Prairie Branch Elementary School

We absolutely LOVE James Walker elementary. The principal and teachers have been wonderful. We are so PROUD to call this school ours and even more proud to be a Warrior!

A current fourth grade teacher here was actually my son's first grade teacher and she put him on the bus on the first day of school when he was a car rider. I genuinely worried I had marked him down wrong, but when I asked her if I had done that so that we could work together and ensure it didn't happen again, she told me I had indeed marked him down wrong. I immediately knew she was lying to my face so I asked her if I could see the paper. I was never rude to this woman, but because she knew she was busted and was so embarrassed about it, she was rude and cold to my son the entire time he was her student.

I cannot say enough good things about Matthews. I never dreamed a public school with over 500 students could feel like a home to me and my child and welcome us with open arms and understanding hearts. The staff is truly invested in what is best for each child and makes real, genuine connections with each them. I’d live in a cardboard box before sending my kids anywhere else.

The staff at this school truly cares about students.
