George Peabody Elementary School

Great school my kids been going there since PK3. Teachers are really nice and the staff. My kids has been learning a lot from that school. I would recmmend this school for y'all's kids.

Best skool in Dallas Texas i went ther it good :)

Anson Jones Elementary was one of the most disappointing school experiences my son has ever had. We withdrew him in December, and it was the best decision we could’ve made. We moved from Mesquite ISD to Dallas ISD after relocating, and enrolling him here ended up hurting his education instead of helping it.From the very first week, my son said he struggled to understand his teachers because most instruction in his classroom was spoken mainly in Spanish. He does not speak Spanish, and he told me he felt confused, excluded, and unable to follow along. No child should feel like they can’t learn simply because they don’t speak the same language as their teacher.My son also has dyslexia and previously received support in Mesquite ISD, including speech therapy and the Take Flight dyslexia program. At enrollment, I provided his IEP and all documentation. Despite this, months went by with zero communication from the school about services. No accommodations were put in place, and no ARD meeting was ever scheduled. It felt like his needs were completely ignored.My son even told me that when he explained to his teacher he couldn’t understand instructions and needed help, she told him he “needed to pay more attention.” Hearing that was extremely concerning.I brought these issues to the principal several times. Every time, I was told the special education department would contact me. They never did. By December—nearly halfway through the school year—my son was still receiving no services, no support, and no accommodations at all, even though his needs were documented and legally required.We decided to withdraw him and return to Mesquite ISD. Within two weeks of re-enrollment, Mesquite reviewed all of his records, placed him in the correct classes, and restarted his services immediately. This made it clear the problem was not the paperwork—it was the lack of action at Anson Jones Elementary.Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this school to any parent, especially if your child has learning differences or needs accommodations. My son did not feel supported or included, and he did not receive the educational services he was entitled to. Withdrawing him was the only way to make sure he received the education he deserves.

I was surprised to read a few of the negative reviews recently, but I know everyone’s experience is different. I’ve had two children at this school since 2022, and a third about to join. We are so happy to have found Rosemont! My kids are in the dual-language program. They love their teachers and I’ve never had them come home from a school day upset. They are excited to tell me about topics they are covering in school, and the things they do with their friends. I’ve found the community involvement is uniquely strong— in addition to the highly active PTA there is a robust dad’s club affiliated with the school that goes on quarterly camping trips with the kids, does fundraisers, and sponsors events. At the end of the year there is a week during which local streets close to encourage student biking, ending with a longer group bike ride and celebration in downtown Bishop Arts. The school also offers many extracurricular offerings including a running club, Pom team, chess, dance, and more. Both our children were attending a great private school in our old city, and while the resources are obviously somewhat less, we’ve had a really nice experience and are very happy at Rosemont.

I went to this school and I had the best education, the teachers would even help students that were struggling, and all the teachers and staff]s were nice people.
