Front office staff; one lady in particular who shall remain unnamed but runs the front desk is extremely rude towards me on different occasions. This is unacceptable and when I took it up with who I believe to be the assistant principal she was very dismissive to my plea. All I ask for is for staff to be respectful and unassuming, here that is not the case. Speaking up now since my child will NOT be returning to this school.

I have extensive knowledge of this school and its history, and it genuinely pains me to leave a review this critical. However, the current state of Double File Trail is the most concerning I have seen during my time connected to the campus.The biggest issue facing the school is leadership. Under Principal Lily Dreher, there has been a noticeable decline in staff morale, accountability, and overall direction. Many highly valued staff members have left in recent years, and that level of turnover speaks volumes about the current climate.Looking at TEA accountability data, there is a significant difference between the Exemplary ratings and A accountability scores the school achieved in previous years compared to the C rating it currently holds. The trajectory is concerning, and without meaningful changes, there are serious questions about where the school is headed.That being said, there are still outstanding teachers and staff members at Double File Trail who care deeply about their students and work hard every day to provide a quality education. Unfortunately, strong educators can only do so much when leadership issues and a lack of accountability create an environment that leads to frustration and burnout.I truly hope the school can return to the standard of excellence it once had. The students and dedicated staff members deserve better.

My 3 children attend Caldwell. My oldest is currently in 5th grade and has been at CHE since Kindergarten. My youngest attending is in Pre-K. This year has definitely been different but has not changed my children's learning. The teachers do their best and it shows through my kids. They love to attend school and are looking forward to attending again next year. The teachers communicate well through email. The office staff if very helpful when needed.

Terrible school! They have no resources for your child if they struggle. The bullying is out of control! The teachers are very lazy!

We have had kids at teravista for a decade (and will for another decade)! We love everyone here.

I don't want my child to be at a school where the current principal is an administrator.
