Read what parents are saying about Gene Howe Elementary SchoolPrincipal and secretary extremely unprofessional and disrespectful.
Posted by a parent on 9/19/2017Great school extremely dedicated staff. Only complaint I have is my gifted child isn't challenged to my satisfaction.
Posted by a parent on 2/4/2014This is our first year at this school and we love it. I have a 2nd grader and a kindergartner. The principal is great. She personally takes an interest in each student. The PTA is extremely organized and parents have every opportunity to be involved.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI recently had the unfortunate experience of waiting for a tour at Amarillo Montessori, and I feel compelled to share my disappointment with the unprofessionalism I encountered.Upon arriving at the preschool, I was excited about the prospect of touring for my children. However, my enthusiasm quickly turned into frustration as I was left waiting for a staggering amount of time, with absolutely no communication regarding the delay. I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, but a simple gesture of informing me about the delay would have been a basic courtesy. Feeling increasingly impatient, I approached the front staff to inquire about the status of my interview. To my astonishment, not a single word was uttered in response. Instead, the staff stared at me blankly, and then exchanged perplexed glances with each other. The lack of communication and disregard for my time left me feeling disrespected and undervalued as a prospective parent.Further, the hallways had boxes scattered about, creating hazards and barriers to exit. When I rang the doorbell to enter, no one asked who I was or what I was doing there. They just buzzed me right on in. The lack of security is alarming.In any professional setting, clear and open communication is key, and it was disheartening to experience the complete absence of it at Amarillo Montessori. A simple apology or acknowledgment of the delay would have gone a long way in mitigating the frustration I felt.In light of this unprofessional conduct, I made the decision to leave without participating in the tour. A preschool that neglects to respect the time and concerns of prospective parents raises serious questions about its commitment to professionalism, childcare, and basic courtesy.I hope this review serves as constructive feedback for Amarillo Montessori to improve its communication and organizational practices in the future. As a full-time working mom, my time is valuable. I expect a higher standard of professionalism from any institution, especially one entrusted with the care and education of young children.Other Review4mo ago
