Johns Elementary School

This school supports bullying of the students by teachers...unfortunately. The principals doesn’t do anything to protect the students except intimidate them more

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.

The school overall is nice. The teachers are good and many other staff are too. The only problem is the actions of the students that go to Blanton. The school pretty diverse and is home to many Hispanic children. My biggest problem is these children discriminate other races and make jokes about them which aren’t even funny and the school has done nothing about it. It has happened in front of staff but they don’t do anything about it. The people who do this type of discrimination is mostly the higher grades. Some are overall racist towards other races and are very ignorant. The students are practically bullying other student because they aren’t Hispanic or because of their race.

Horrible! My son has been at this school many years, this is his last year in 6th and the administration has gone downhill every year. This past year being the worst. Front desk/Secretary and assistant principal are the worst. Rude, not helpful and very dismissive.

Is a good school very good staff and teachers.
