We have been disillusioned in our 2+ years at Kendall Elementary School. Things seemed to start great - a new to the school teacher who was eager and versatile as well as an open PTO and even lots of easily made friends for the children. Since then we have had indifferent teachers but mostly it is
... Read more the TAKS focus that has such a negative effect on the school. The principal Mrs. Williams focuses on TAKS - daily announcements, letters to parents the whole campaign. Problem with this for us is that our children don't need TAKS help. They are above grade level and hence abandoned in terms of curriculm. GT certification is a fraud that was perpetrated on us.

I have no idea how this school can get such a great rating. Are the teachers writing in under false names? I have been to several schools around the world and I have never dealt with such violence. You would think for such an upscale town the parents would take action. My children get punched at

When asking around to other parents they say yes it's bad but just give it about 2 years and your children will find a click. What is even worse are the drugs. Everyone knows about the drug problem.

Our family's experience was incredibly poor at Kendall - our child lost ground while in special ed (learning disabilities), school personnel refused to implement the IEP (individualized educational plan), responsiveness from some regular ed staff was spotty at best, and blatently ignoring federal law
... Read more (IDEA) was commonplace. Kendall administration was non-responsive as was district administration. A complaint to TEA substantiated several of our concerns, but required of the district changes on paper only. Be prepared to be extremely vigilent if you have a special ed (especially LD) child - you will need to be an outspoken advocate for their needs. Even then, you may find you will need to retain an attorney to ensure that the district complies with federal law. Read less
