Glenhope Elementary School

I go there.Best school ever.Only half like prison

My daughter has been attending this school since 1st grade (she is now in 5th). From what I have seen, the teachers all have an invested interest in their students. They try very hard to include parents and create as many opportunities as possible for parents to be involved. I wish we had more parent involvement, but I would possibly feel that anywhere. This is a great school that celebrates diversity and culture. The district is terrible, one-sided and self-serving. So it's no wonder this school has maintained as many wonderful teachers as they have. *Also, the district voted to disband the dual-language program... so if you see it listed anywhere, it will be eliminated at this campus after the 2026-2027 school year. ** The building itself is the oldest elementary in the district, and I believe it is first on the agenda for improvements.

I’m honestly shocked there are bad reviews. Our 2 year old attended daycare at TLE in Southlake prior but we pulled him because we wanted better nutrition for our son, his teachers were rotating frequently, and he would come home with bites on his face from other kids.Waypoint has been better than we even expected. Our son was able to put on his own shoes and jacket, prep basic snacks (peel eggs, wash fruit, etc), go potty, do basic chores (laundry and unload dishwasher), and speak basic Spanish phrases before age 2 and we attribute his growth directly to the support he gets from his guides. Every time we attend conference we learn that he has abilities we didn’t even know about.During observations what stood out to me is the calm in the classroom compared to our previous daycare. It might partially be because he’s with older kids also, but I feel the guides really help to teach the kids about manners, consideration for others, and calm. They cook whole foods only and that gives us peace of mind because our family doesn’t normally give processed or sugary foods while he’s at this age.I saw comments about the head of school and I’d say, while we don’t necessarily hear from her frequently, when I see her she seems to know my child individually and can tell me details of his behavior and preferences which I think is telling.All in all, I’d highly recommend this school! I’m really grateful for what they’ve done for our son so far.
