My child loves this school. super good schools

I hate to post a bad review of this school, hopefully in the future it will change, and I can update it but for now it's accurate. I learned of a child in my daughter's kindergarten class who at the beginning of the year was having difficult behavior (kicking, hitting the teacher). I thought it was merely an isolated incident. Unfortunately, I didn't find out the extent until last week when this same student threw a chair in class which grazed my daughter on the side of her head. I received a call from the nurse and of course asked her teacher about it later. I reached out to other parents who have children in the same grade, some in her class, others in another teacher's class and that's when I found out this student has been terrorizing and abusing the children all through the school year. He has hit & kicked other children, stabbed the teacher with a pencil and yet is allowed to remain in class. Granted there was another principal who has since been removed but even with our recent meeting with the acting principal the attitude seems to be the same. They have confirmed the district has sent specialists to help. I have had lunch with my daughter and can confirm there are additional people around him now although I am still at a lack of words that there were no consequences for his behavior. I was also made aware (via other parents) that a second student in one of the other kindergarten classes exhibits the same behavior and is apparently related to the child in my daughter's class. I cannot confirm if he is also receiving assistance from other faculty although when I went to have lunch with my daughter, I personally saw him get away from a teacher, knock down a flagpole & then go behind some children & raise his hand to hit them. He was stopped prior to being able to although to me as a parent that is completely unacceptable behavior and how this child is still allowed to be in school is beyond me. Since there was no empathy or support from the leadership at the school we have started looking into options so that our daughter will not attend next year. I hope by posting this review it helps other parents to know what is happening at Longs Creek. I was in the dark until an incident happened, and it seems it will obviously take a child being seriously injured before they bother taking true action.

Parents, please read — serious concerns about student safetyI'm speaking out because this has gone too far. The administration at this school continues to allow violent behavior to go unchecked. My child was assaulted—another student put their hand over her mouth and nose, restricting her breathing, then punched her in the stomach. She couldn’t breathe and was terrified.This same student has done this before to others. The school labeled it as a "simple assault," but under Texas law, this can be considered a third-degree felony. The administration is consistently misclassifying serious incidents to avoid state attention and accountability.There is a pattern of neglect and failure to protect students. All three principals at this school have shown little to no concern, and the safety of our children is clearly not a priority.
