Stephen C Foster Elementary School

Love this school i have been in 3 different disd schools in this area and joe may is by all means my favorite they have the best teachers and have are very patient especially with the special education program which is why i had to move my kids so much due to rude teachers in other schools that did not want to deal with my son and his disabilities. I love joe may and have placed all of my children on transfer just to attend this school. I recommend to everyone! Best school!!!

JT Saldivar Elementary tiene que ser una de las mejores escuelas primarias en el Distrito Independiente de Dallas. Los estudiantes usualmente se portan bien y los maestros son muy trabajadores. Las empleadas en la oficina, como la Sra. Aguilar, la Sra. Leyba, y la Sra. Medina, son muy simpáticas también. La escuela tiene clases bilingües para la mayoría de los estudiantes, y también hay programas fuertes de divulgación para la comunidad. Hay estudiantes en todos los grados entre Pre-K y sexto grado. No sé si él apoya a los maestros de manera suficiente, pero el director es inteligente, accesible, y habla español. Las subdirectoras son muy trabajadoras y simpáticas. JT Saldivar Elementary has to be one of the best elementary schools in the Dallas Independent District. Students usually behave well and teachers are very hard-working. The employees in the office, such as Mrs Aguilar, Mrs Leyba and Mrs Medina, are very friendly too. The school has bilingual classes for most students, and there are also strong outreach programs for the community. There are students in all of the grades between Pre-K and 6th. I don't know if he supports teachers enough, but the principal is intelligent, approachable, and speaks Spanish. The vice principals are very hardworking and kind.

We absolutely love this school! The teachers and staff are incredibly dedicated and genuinely invested in the students. My son feels happy, safe, and encouraged every day. The school does a wonderful job balancing strong academics with character development and community. We feel very lucky to be part of such a supportive and welcoming environment.

I had a very disappointing experience with Oak Hill Academy, especially considering how strongly the school markets itself as a place for children with speech delays, ADHD, and other learning differences.We came in expecting a supportive and understanding environment, and instead left feeling confused, judged, and honestly a bit shocked.After just a trial day, I was told my child was not invited back — with very little clear explanation. For a school that specializes in children who may need time to adjust, this felt extremely premature and contradictory to what they advertise. Children with communication challenges don’t always show their best on day one — that’s exactly why families seek out schools like this.What was most concerning was the lack of professionalism and communication. When my child was struggling to express something on the playground, I experienced a moment from a staff member that felt dismissive — including an eye roll — rather than supportive or patient. As a parent, that is incredibly unsettling, especially in a school that is supposed to be equipped to handle communication challenges with care and understanding.Instead of guidance or collaboration, I was left with more questions than answers.If this school is truly designed to support children with different learning needs, there should be more patience, clearer communication, and a willingness to work with families — especially on a first visit.Unfortunately, our experience did not reflect the inclusive and supportive environment that is promoted.I would not recommend based on our experience.
