My sister is Neurodivergent and she didn’t get any support or help at all, they made her feel unwelcome. Definitely don’t recommend this school at ALL!
Posted by a parent on 1/8/2026My family had a terrible experience with this school. It has been many years since my faughters attended and I haven't commented as I hoped my feelings would mellow with time, but they have not. The school itself is poorly maintained, and the education is subpar. Still all of these things could poss

Posted by a community member on 8/25/2012I also agree that the staff and principal are rude and disrespectful not only to the parents, but to the children as well. This school claims to have a no bullying policy, but when my child is being picked on by the same child and tells, he is told he is a tattletail. It's not right. Don't tell the

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhen I went to this school, it felt like everyone cared how I was doing. They helped me stay on track, provided mental helth support, and provided an amazing education. However, during leap testing, after we were done testing we had to go take P.E. in the blazing sun. Otherwise best school ever. I am really happy that my little brother gets to experience this amazing school.Other Review7mo ago - William Hart Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school was the most challenging educational environment I have encountered in my career. The school suffers from a severe lack of care and understanding from the administrative staff, which undermines the support teachers need to succeed. Additionally, there is a significant disengagement among approximately half of the student body, with many students showing no regard for their education, future success, or respect for the efforts of their teachers. Despite educators' dedication to creating meaningful lessons, the lack of motivation and accountability among students severely impacts the learning environment. If given the authority, I would advocate for a complete overhaul of the school to address these systemic issues and create a more effective and supportive educational institution.Teacher Review1y ago - Geraldine Boudreaux Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWONDERFUL little school and amazing staff! From the moment I met Ms. Dale and Ms. Joan, I knew this would be the school for my child. They genuinely care about their students and provide an excellent education. My 3 year old daughter is in the pre-primary class, Ms.Dale and her staff are extremely dedicated, knowledgeable and great with the kids. Looking forward to another great year!Parent Review7y ago - Christ The King School
