Hale Elementary School

The teachers don’t send home homework even when they see the children are struggling with something. My child was cursed out by her teacher and when I spoke with her about it she informed me that the word she used was not a curse word….definitely don’t recommend this school for ANYONE. The teachers don’t reach out about anything at all so good luck on knowing what your child is learning / working on

My kids when to this school and i love how teachers and staff our in communication with parents my kids love this school.

Year 2025. Please take your child anywhere but West Elementary. The teachers engage in unfair grading practices and favoritism. For instance, they'll give your children grades on diagnostic tests . There is no uniform grading policy or best practices implemented. No accountability whatsoever. Teachers have high failure rates. There is no district initiative to solve this issue when it's lazy teachers submitting only 3-5 grades in the gradebook per term. God bless you if your child has any type of special needs because they will not be accommodated. The administration is lame at best and engages in willful indifference of students failing and bullying. They do nothing to curb and target thug-like behavior occurring that disrupts classes. The teachers won't communicate with you. When parents complain about issues mean spirited teachers which is very common; the administration will gaslight you and deny, deny, deny. There are nearby inner city schools with high populations of poverty and English Language Learners who are scoring higher than the kids at West Elementary due to the poor teaching practices. There are only two in class parties a year for the elementary kids. Most of the staff acts like they hate children. They tend to hire people with the same mentality yearly. Arlington ISD is going to the dogs. the board members do absolutely nothing but take pictures. Avoid Arlington ISD and particularly West like Covid 19. Our tax dollars are being wasted.
