Armstrong Elementary School

Where do I even begin. Pick-up is chaotic and unsafe. On one occasion, my 5- and 6-year-old were allowed to walk across the intersection of Douglas and Mockingbird. By the grace of God, I happened to be at that intersection at the time. When I brought this to the principal’s attention, I was told it was my children’s fault for not following instructions to turn back toward the school. They are five and six years old.How did both children believe their number was called, leave their designated area, walk out the front door, and reach an intersection without any adult stopping them or verifying where they were going? During pick-up there are adults and children everywhere, yet it appears no one truly has oversight of what is happening. This is extremely dangerous.Additionally, the bullying is severe and concerning. My children were the youngest in their classes during our first year at Bradfield, as many students are held back. It raises serious questions about whether this practice is being used to artificially inflate academic scores.

The new principal and counselor are insufferable. They care more about charitable contributions (for their own pockets) than academics. Their attention goes to the highest bidder. Not academically minded at all. Like one reviewer mentioned, all the good staff left.

Worst school. Stay away from this public underfunded school. Principal is uneducated

We love it here. It’s so great to see all my girls learning so much
