Howard Burnham Elementary School

Polk is academically driven with a great group of teachers and administration staff! We moved from another state 2 years ago and have been consistently satisfied with our child's achievements and increased knowledge.

This is a horrible school, please do not bring your kids here.Not only the bilingual teachers bully your kids but they refuse to talk to the parents about the problem.This is why they have their reviews off in Google reviews, they know they are rude and bully kids so they don't want problems.

I absolutely love this school.My kids love to be hereI wish EPISD had kinder colab to keep my youngest here but sadly EPISD does NOT care and makes our special kids in colab change from school to school every year based on their needs and not on the kids mental adn social stability!

Overall, this school is very good, except for my experience with the woman at the front desk. Unfortunately, she often appears unfriendly, and because I am Asian and not fluent in English, I felt discriminated against when I had difficulty pronouncing my child’s teacher’s name. Instead of being patient, she seemed irritated and dismissive toward me, which made me feel very disrespected.If you are working in an educational environment with young students and their families, I believe it’s important to act with professionalism and kindness. I truly hope the school addresses this issue so that all parents—regardless of language or background—feel welcomed and respected.
