If you’ll be new to the district, keep moving. They don’t really accept outsiders well. They don’t make people feel welcomed and 95% of the staff are standoffish. They’d rather ignore you than say good morning. The auxiliary staff are amazing but the teachers are TERRIBLE. 1 out of 10, would not recommend.

The teachers that teach the core classes are dedicated to their students and profession. The SPED teachers are wonderful to work with. For managing adolescents, the administration is doing well. They do show concern and care for all their students. When you take in the bigger picture, community governance and management, TEA state management and Federal government management then you can connect the dots as to why they have low academic ratings. Parental involvement is minimal due to the socioeconomic area and parents work schedules. Once there is adequate beneficial changes at the higher levels of government, this school certainly has a chance to excell. The US education system needs a critical over hall.

In the end of the school year party in 2024, they had water slide. My daughter's leg got hurt when she told the teacher the teacher told her to sit aside so she's not blocking others.They never told me my daughter got hurt and till this day she still scared to get on water slides.Told them my daughter needs speech help and around the middle of the school year they started he evaluation but it was not completed even the school ended. I tried to speak to the principal for many times, every time they told me I will receive a call from the principal but I never did receive the call.

Overall the elementary is a good school as far as Texas public schools go. The education system is broken. Taking this into consideration when looking into the F rating they receive doesn't just reflect on the school, it also reflects on TEA, the Federal government, and the local community. With the overhall of education system, and trained great teachers at the school, they could easily be a 5 star.
