"Dogs are very welcome in this neighborhood. We have 2 dogs and take them for walks all the time. People pick up after their dogs. There are pet waste baskets at the neighborhood parks and the retention pond is great to all the dogs around. Theirs also a dog park is the area that is very clean and our dogs love to play there."

"There’s a lot of drivers around the area that go a faster speed, so I suggest watching with caution if your children are playing outside."

"Swell planned community for certain. But the best by far is the diversity of people. It feels a bit like a cultural melting pot. We also have Summerwood watch through our ring door bells so we quickly pass along suspicious people roaming in the hood"

"The great access to stores and the small town feel. We are about 25 minutes from downtown and it gives our community a nice secluded feeling as well. "

"This is a great gated community. my family and I have never felt more safe not to mention being well above the flood line. we didn't even lose electricity which I did feel guilty about sometimes when watching what was happening on the news. Couldn't be happier. "

As with any school and teacher, if you are having any issues with your child and their teacher the best thing to do is to set up a conference and speak with them.Parent Review4y ago4 Reviews - Summerwood Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe environment here does not feel welcoming or culturally aware. It felt like my child was constantly being singled out, misunderstood, and treated differently than the white students. As a parent, it’s heartbreaking to watch your child be labeled or disciplined over things that other kids were simply redirected for.To make matters worse, communication with staff has been dismissive, unprofessional, and lacking basic compassion. Instead of working with me, they escalated situations unnecessarily and made me feel like my concerns didn’t matter. I’m removing my child from this school because it’s clear this environment is not built for kids who don’t fit their mold.If you are a parent of a child of color, please be cautious. My experience showed me that this school lacks cultural sensitivity, fairness, and understanding — and no family should have to fight this hard to be treated with basic respect.Parent Review10mo ago7 Reviews - Lakeshore Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe test scores and great school ratings speak for themselves. It has not been a bad experience but parents that want more for their kids are figuring out other options. Parents are pretty much barred from classrooms and not allowed to observe...lots of complaints about that one.Parent Review2y ago9 Reviews - Kids R Kids #35 Tx Lakeshore
