"They would like the trails and the dog park they would all like the poop bagel that the city provides and some people are friendly. The this that they would like is that some people don’t pick up after there dogs and just let them roam the streets unattended."

"No we don’t do anything. The neighbors are great. Everyone is friendly and eager to help if you need it. I just think that people are so busy, and to be able to get everyone together for a weekly get together would just not work. "

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is an AMAZING school!! We transferred our kids here from Arlington ISD and have never been happier about a decision. The staff (from administration, teachers, and support staff) have all been so kind, helpful, and caring. And they do it all with a joy and enthusiasm that makes my kids excited to attend school. Plus, they have embedded Character education into their curriculum (even gotten National recognition for it). On top of that, they are one of the few elementary schools that have an AVID program! But wait! There's more! They also have a dual language program! I can't say enough great things about this GREAT SCHOOL. We LOVE CAPA!!P.S.- comments about the removal of a teacher a few years ago are inaccurate. The campus had nothing to do with the removal. It was the district.Parent Review11mo ago26 Reviews - Carol Holt Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was the kindergarten class of 2018 for this school, and I will say, this is the best school ever. The amount of fun I had in this school is indescribable. I was more willing to learn than ever. The way the teachers teach is also incredible. I was passing the class with flying colors. I absolutely adore this school and trust me, you and your child(ren) will too!Other Review11mo ago17 Reviews - St. Joseph Catholic School
