Greenlawn Terrace Elementary School

I went here about 10 years ago for my kindergarten and first grade year. The staff are not that nice but the teachers were fine. The cafeteria workers would force the students to be completely silent if they just felt like it and if you didn’t comply you would need to throw your lunch away (regardless if you finished) and stand beside a wall. They basically publicly shamed you.

My son attended kindergarten at Bissonet and loved it. Every time I visited the school, it had a very positive atmosphere and all the kids seemed so respectful in the halls and happy. From my experience, the principal was great. When dropping off/picking up my son, I would always see her engaging in a positive way with students. They also organized nice family events for occasional evening activities (movie and popcorn night, STEM Night) (before COVID) and there was a great sense of community.

The office staff is not professional. My first time having a conversation with the principal, she came at me loud and cutting me off with anything I had to say. Her excuse was that is she very busy and that’s why she didn’t answer email from a week ago. They didn’t waste no time suspending my child and telling me the day of but when I requested a meeting about it it I had to keep nudging about it until the principal came at me so aggressively because of what an office staff member told her. She didn’t even come at me appropriately to ask what the concern is. The only reason the situation didn’t escalate is because of myself. If I met her at the level she came at me we would not have resolved anything. I almost felt like they were doing it on purpose so my concerns would not be addressed. Very disappointed. There should be a system in place for everything.

I love this school. Teachers there care about your kids.

I go to the hybrid, but the school is AMAZING. It is clean, the teachers are so kind, take mental health seriously, take special needs with love, and have an amazing way of teaching. My sister (who goes to the real elementary) loves it. The kids are amazing, teachers are so sweet, extracurriculars are fun, and the way they learn is perfect.
