Sgt. Roberto Ituarte Elementary School

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.

My granddaughter attends this school and loves it. The teachers seem genuinely caring towards the students and the special days/activities the school has keeps things interesting. The homework load for our 3rd grader doesn't seem overwhelming like some have mentioned. I am happy to see that they actually have spelling words to learn and practice their cursive writing...our previous schools in Killeen did not. I'm not sure why they do not provide bus pickup/drop-off for kids living more than a mile away...I am sure this is a district issue though, not school controlled. The pick up lines for car riders is well organized yet still horrid but I'm not sure how it could be improved upon either.

Run far away! My daughter has been attending this school for almost 3 years now. She was getting bullied for the first 2 years and the school did absolutely NOTHING about it. I hate to mention this but.. My daughter is a child of color. The teachers are also very rude and do not take your concerns into consideration when it’s brought to their attention. They report irrelevant things like your child being in the restroom using soap to wash their hands instead of reporting things like other children physically harming them. I have to hear it from my daughter and ask the teacher afterwards and then they tell me. Nothing ever happens as far as disciplinary action goes it just keeps happening. You can’t bring it to the attention of the principal or the front office because they do not care nor do they take action. Also, I’ve had a very bad experience with a male cross guard yelling at my daughter. It’s simply not ok. The experience by far has been the worst. I’ve also experienced times where the cafeteria has refused to give my child lunch when she gets free lunches. I have to pack her lunches everyday to make sure she eats. I do recommend this school whatsoever. Especially if your child is of color.

In my opinion 2 or 3 yrs ago it was a wonderful school teachers staff and families were involved but once they brought in Deena white as a principal she forgot to let our children be children,she forgot to involve all families in every grade,she forgot to let our children be united and have fun while learning, I have a adresed this concern many times to the district and even to the principal her self never have I received from either parties a response neither have other parents and even teachers who have also raised their concerns but like a lot of districts they have swept it under the rug, she is and will continue to run this school with no fundamentals of unity, kids are treated in my opinion like little soldiers following her needs her wants she is to demanding and strick no compassion, the school staff and kids deserve a fun loving compassion motivational Principal with ethic and love for ALL children no matter race or ethnicity a principal who follows discipline with Love.

As a concerned parent the teachers here lack the love of teaching they want to label your kids right away. I moved my son to a different school and I see such a difference in his grades and the way he sees school. He hated going to school at Sgt Jose f Carrasco for 3rd and 4th. Now he loves it at vista del sol science academy it’s a great school the teachers are awesome and engage the kids there.
