I would not recommend Housecreek Elementary based on my experience as a parent.My child had one excellent first-grade teacher here, certified, passionate, and truly invested in teaching. Unfortunately, after that year, our experience declined significantly. The quality of education has been inconsistent and, in many cases, lacking. Parents should be prepared to teach their children approximately 90 percent of the material at home, because unless your child is fortunate enough to be assigned a teacher who is properly trained and effective in the classroom, they will not receive the level of instruction they need.Even more concerning is that my child has been repeatedly targeted since second grade. In one incident, a teacher admitted in writing that although she did not witness my child do anything, she assumed he was responsible simply because she saw him walking by and he did not respond when questioned. Despite bringing this to the assistant principal’s attention, the only outcome was an apology, no corrective action, no accountability, just an apology from the teacher admitting she was wrong and the principal stating that the situation should not have been handled that way.At this point, I also began to question whether skin color may have been a factor in how certain situations involving my child were handled. This concern is not raised lightly. I have received multiple apologies from both teachers and the assistant principal regarding the handling of incidents involving my child , so many that I felt it necessary to begin documenting them. Enough is enough.Additionally, class sizes are far too large for one teacher, making it nearly impossible to adequately supervise students or provide meaningful instruction. This environment allows assumptions to be made instead of facts being verified, which is unacceptable.Because of the lack of educational quality, repeated mishandling of situations, and inadequate administrative response, we are relocating. Something has clearly changed at this school, and not for the better.My advice to parents is to research and verify the credentials of your child’s assigned teacher. It truly matters and can make or break your child’s educational experience.
