3095W Plan in Johnson Ranch 55' by PERRY HOMES
Bulverde, TX 78163

I despise this school. The racism is a culture here. The faculty know about it Ava tears it like oh it’s kids being kids. Worse school ever! Definitely filing law suit!

Everytime I walk into the bathroom during lunch I see an AP looking under the stalls... Certain teachers (AP Bio) just give students a ton of busy work and labs and expect students to learn from it they do NO lectures. A few weeks ago a raccoon got loose into the school and it took so long for teachers to get the raccoon out like how do you have a raccoon get loose in a high school. Most of the bathrooms are used to smoke and it reeks. maybe the school should worry more about stopping kids from smoking rather than being worried about us being on our phones. One day I tired to get ice during lunch for my toe which I had gotten surgery on a few weeks before and was in a boot for about 6 weeks, when I asked to get ice the AP refused and said I could go 5 minutes early my class was way too far to get to the nurse and back in 5 minutes.

As a former teacher, I am flabbergasted at the way this school operates. Johnson Ranch is very overpopulated, and the school is run like a corporation. There is no community feel, just a small group of women who are socially connected to principal and they receive priority through all things involved with the school. The principal has little to no oversight of what is actually taking place, but at least she is proud of her new rolling desk. The principals don’t know the names of their own students, transportation is a nightmare, and the only focus is to keep pushing the kids through the system. Children are given a number at the beginning of each year so they can be identified by the administrators when they need it. It was heartbreaking to see this in the public, as those students identify themselves with this number while writing their name at a local orthodontist office on their artwork. There are regular “catch up” hours and days, forcing teachers to spend extra time on those who should be held back. Students really advance in their scores past 2nd grade, they simply all stay within one blob of “meets criteria” so the administrators all get their bonus. From a safety aspect, there are portable classrooms that have regular cockroach issues, an access fence that was torn down for the entire 2024 Spring without supervision, and little to no supervision of students. Attempting to get involved and help is a massive challenge, as the PTA holds meetings at 9 AM on a work day. This keeps community involvement to a minimum, and allows the machine to keep rolling. I would consider a school outside of Johnson Ranch Elementary if other options are available.
