My daughter absolutely loves her school. The teachers are incredibly supportive and truly care about their students’ success, both academically and personally. The environment feels safe, welcoming, and positive, which gives me great peace of mind as a parent. I’ve seen my daughter grow in confidence and truly excel in her learning. We are very grateful to be part of such a wonderful school community.

Back Elementary has been a disappointing experience in many ways. The atmosphere is far from welcoming, primarily due to the principal's questionable leadership style. Rather than fostering a supportive environment for both students and staff, the principal often resorts to bullying tactics. This creates a culture of fear rather than encouragement, making it difficult for teachers to thrive and for students to feel safe and valued.The lack of communication and support from the administration is glaring. Instead of addressing concerns, the principal seems to dismiss them, which only adds to the frustration. It's disheartening to see how detrimental this leadership is to the school's morale and overall learning environment.

John W. Armstrong is the only elementary school where my children will attend. It is such an amazing place to be. It is our seconf family. This campus and community go above and beyond and keeps expectations high.

Wonderful school within the Garland independent school district.

This an amazing school. The student body is diverse, the parents are involved, and there is almost NO teacher turnover! This means you get teachers who are experienced and dedicated. The test data is high and students are given tons of educational experiences. Cox has been a great place for my children to go to school!

Harmony School has been very good for my children, and I am pleased with the school community. Keep up the great work.The classrooms and learning environment are also good. However, I have noticed that classroom management could be improved in a few classes. I hope to see continued improvement in this area next year.Thank you for your dedication to the students and families.

I would give this school a -10000, meaning, do not ever choose this school to send your child. They take money from the parents but won't spend money on school supplies or enough food for the children. It's pretty sad when your child comes home from school everyday hungry and on top of that you know there is a problem when a child is asking another child if they can have the food they're not eating because they're still hungry. The place where you store your child's belongings is literally a taped up box put inside of a cubbie hole. The carpets are dirty and it smells like urine when you walk into the school. Curriculm should be followed but it is not. This place is more like a daycare rather than a school.
