Golbow is a good school. I am pleased with ehe level of education the children are getting.

This is my child's second year at Golbow, for the most part I am pleased with education my child is receiving, however I have to agree with one of the parents above I don't feel they treat the students with respect. My child is young (2nd grader) and I feel he had more of his fair share of teachers getting

If the infraction is important enough to send home a card everyday with a check mark on it the least they can do is tell me what happened or what it is for so that us as parents can properly discipline our children.

I have had 2 daughters who go to Golbow and I have heard odd statements from both children. I have verified this with other parents who have their own children in this school. A complaint was made with no results. Let's see if it has changed this year.

This school is lacking professionalism to say the least. The teachers and faculty treat children like their criminals in jail. They scold kids and punish them before they even do anything wrong.

Golbow is overcrowded. This accounts for a majority of the problems that we've noticed, such as low morale, poorly supervised teachers, and a lack of teacher professionalism. While the school might receive some relief in the next year, the district seems to 'overlook' this school on a regular basis when

We were concerned about our school and after we enrolled our child in another school the problems continued. The new school noted the difficulities in obtaining records from Golbow. The principal is very approachable and kind. She is wonderful to work with, but everyone under her is difficult and unaccountable. There is a lack of organization and a huge reluctance to work in general. This is not the 'Katy' school that you want to spend your tax dollars on. Read less
