Ebby Halliday Elementary School

DO NOT SEND YOUR STUDENTS TO THIS SCHOOL IF YOU WANT THEM TO GET AN ACTUAL EDUCATION!!! Dr.Nelson ( the principal ) will threaten to fire your teachers if they fail a student because they are not doing work. How can a student actually learn if everything is being handed to them? Students do not complete the work, but instead he wants us to lie about our grades so the ratings can stay up in the school can get more money.. students test, scorers or low and barely participate in the classrooms. They are vaping in the restroom, but they are focused on smaller issues within the school so he can put more money in his pocket.

This is a great school it has come a long way from what it was years ago both my kids are top of their class I have never had a problem with any of their staff. Also they are now a Leadership Academy

this school is horrible, do not recommend at all . This school has not been helping my child at all. The principal Rubinna Sanchez is so lazy that she took the 6th grade teacher and put them her into another class instead of finding a new substitute for the class. This school has been planning so much stuff as in, “new part of the building” or,”we will fix the portables” but instead they keep on buying raising canes and having teacher partys meaning they are spending all the funds on party’s instead of what the actual students need. The counselor doesn’t even teach the children my child came home to me and said,”the counselor got mad and instead of trying to calm us down, she whipped out her phone and started doing her own thing for the remaining 15minutes.” This school also always have substitutes working instead of actual teachers. DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL IT IS HORRIBLE

I am a grandparent do you have Grandparents Day?

This school is still geared toward Hispanics. My student's teacher is intentionally allowing him to fail while supporting the other children in the class. The teacher will allow the other children to redo work for a better score while giving my student no feedback at all and recording his low scores. All this even after I reached out to both teachers making them aware that I am an active parent and want to be kept abreast of my student's shortfalls. Nothing. No communication from any teacher unless I call the school and complain. Now I have to remove my student and teacher them from home, only because this public school in Dallas ISD cannot be trusted to educate children equitably. Also, they don't know how to communicate with the parents of new students, because having new students, in a public school, in a state that is experiencing growth, is a foreign concept to them.

School from the outside looks good. The inside is cool too,but I believe they have lousy teachers. They flunked my son in 1st grade cause they had little to go on,seeing as we moved from another state. They tell me my kids are behind when they were not in their home state.
