Rankin 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.

My son attended Pre-K 4 2025 August 13th and August 14th when I went to pick him up on August 14th at 3:30 p.m. I was unable to find anyone that could point me to where he would be released at after meeting with the officer on school property I was notified by another parent that my 4-year-old was wandering down the street four blocks over. I ran to Big Street which is one block over and sure enough three blocks down was my 4-year-old wandering crying, scared and disorientated. I picked him up and ran back to the school where I was informed by the principal that their policy is to release any student that is a walker and have them escorted by a teacher one block down and released regardless if they are 3 years old, 4 years old, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and so on. I'm now attempting to file a police report and I have submitted a grievance to the school directly. This is absolutely true and I'm in disbelief with the principal's attitude that somehow it was our fault because we didn't have a car to pick him up in. So he was labeled as a walker. Not once was the principal concerned with the fact that they had a 4-year-old. My 4-year-old lost almost five blocks down where he could have been abducted by a predator attacked by a stray dog or hit by traffic

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
