tbh this school is actually pretty mid.

My child is a kindergarten student here. Within the first 5 months they received a death threat from another student and reported this same student after they threatened to kill another. Both times, the principal called me. Meanwhile, student making the threats is still in the classroom, bullying other children. A different bully is harassing and hitting my child as well and other children repeatedly going on months now. Their teacher does nothing to communicate this is happening. When confronted, she admitted she knew and failed to communicate it. Other faculty, such as the gym teacher, are aware of the issue and have been informing the parents. When we tried to address this, the counselor ignored us entirely and the principal both denied finding any evidence and accidentally admitted to trying to separate the bully months prior. All of this is taking place at the kindergarten level. I can only imagine how much worse it gets as the kids get older and learn there’s no consequences. There was already a bomb threat. However, despite assurances that police were aware and would be conducting a search, I witnessed no police at this school and I live very close by. The principal similarly did not have a reassuring plan of action. At no point did anyone mention school being dismissed early. PTA has no interest in working parents. Meetings are scheduled before lunch. When contacted about this, they will ignore you. They are, however, happy to collect. Your kindergartener will bring homework home. Texas comes in on the bottom half of national education rankings, so I can’t imagine what this is supposed to solve. States with better education systems usually don’t give homework before 2nd, often later. They will never answer the phone. Or return calls. Getting my child registered to attend was a nightmare. I had to stand in front of the registrar and ensure she was actually doing it because we had been in “processing” for weeks. My child tested well above average at the beginning of the year and is now showing regression. No one seems to care. The school appears understaffed. Multitudes are retiring and not being backfilled. The supposed police presence as mandated by the state is still “in hiring”. Roan forest feels unsafe, uncaring, and by several objective measures appears to be failing. I feel for the children attending. We will likely be pulling our child soon

Great experience with teachers; accommodating with our extracurricular activities and take the extra mile to help us understand the lessons we miss. Very blessed to attend this high school!
