My family is new to Texas, and this kind of school environment, I find this school to be one of the most horrible schools I have ever had my children in.

This is a great district with fantastic leadership, good teachers, and awesome academics. Both of our students came from Georgetown ISD, and oh my gosh the difference was insane. So much less bullying, better teachers, administration that cares, it is all just a relief coming from such a parent hating district such as GISD. They are getting a little bit away from being great for parents (more activities taking place during the day that working parents can't go to), and I hope they do stop that.

The WORST school!!! They do nothing about bullying! Unless you come from lots of $$$$ or related to the judge or drink with coaches/ staff your child gets left behind !!

My granddaughter transferred into this school half way through the first semester this year. I cannot say enough great things about not only her strides in education but also the caring staff at this school. I don't know if she just got lucky with the greatest teacher in the entire school or if all of the teachers are this fantastic but her teacher is phenomenal. My granddaughter has made huge strides in reading, is becoming what I call a 'math genius' and has learned and enjoyed this year so much. We have attended a few class events and the teacher's balance between having a fun class party and still behaving in the classroom is incredible. I honestly do not know how she does it. Grades and progress are easily accessed through the online portal which is very helpful. The teacher has been very responsive to any email I have sent. Communication is wonderful. She sends home completed work on a regular basis so I am aware of the lessons and can be a partner in my granddaughter's education. Homework has consisted mainly of reading assignments but there has been the occasional math worksheet. The teacher keeps us updated with the lessons by sending out flyers via email, informing parents of what the class is studying. I really appreciate that. All in all, this positive experience has made my granddaughters transition this year much easier and more pleasant. She is already looking forward to next year at this school and has said that she doesn't want to go to any other school. Thank You RJ Richey for making my granddaughter's year brighter!
