My daughter started grade one late in the year (October) Her teacher made her transition seamless. She was buddied up with a friend so she didn't have to play alone, she was made queen for the day. At the end of the day she felt so positive about her first day. Her teacher also prepared all the children

We were relocated to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and, after much research, chose to purchase a home across the street from Hidden Lakes Elementary. We could not be happier with the school! Our children have attended HLES for 3 years and have thrived in the environment created by teachers and administrators.

One word of caution concerning bullying at HLE. Just because one personally did not experience bullying at HLE does not mean that it did not happen. It happened for several years to several children. I am glad that you personally did not have to deal with any issue like that nor do I wish it on anyone.
... Read more As for BCI as a parent I have listened to a lot of people concerning BCI and I agree with you and I would not just dismiss your experience/opinion with BCI just because I personally did not experience BCI myself. We have taken percautions and our child is not going to BCI because of issues just like you stated. I agree with you about HLE teaches way too much to the TAKS. School starts and kids are already stroking out about TAKS. The pressure is just too much on these kids. Read less

I was a little surprised to read what some said about their child being bullied. Wait until they hit BCI (a school that I do not recommend) The staff and teacher are amazing. My child MISSES this school!! There is a very loving atmosphere. I am very picky, the only thing that is wrong is that recently

Unfortuantely I am not good with the written word so I cannot describe how fantastic this school really is. Read less

Office staff and teachers are dedicated, friendly, overall great. Admininistration is lacking and are clearly focused on the TAKs test and attendance, not the individual student. Administration seems to have forgotten that they are overseeing a school of children in grades K-4. Administration is not

Again, the teachers are great, just seems that administration road blocks them all the time.

Wow! What a great learning environment for our children - great parent involvement, great PTA, great resources for children needed extra help, fantastic staff. Can't say enough. The chaos in the lunchroom is more than needed, but that is all relative in a school this size. Although it is a large school,
