Posted by a parent on 11/28/2023Very good school, teacher, and principal. Having friends in all west Allen school, this school is best in Allen ISD in overall experience. It's not easy to determine it from only academic score. Highly recommended for mid-class family who move to Allen. You will find balance among all aspects.
Posted by a parent on 7/26/2019The school has a good reputation in the community. However, when I faced problems is when I was able to experience the school leadership. I could never get the school leadership to listen to my concerns until I filed a level 1 complaint. I had an issue were my child's teacher was disclosing confidential information about my child to another teacher. The other teacher who was not my child's teacher confronted me in front of other parents. This was very unprofessional. We ended up leaving the school even after the issue was resolved. Academically the school only performs to meet the state of Texas minimum (which is not very challenging). They rarely give lower grade students any real homework. There are a mix of good and bad teachers. The leadership is not very strong and keeps parents at bay unless you are giving your time. Otherwise as a parent I was not welcome. I was able to gain assess to my Childs classroom but I had to literally stay on the teacher to choose me for activites. Yes, it is a lot of parental involvement in the school. Yes, there are plenty of extra activities for students. Your experience on the school depends on which teacher your child gets each year, your Childs temperament, and if you have to deal with school administrators. Overall we were not pleased with the school education, how school leaders handled conflict, the classroom teacher and school approach to student behavior issues, and teacher relaxed environment (teacher attitude, lack of respect for school administrators). Our family had to go through too many hoops, too much paperwork, too many meetings to resolve an issue that was completely inappropriate and very unprofessional on behalf of school staff. Our overall trust and confidence in this school was shattered.
Posted by a parent on 8/18/2015I am student who just left Cheatham Elementary this year for middle school and I have to say, this school is the best. The parents who say that school wants minimal parent involvement are out of their minds! This school definitely encourages parental involvement, and not to mention the staff loves to see parents around the building. The education provided at this school is top-notch, and the teachers truly care about your child's well-being in and outside of school. There are so many clubs and activities that Cheatham provides, it's hard not to make friends. In all the years I have been here, I have never seen nor experienced any bullying since the staff makes sure to enforce the consequences of bullying towards the students. Being at this school totally built on my personality for the better. At Cheatham, there is constantly an opportunity to get better and stronger and that is why I loved being a student here.
Posted by a community member on 6/12/2014We have the most supportive teachers and staff! Our principal is top notch and she only allows the best. Her expectations are high & the teachers are so caring & loving. The parents are welcome in the school & classroom! We hit the jack pot when we moved into this community. We have been here for 3 years and are more than happy with the education our children are receiving. Thank you to all the BCES staff.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI usually don't write reviews, but when I was googling the school to call them about my kid's attendance, I was so shocked to see the rating by some of the other parents. Personally I have two kids going to Kerr elementary (one currently in 1st grade, and the other in 5th grade). My older one is on the dyslexia and speech program; whereas, my younger one is on the speech program. From my experience, the school has been fantastic to work with. The administrators I have interfaced with cares and have been very courteous. Are there incidents of bullying? yes, sure, there is; however, just with any place, I make sure I use it as on opportunity to teach my kid how to handle different scenarios and incidents. When my kid fell behind on the Starr test, they had met with me several times to go over action plan, and ensured my kid had after school tutoring. Overall, I have nothing by great things to say about kerr elementary.Parent Review1y ago - Dr E T Boon Elementary School
