Lone Star Elementary School

My son attended Merrill RD VPk-2nd grade and we loved every bit of it. The staff , principal and especially the teachers are all amazing! My son had some of the best teachers here who were actually passionate about their job! The teachers kept me informed and communicated very well. The only thing I would say is that the traffic and be ridiculous at times.

Where do I even begin? Attending this academy felt less like pursuing an education and more like signing up for an ongoing test of patience. From the moment I started, there was an overwhelming sense of disorder the kind that makes you question how things are supposed to function at all.The academic experience? A confusing mix of unclear expectations and inconsistent structure masquerading as organization. Lessons often felt rushed or poorly explained, leaving more frustration than understanding. It was less about learning and more about trying to piece things together on your own.Support and communication didn’t fare much better. Asking simple questions sometimes felt like an inconvenience rather than a normal part of being a student. A place meant to encourage growth instead felt strangely disconnected.I’m honestly surprised this experience met even the most basic expectations. A learning environment should inspire confidence and clarity not leave students feeling drained and discouraged.

The principal that previous reviews speak of is no longer with the school. They brought in a wonderful, experienced principal. Looking forward to the improvements she is already making.
