Jane A Hambric School

This school is very extreme. Either very good or very bad but more often than not I’ve experienced staff with extremely bad attitudes. Mean. Frankly I’m tired of it. There’s a way to talk to people and that way is not it. My child has sensitivity issues and tends to be late more often than not (we’re working on it and slowly improving) but has never missed school without a valid reason. They haven’t said anything about the tardies really though they do know we have a struggle. My child missed school because of pink eye. I sent up the excuse note and got it excused. THEN I GET A CALL ABOUT HER ATTENDANCE BECAUSE SHE MISSED SCHOOL FOR HAVING PINK EYE. we started to get in a routine where we were pretty much on time most of the time, and today we were. I pulled in a parking spot, got out, opened the back door and was trying to get my daughter, who of course is not cooperating, and maybe 15sec after opening the door, the parking lot lady comes up with an attitude yelling “hey hurry up” gestures to a car that just pulled up trying to get in the parking spot, taking her hands gesturing dramatically, while aggressively shooting daggers at me with her eyes. Like? You think that’s appropriate? Lady I’m not the one to be disrespectful to. I’m not purposefully taking 15 seconds but if it’s that big of deal instead of being a jerk why don’t you come help. It’s 15sec. I understand that car is in a hurry SO AM I. The one thing I will say is that the front desk lady and the principle are quite fantastic and I really appreciate them. they’re quite wonderful people. There was another time I dropped my child off a little bit late, and I dropped her off at the front of the school, while watching her walk in (it was maybe 10ft) another mother did the same thing with a kid the same age. Someone covering the front desk has my child sit there, then comes out and only yells at me for not walking her completely inside. Right after another child went in and nothing was said. A lot of the staff need a class on manners and approach. They need to learn just because they are staff doesn’t mean they get to treat parents and may be kids, who knows, like they’re stupid. Demeaning a parent for little things that they allow others to do is ridiculous. When im approached like that, im cop an attitude right back. Then it’ll be made that the parents are the problem.

Needed to leave a review. We REALLY love the Principal, Teachers, and staff. The team at this school has done an absolute amazing job. Our kiddos have progressed amazingly and love this elementary school. Lots of school activities we felt very much apart of the school community with all the events. I would encourage anyone to attend the school.

I HATE IT! I HATE IT I JHAYE !

If I could rate zero stars I would. Worst staff, lead by RUDE administration.Failed to provide answers in a timely manner regarding child’s needs or concerns or completely dismissed until our “upcoming meeting” weeks away.Allowed staff who had no business calling Childs medical providers calling to verify notes and allowed medical notes to be passed around like a Sundays paper then told by admin “just drop it because I know how you can get & you know how I can get”When staff would try helping my child or us as parents they would be reprimanded and told not to speak or reach out.As educators they are there to help students and in fact staff at this school has done the opposite. When teacher was asked why they didn’t speak up about child’s needs & class room observations teachers response was “what’s the point” as in i opted my child out of STAAR testing and the school year is over so why speak up.This school is an absolute joke.I hope staff gets the training they ALL need to assist parents/ guardians/ caretakers and most importantly the children going forward. Maybe even suggest an engagement training at the next TEPSA conference to start living up to that mission of “Together, we will continue striving for excellence and fostering a nurturing environment where every child can thrive.” Because the environment that’s at that school is far from that!Please start being #AllIN or move over so someone who truly cares can step in :)
