This school helped kids learn a lot, but its been bad (at least in 2025, currently). They make the children run laps nonstop sometimes, plus they make them have silent lunch, even though lunch is one of the only times they get to talk freely with each other. The lunch monitors make the kids go outside after their lunch, and make them run laps, also wasting one of the only times they get to talk and have free time. Their excuse is: "Oh, we expect more of 5th graders because they're the leaders of the school." Also, whenever one student does something bad during lunch, like face the opposite side of their food, the WHOLE 5th grade gets in trouble, and they can't talk for the rest of lunch. Their excuse for this is that "5th grade is a team". Like what? Your punishing them all for something small, and something 1 person did? Some of the staff just seem really controlling. But either way, I think this school is good to send your kid to.

bad, horrible student-teacher communication, bad subs, food is raw and not a safe environment.

My main concern is about attendance. When I go to take exams such as the STAAR tests or similar tests that require going to a different classroom with a different committee, I am marked absent in my original class. I understand that according to protocol, a student is marked absent if they are not physically present in their assigned classroom.The problem is that my attendance has not been corrected afterward. I have followed up with the attendance office multiple times, but it has been almost four months since I took the STAAR test and several other exams, and my attendance record is still not updated.This situation is very frustrating because I was present at school and only left my class to take required exams. It has reached a point where I feel uncomfortable going to tests because I know I will be marked absent and the issue will not be fixed.
