The school is a great school the teachers strive to achieve excellence along with caring

As a parent of a 5 yr old and 9 yr old, I wanted the best school for them. We came from Cy-Fair school district and after 3 weeks in KISD, the difference between districts is overwhelming. My children are happier, excited to go to school and love being hands on in the classrooms. Their teachers are dedicated and truly care for them and their growth. My 5 yr old went to a private preschool and has said he is bored in class but when I reached out to his teacher, I was given an opportunity to have him tested for the G/T Program. I am able to reach both teachers via email, phone, and cell phone. I have had no issues with that at all. Reading the reviews, the emphasizes is on snacks or lack of or not enough time. I am confused, we send our children to a school to learn, not to eat throughout the day. Snacks are a privilege and not many schools offer this option - Cy-Fair didn't. Then we have a reviewer stating it's run like a prison, a bit over dramatic if you ask me. Are they strict about time and protocols? Absolutely and I love it! We need more discipline in our school districts to produce brilliant, law abiding citizens. Most reviews are on how rude the front staff is, not being able to contact various office staff members and snack issues. I find these humorous since I can visualize these reviewers calling constantly asking if their child has eaten a snack or asking how their child is doing that day. If these are their “major” concerns, then they are lucky their children are in that school. Stephens was ranked #1 in the entire state of Texas by the Texas Education Agency and parents are complaining about the school being disciplined and no time for snacks? Seriously? If you are looking for anything other than what truly counts in receiving a top notch education, I suggest you find another school. If you would like your child in a school that is disciplined, well organized and TEA recognized for excellence year after year, Ursula Stephens Elementary is your answer.

The school has made a positive impact on my son. His teachers really work with him and now math is his new favorite subject! Thanks to all the teachers for what they do.
