We love Govalle elementary school! The “GreatSchools” rating doesn’t reflect our experience. The dedicated teachers and staff are wonderful. Our son has learned a great deal and his scores reflect that. There are many activities organized by staff, PTA, and parents. It’s a wonderful community and neighborhood school. All I can say is that you should visit and meet the teachers and see for yourself before making a decision. We chose Govalle and were so grateful we did.

I used to work here from 2017-2020 and when I heard the news that this school is closing, I was so happy! The students with the exception of like 20%, are the absolute worst people I’ve ever had to teach. They’re rude, violent, very very low IQ, and their parents are no different. The school is an entire safety concern and admin will do absolutely nothing to help you or your child if they are bullied, beaten up and in fact, will probably cover it up and blame you. The academics are incredibly low, the students refuse to learn and would rather fight, argue, scream and resist any type of education. When Covid hit, I was so glad to have gotten away from these students and I was even more thankful that the good students were set free from them as well. I am glad this school is closing, it’s underperforming for years and I hope the school is demolished and the land is put to better use.Thank you Austin ISD for making the correct decision!

This is one of the best schools is Austin! I hope it continues to do great as it has been these past few years!
