Water Oak

This school has something fundamentally wrong with it. It has to be the worst school in Austin.

Barely 2 weeks in and bullying from 2 jealous girls has begun for this midterm transferred in 6th grade girl, the verbal profanity filled threats of bodily assault to take place in the restroom) substitute female teacher in class heard and failed to take action against the bully girl trespassing (not even from that class, but her bully friend is). Graffiti also observed on backside of Paredes MS sign. Paredes MS is the neighborhood’s assigned school with busing, is the only reason for the transfer to here. Now sorely regretting the transfer with added stress and fears these bullies will do what they do best!

I have two children at the school. My older child has received all his special education services and his team has communicated well with me and my husband both. He has blossomed at this school and I appreciate the care everyone takes to make him feel confident and included. My younger child consistently tell me year after year how much he loves his teachers and classmates. The school is large but warm, welcoming, and supportive. It is rigorous but still fun. Overall I am well aware of how public school funding in Texas has drastically declined and I must acknowledge I can see that in class sizes among other things but I don’t find it unique to Blazier and have been grateful to the stability of the school in our time here. There are some truly excellent teachers at this school and the children are friendly and diverse. I appreciate that the students aren’t focused on name brands or status symbols but rather more internal characteristics like inclusivity, kindness, etc which I believe to be a reflection of both the school and the families.
