Many of the veteran teachers have been here forever. Rather than learning what they need to learn about teaching a variety of children, they blame the kids. There is nothing wrong with the kids. Get some open minded, growth oriented teachers of all ages, colors and backgrounds. Scores of blacks, boys, special ed, and Hispanics will shoot up. Read less

This school has been a major disappointment for my family. We had heard all of these great things about. Bottom line...if all you care about is test scores, and if your child falls somewhere in the middle of the achievement continuum this is the school for you. If you are a special ed student and

But not of r our children. A fantastic school for children who fall solidly in the middle of the bell curve. It is all about the TAKS.

I have a long history with Ramano Bang Elementary. My daughter started at Bang. She is now in High School. My son, who is 4th grade now, started at Bang. They had a wonderful experience and continues to have great experience. The teachers made time to meet with me and work with me to help my kid's education.

They are always willing to step in to offer support and assistance throughout the year. The teachers are wonderful and 'under-paid'. This is a great elementary school. Great discipline. Great teachers (all of them), including the front office staff and the cafeteria staff. Read less
