Blanton Elementary School

I had 2 girls that went from Prek-6 and they absolutely loved it! Especially their Gym teacher Mr. Johnson and Vice Principal. My youngest son went pre-k, Kinder and 1st grade and also loved it. We sold our home and they all had to change schools. I went looking at reviews of the new schools and realized not a lot of people take time to post good things including myself. I think when people are upset they are quick to post a bad comment but never a good one. Anyway my kids still like to go by every now and then just to say hi to some of the teachers and staff. Mr Sommers was the pre k teacher for all 3 and he is such a loving and caring man. I hope this helps whomever is reading this. :)

We will not be keeping our daughter in this school next year, and there is not a chance on the face of this planet we would ever consider putting our son in this school when he reaches the age to go into prek. This has been hands down the worst experience we have ever had with a school in the 16 years I have been a mom. There is next to NO communication from the school administrators unless it has something to do with money. We have not been informed of benchmark tests, staar exams, we were never informed by a teacher when our daughter was being bullied by a girl in her class, or when a boy threatened physical violence against her. Because the school had received such a low score the year before, the school was staffed with a new administration, who has decided instead of making sure their students have the tools to pass the staar, they are instead dialing back what they are requiring the students to do, no homework, no spelling test. At this rate we will be very surprised if our daughter, and her classmates will be able to make passing marks on the staar test.

Fui a la oficina a firmar un documento de mi hijo y cuando sali de la oficina le dije a mi hijo que nos fuéramos. Mi hijo agarró par de legos y en ese instante una señora que estaba en un escritorio le dijo que esos legos no eran de él que ahí los dejara. Cuando salimos me acordé que yo le había comprado unos legos hacia par de días. Volví a casa y efectivamente si eran los mismos que la señora le quitó a mi hijo. Tuve que volver con resibo en mano a por los juguetes de mi hijo. Me dio demasiado coraje porque esa señora no tuvo el tacto de lidiar con un niño fue nadamas como para acusarlo y hacerlo sentir mal. Esta escuela carece de buenos líderes, todos en esa escuela tienen tendencias a dar órdenes gritando. Creo que están impuestos a tratar a los padres como les da la gana y que nadie les diga nada.

This school is OK if you are a parent of African American children or any other child of a different race besides Hispanic your experience will be ok or less than they are snarky favor Hispanic students as well I had been outside since 3:04 front of the line for my kiddo so why is EVERYONE else’s kid coming out before mine yet they let parents cut in front of us as well

To express my serious concerns regarding the environment It has become evident that there is ongoing harassment and mistreatment directed toward Black students within the institution.Despite these issues being brought to light, the administration has failed to take appropriate action. There have been instances where racial slurs are used, yet the principal and assistant principal have refused to address these incidents or foster an environment where children can learn and grow safely. Furthermore, the behavior of certain groups within the school is deeply concerning.I strongly advise against enrolling children in this environment, as the current leadership and specific groups occupying the school do not demonstrate the necessary care or respect for all students.

Aside from a younger grades teacher constantly yelling at her class to shut up, it’s a really good good school. I love the officer that’s on duty all day and the front office lady with the grey hair is very polite and helpful. Parents aren’t too involved and this place has a new set of teachers every year which is weird.
