My daughter completely loves this school. The teachers truly care about the children. Since we have moved here from belton school district my daughter has gone from pretty much failing to close to be a straight A student. The teachers want the children to succeed in both school and life. Best school yet. Awesome extracurricular classes great business classes. I highly recommend this school.

Love crenshaw the staff is so good my kids love this school so much ~the best little school by far !!go bulldogs

They emphasize and promote intensive teaching with competent teachers who promote a culture of learning and development mostly due to the compensation the school receives when the students perform on state tests.. This a positive in every way where all the students and the school benefits...If they didn't have an incentive, this school would perform at average or below standards due to the the area which is economicly disadvantaged and where English is a second language for many if not he majority...I applaud the state for setting the school up this way...it is a win win for all of its students regardless of their background....

This school works hard to try to help their students they do their best with the funding they have

Love this school. My son was accepted to the G/T program where they children stay in that class for the entire day. Miss Miller was excellent!

Austin is a great school, my son is in his 4th year (5th-8th) and making straight A's. But wow, about these reviews....to the person whining that they are not "very discriminating about who they let in"...REALLY???? Is this person "discriminating"? How in the world can a parent make a statement like this about another child....they have no idea what kind of grades another child makes by their looks. And the whining about their child having homework??? AGAIN, REALLY??? This is a STEM school, the parent had to "apply" in order for their child to get in, the child must make good grades and have good attendance and behavior throughout their elementary years. When your child is accepted into the school you are told (and given written handouts) that there is homework nightly and a lot of projects. As far as 4 HOURS A NIGHT...NO, not at all. The child must not be using their time wisely and completing what they can in school OR they do not completely understand the topic and the parent should help their child instead of whining about it on a website. Side note: there are tutoring sessions offered for children who need extra help. Recess is a thing of the past and ends in elementary around here, if that is not acceptable....enroll your child out of this district and most around Houston as well because they no longer have recess either. Athletics and several sports are offered, they also get to take beach breaks in the warm weather (lunch, football, soccer, etc. on the beach). My child has been rewarded a lot so the comment about children not being rewarded is simply not true.

my child was shamed in front of the entire school for not reciting the pledge, even though she stood up and stood quietly.

I would want to accomplish my dream goal experiment in becoming a professional massage therapist.
