Cowan Elementary School

Eden park was a great experience for us. The school has a very community feel. Parents are involved and the staff and administrators are responsive to concerns or needs. If your child needs afterschool care, however, I do not recommend the extended care that they offer. The staff is impersonal and rarely interacts with the kids. The word my son used to describe them is ‘mean’. There are lots of options for afterschool care choose literally any of them other than this one.

Cunningham has amazing teachers and small class sizes. Both the teachers are other students at school functions always seem so positive and accepting of everyone. Both my kids had amazing experiences and Cunningham for the last 4 years.The PEAS garden/farm is an awesome opportunity for learning and life-experience. The PTA is engaged and does a lot for school activities.

Attendance clerk yelling at teacher who held the door open for students who literally are arriving as the bell rings or like one minute after and saying "I NEED MY TARDIES" while she has a line of parent and students trying to check their kids in. Same attendance clerk belittling and cussing in front of student for "not having their address memorized" even though all this documentation was submitted during enrollment prior to school starting along with the bus info. This was afterschool when they were trying to figure out what bus to put her on. Not impressed with most of the staff. Unprofessional. Unresponsive. The enrollment process is flawed.

I don't like this school at especially because they put demon hunters to the classmates of my nephew. They confuse the kids making them believe that demons can become good. I'm sorry but that's unacceptable. I won't and will never recommend this school to anyone I know. Please don't go to this school.

We have enjoyed being a part of the Kocurek community! Given the state of public education and the school's "underperforming" status, I've been impressed with the quality of my daughter's teachers and their advocacy for their students. There are a lot of opportunities for parents to be involved and provide feedback, and it's got a surprisingly active PTA for a title 1 school. Recommend for any South Austin family who values community and diversity.

This school is amazing! The teachers are very kind, supportive, and attentive of their students. I was in Casey from Pre-K 4 to 5th grade. There is also a lot of family engagement like PTA. They also encourage the kids to read by giving them rewards. The students are amazing, the teachers and office workers are amazing, and the staff is amazing. 10/10 experience. 100% recommend this school!

This was our first year sending both of our kids, and they’ve learned so much in such a short time. The teachers truly care and many even have their own children enrolled, which says a lot. We love that they’re being taught biblical principles along with a top-tier curriculum — our kindergartener is already writing cursive! The school is affordable, Christ-centered, and our kids are thriving. Highly recommend!
