well, now I just can't wait to get out of there! The principal is not at

The teachers at Casey do an amazing job. The district has cut funding for summer school, tutoring and a number of other programs so any tutoring given by teachers is provided by school funds or the teacher just going the extra mile. My daughter is a struggling reader, but her first grade teacher spent

The parent involvement is very low with regards to PTA, etc. There are only a few really great teachers available at this school. I feel comfortable with the safety of the campus. The music teacher (Mr. Finkle) is wonderful, but of course the children don't get enough of the arts like all public schools.

The staff and teachers at Casey have an emphasis on parent involvement at all levels. There is a 'team' environment that involves the student, each of the students teachers and the parents. This has created a very comfortable atmosphere for my child.

I think you can count the good teachers with one hand. The principal is not really friendly even though that she tries. Every year the traffic gets worst and the new traffic patterns do not work. Music teacher (Mr. Finkle) is awesome!

Casey Elementary is a safe learning environment. We have been lucky with all of our son's teachers through the third grade. Some other teachers we have heard about...well, we would not want our son in their class. They do not tolerate bullying, which is a major plus. Academically the problems with

Read more Casey are systemic throughout all the public schools--the object seems to be to make sure every child meets certain minimum criteria instead of striving for every child to do the best that they can. Our son loved his teacher, was liked by his classmates, did exceptional on his report cards, commendable on the TAKS test and he still asked us to find him a new school because 'they do the same thing over and over again.' ON the bright side, the music teacher is excellent and the art teacher is good. hope this helps. Read less
