All three of my kids went here. My youngest two currently attend. I have never had any problems with this school. I feel that the school, principal , teachers, and front desk staff are excellent. They communicate properly and they are all very helpful with the many needs of the child and the parent.

Boy were we correct.John Tower tested her

The teachers are nice at Sheppard but nice doesn't cut it when your child is falling behind due to a poor planning on the part of the teachers and school. John Tower also has more programs and parent evolvement than Sheppard. Read less

The principal, Mrs. Myers is a wonderful woman. My son was there for half of 1st and half of 2nd grade. The teachers are okay. I think this school has potential with the new principal. I think she has a great direction for the school. In the meantime if you don't monitor your child's education, you may

Although my child had straight A's the fact that he struggled with some concepts was over looked. I think it would do well for the school to be a little more concerned with progression, and not solely on testing skills, and accountability!!! Read less

This school does not care about the children that attend it and are just trying to get rid of any and all transfers. They don't take the time to involve the parents even upon the parent's request. I am highly disappointed in this school and would not recommend that any child be enrolled here. Being

I moved here on Sheppard AFB in November 2004, we moved here from Fort Hood Texas. I'm very dissapointed in this school. The teachers are, to put it bluntly, it seems they are here for the paycheck only. When my son is struggling in class most of his teachers seem like oh well the rest of the kids

Not to metion there is no academic programs at this school for its 5th and 6th grade students,at least they have a choir , but if your child can't sing well guess what he can't be a member? No sports available here. My opinion 4th 5th &6th graders have nothing to look forward to. I compared it to other schools off the base. My children will be attending 05/06 off base. Read less
