Caraway is a hidden gem tucked away in the area. The other schools in the area have over double the students. You can not put a price on smaller class sizes and the environment of everyone knowing everyone. Caraway is a small and nurturing school. Academics are great but not too much pressure so the
Posted by a parent on 3/29/2026Caraway is such a special gem tucked away in the Great Hills area. It is nearly 1/2 the size of the other two elementary schools in the area. It maintains the same level of academics and education but with a very small school feel that is priceless. You get to know families so quickly and the teache
Posted by a parent on 8/15/2025New administration is untruthful, manipulative and documents false information. My son has dysgraphia and autism but they refused to provide help. When he was very clearly bullied by a group of kids who repetitively caused trouble, they victim blamed and tried to cover up the issue. My son was clear
Posted by a parent on 5/10/2025This is a wonderful school, tucked away in an amazing neighborhood. The new administration is top notch, and they are bringing back that closeness that many schools lost during the pandemic. Caraway is exemplary in academics, and yet also has a small neighborhood school feel to it. Faculty and staff

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageConcerns persist about the safety of the playground at Green Belt, where children often play amidst potential hazards. The area is known for its population of poisonous snakes and lizards, posing a significant risk to young adventurers. Compounding the issue, supervision by teachers is notably lax, leaving children vulnerable to accidents and injury.Incidents are frequently addressed re-actively, with emergency services summoned only after an unfortunate event occurs. The playground itself is strewn with stones and rocks, creating a hazardous environment where children are left unsupervised. This lack of oversight increases the likelihood of accidents, whether through falls or the actions of other students, who may inadvertently or intentionally cause harm.Despite repeated concerns raised by parents and caregivers, the school remains steadfast in its reluctance to amend its policies regarding supervision and playground safety. While advocating for independence in play, the current setup jeopardizes the well-being of young learners, potentially resulting in severe injuries such as eye damage from errant stones or getting bitten by a poisonous snake. Since my kids have been in the school I have heard of 4-5 serious stone injuries.Addressing these safety concerns is paramount to ensuring a secure and nurturing environment for all students. Proactive measures, including enhanced supervision and the removal of hazardous materials from the playground, are essential steps towards safeguarding the well-being of our children.Other Review2y ago - Pond Springs Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe transferred into Davis from out of district when our daughter was starting kindergarten, and it has been one of the best decisions of our family's life. The Davis community has welcomed us. The teachers and staff are supportive, creative, thoughtful, and skilled. Our daughter is now graduating from fifth grade, and we look back on our Davis years with gratitude and joy. We are so glad to have been a part of this wonderful school - thank you, Davis teachers and staff!!!Parent Review11mo ago - Austin Classical School
