This week is the inauguration of Barak Obama. I find it very interesting that Mr. Haynes is going to shut the school down and have all the kids watch it. That s all well and good, but did he do that for the Clinton or Bush inaugurations? Hmmm I have also noticed over the past few years that Mr. Haynes

This is not just what I think, believe me, I have asked kids and teachers and they all confirmed it. Mr. Haynes, are you going to mention Presidents Day each year now that Barak is in? An observer.

I have 2 children that attend Converse Elementary, and I have to tell you, this is the worst school that any child can go to. The faculty and Staff are really rude, and they reall don't care about the students. They only care about the TAKS test, and since this is Title1 school, they care about the
... Read more money they earn when the kids are there. Mr Haynes and his assistant are really rude and they never seem to be available for a conference, no matter what time of day you call to schedule one. My daughter use to have all 'A's until she came to Converse.. Now she is barely passing and then her teacher says that she needs to be tested for ADHD. How dare a teacher tell me what my child needs. Someone really needs to reevaluate the credibility of the teachers and staff at this school. Read less

The extracurricluar activities are great incentives for the students at Converse Elementary. Coach O'Bryant volunteers her time and has started a volleyball program, basketball program, jump rope program, cup stacking program, a track and field program, and amily fitness night She is an asset to the
... Read more school. I have never seen an elementary school offer this many programs. I like her way of thinking. If your behavior or grades are not up to par, you do not get to participate. However, if you get them back up, you can participate. What an incentive for the kids to keep on track. Most of the teachers at Converse are excellent. The administration is very hard to deal with. They are inconsistent with some of their administrative decisions. The Vice Principal, Ginger Jose, is very unprofessional. She literally 'gossips' with her secretary, Yolie, about students, teachers and parents in the main office area. Unprofessional. Read less

My child has attended CE for 2 years and we are absolutely confident in the school administration and staff! The teachers go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure students grasp studies and take the 'No Child Left Behind' beyond the Taks!! Thank you CE for your lifelasting contribution to society!!!

I am a mother of 2 students at Converse Elementary. I am extremely dissatisfied with the adminstration and faculty at this school. They are always in defense mode and treat parents like they are inferior. It is a joke to even try and deal with Mr. Haynes or Mrs. Green. They come across as being on
... Read more some kind of power trip. Their discipline methods are very inconsistent and unfair. They do not effectively address the problem students and issues, but then they turn around and make a huge deal over something that is normal little kid behavior. If Ms. Jose could be principal we might could see some vast improvements but until then...Good Luck with this school and tell your kids that they cannot be kids! Read less

I am a parent of both a current student and a former student at Converse and I have been extremely disappointed with this school. I am treated as a nuisance by the teachers and office staff.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with my child at Converse. The teachers are friendly and highly qualified, especially the Kindergarten team.

I have had the hardest time with this school. My son is in kindergarten and this should be a very rewarding and exciting time for him but the staff at this school have made it a miserable time for myself and my son. I am a stay at home mom and want to be involved in my kids' education but this school
... Read more makes it next to impossible to even know what is going on. It was very difficult to ever get in to have a conference with either of the principals. In fact, I never hear back from them when I call to schedule a meeting with them. I never hear anything from the school, including notes in my child's folder, phone calls or report cards unless it is something negative. There needs to be more communication in general with parents and definitely more positive communication. Read less

We just moved to Converse Elementary from North Carolina a month ago. I researched schools online and found this one to had some of the highest scores (state ratings) in the San Antonio area so we thought it would be perfect for our kids since they are both above the learning curve. We were disappointed

Both of my kids loved school before we moved here but now I have to fight to get them out the door in the morning because they don't want to go. It is a very strict environment and there isn't much hands on or inventive learning activities. The principal is very rude and won't listen to the parents at all. Read less
