Clara Oliver Elementary School

I am quite often frustrated and feel like I am left out of the loop because I am a working parent who can not commit to being in the PTO. Information is never sent out in a timely manner, concerns are never addressed

I use to go to this school and it was the best the school would accept 80% or higher as a test. the teacher worked their hardest. Our score for STAAR test was 91%

Terrible that have left a mental scar on my grandson

As stated earlier in my review of this school, Pre-k thru 2nd, I would highly recommend this school, but when it comes to the upper levels (3rd-5th), the school has a lot of weaknesses. If some, not all, of the upper level teachers & leaders of the school could get along, (tension) wouldn't AFFECT the student's learning & growth environment, which it has, and their test score would probably improve significantly. In other words, do not let how you feel about one another spill over into the classroom and negatively impact the students. I'm sure most you went to college to have a positive impact in students' lives. I'm who I am today because of good, wholesome, old-school teachers and counselors who cared for my well-being. :)

They are bullying parents and kids into buying there 30.00 hoodies or our kids cannot wear there jackets inside the building. The temperature has definitely changed. None of these is conflicting with a childs learning. Some parent but what they can afford. I was able to but 2 jackets for 60.00 bucks but the next individual might not be able to. This school has a lot of unnecessary rules. Also, I went to my kids school 15 mins early to pick them up from driveline. I was told it's to early I would have to leave out the gate and come back around at 2:45. I literally had to drive all the way by big T and Polk and sit at the gas station for a couple minutes. When I got back the line was out the gate. They need someone knew to run this operation. I used to go here as a teenager and we didn't have all this congestion and unnecessary rules.
