Pond Springs Elementary School

I am a bus driver also a teacher, the stories I hear about children's days. The stories I hear from parents. The way these teachers talk to children, shut up, stupid, I don't care! Now days it is so easy to make a child feel so little & worthless ( yall have no idea what some of these children go through at home). Suicidal rates are so high! It is our job as teachers to make these children feel loved & wanted to make them feel worth something to make them feel like one day they will conquer the world. And yall sit here & do the total opposite! I have had a whole year driving these children so sweet excited everyday & I've seen a big difference at dropping off.

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 kids can still be kids (an issue friends from neighboring schools are having). They have chickens and goats that the kids help take care of. I cannot recommend enough.

I used to love Thoa school. But bullying has gotten out of hand. My son was being verbally bullied. Yes, he threw the kids food out of his hands because he was being really disrespectful. So the kids punches my child twice in the face. They blame my kid. Don't hold the other child accountable. And thats it. Nada. No accountability, no discipline. Im ok with that. We will be transferring schools next year. This school has lost its class and has turned trashy with the people.And their teachers flip a lot. Or they never have enough in one grade so one teacher is struggling. Don't do it. There's pond springs and jollyville right down the street.

We have serious concerns about how this school handles discipline and academics. It strongly feels like our child is being singled out and unfairly targeted, with disproportionately heavy consequences compared to other students. This ongoing pattern has caused significant stress for our child and family.Additionally, the school failed to provide two core high school subjects for approximately 2–3 months, which are essential and tested subjects. During this time, no proper communication was made to parents, and no timely or effective action was taken to address the issue. This lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable, especially when it directly impacts students’ education and academic progress.We expect fairness, open communication, and responsible leadership from a school. Unfortunately, our experience has fallen far short of those expectations.
