Pat Henry Elementary School

Love this school. My daughter is in prek and my son is in 2nd grade. This school does a lot for its students. Just dont like 1 of the staff. White lady in office has an attitude. Im sure its because im of a different faith.

My cousin has been coming home every day and we would ask her how her day was and she would say that it was horrible and she says that it’s because this girl in her class bully’s her. (They are in kindergarten by the way)She says that the girl tells her “look over there” and then scribbles all over her paper. My cousin tells us other stuff too. I just hate the fact that’s she’s getting bullied in kindergarten

Great, our daughter loves her teachers and friends here. She is doing so much better here since we moved back from florida. The teacher and staff truly cares about their students.

Our PTO organization is the best in the city. Teachers maintain open communication with parents. Students are encouraged to participate in after school clubs and sports. Leadership in this school is second to none; Mrs. Short has done amazing things at Pioneer Park. Overall, this is a good place to be.

Very good staff. Students respond quickly to them.

They teach the kids that it is acceptable to allow others to treat you poorly while not being allowed to stick up for yourself. Bullying is not only allowed, but ENCOURAGED at this school. If you teach your kid not to bully as well as not allowing others to bully them, they will be mistreated by the staff as the problem. They think it is ok to not teach the kids because on average all children are 6 months or more behind schedule anyways. Instead of helping the children, they are misleading them. My child has had bad experience after bad experience while only trying to learn and not be bullied. This school has made him hate going daily because of the way he has been treated. Only one teacher he has had there has helped him and she came from another school when it was shut down. If she followed him yearly, maybe things would be different. Maybe the school needs to take some recommendations from her. The principal will not call you back to resolve issues, and if by chance you get in touch with her, she will state she is looking into something and still do nothing to help better a situation.

My oldest daughter has attended TCA for 8 years now, and my youngest has for 6. There are no regrets on our choice to be here. The loving, family, Christian environment is all you can hope for for your children to be able to grow up, learn, and build a Godly foundation in.

this school NEEDS to have cameras installed for the safety of ALL students, especially special needs classrooms. horrible & heartbreaking.
