Bonillas Elementary Basic Curriculum Magnet School

Lineweaver has very strong leadership! Starting with the principal, assistant principal, to the teachers and support staff. It’s a wonderful school with many involved parents. Of course you’re gonna have a few families that aren’t involved, they do have kids that are unfriendly, that bully. But the administration takes bullying very seriously. Students have been suspended for repeated offenses. I appreciate that they hold restoratives for a conflict between students. They are also very proactive school. They have a strong PBIS program. My child loves getting ROARS! -that’s their “lineweaver buck” so to say. When a student demonstration expected behaviors in areas throughout the campus, they can earn ROARS. My child loves turning in her wars for prizes in the main office. Speaking of, the main office staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. They offer tours of the school. They’re very hands-on, communicate well, are efficient & extremely friendly.

They are good teachers, They help the students.

Great diversity. Highly qualified teachers. Staff permanent with only a few long term subs. Test scores in line with rest of district. I work here & confidently bring my kids to Roberts/ Naylor.

I enrolled both of my children at this school—my son attended from kindergarten through 5th grade, and my daughter from kindergarten through 2nd. Over the years, I’ve observed a steady decline in the overall quality of the school experience.One of the most concerning issues has been the lack of priest involvement and transparency regarding how funds are allocated between the church and the school. It often feels as though the school receives minimal resources while the church absorbs the majority of the funding.There is also a high turnover rate among both students and staff, which creates instability and affects the school environment. Morale among parents and teachers has noticeably diminished, and there is little to no enrichment offered—field trips, for example, have been nonexistent. Communication between staff and families has been inconsistent, and academic recognition has seemed generic and unearned, with many students receiving the same awards without clear criteria.Additionally, simple but important maintenance issues, such as changing drinking fountain filters, have gone unaddressed. These oversights suggest poor financial management, whether the school is funded through scholarships or tuition.While I truly wanted to support this school and see it succeed, I cannot in good conscience recommend it. There are other schools in the area that offer a more stable, transparent, and enriching educational experience.

Faith Lutheran School was the best possible school for kids! They prepared my children well for high school with their strong academic program. The staff partner with parents to create a welcoming and loving extended family environment for learning. The school is toddlers - 8th grade and so we were able to call it home for over over 12 years! Because the school has a rich history in the community (something like 75 years) they have had time to develop programs that most small schools don't have. They have before and after school care, a full hot lunch, competitive sports and clubs, a school counselor, and a full specials schedule including P.E., Music, Drama, Home Economics, Technology, and Art. My children love the staff and look forward to times when they can go back to Faith to visit with them.
