McLaughlin Strickland Elementary School

Me encanta que todo el personal es muy amable y el día viernes puedo disfrutar el almuerzo con min2 hijos

We are new to FBE this year and they have been nothing short of amazing for us. My daughter is in kindergarten. They have helped support through an ADHD diagnosis and provided resources for a 504 plan and specific support with great results. Thankful for the school leadership who is present, available, and there for the families.

Great school! Highly recommend. The teachers really care.

A once-reliable school is now expanding with non-functional systems, arrogant teachers (most, not all), declining academic performance, and overwhelming class sizes. No one pays attention to each child unless you are the child of an affluent person. Sadly, the costs and vibe about the school do not necessarily match the actual service delivery. The Academic Visitation should be an opportunity to listen to the teacher and, together, discuss the child's education, but it is not structured and not very good use of time for most interactions. It is instead a session where a teacher is asking a child where the missing marks are, interrogating a child and you are more less like a witness to the interrogation between the teacher and the child. It is so sad. I just hope the systems and the once Glory of Green Hill is restored and the children are supported to have a bright future, as is we shall continue to be in desperate situations as parents, especially parents who all they can do is to provide the best affordable education to their children. So sad to see the once powerful school decline that bad!

We discovered Arborcreek before our oldest child was born. My wife was raised in a Montessori environment and wanted the same for our kids. We toured many of the Montessori schools in Dallas and settled on Arborcreek due to the feel of the school, the warmth of the program and the adherence to the Montessori principles. That was 7 years ago and we are so happy with the decision that we made.Sima, the teachers and the staff are truly incredible. The care and attention that they give each child is tremendous. Through early childhood, we found them to be our partners in trying to make sure our kids were hitting the milestones that they should and were getting the social, emotional, and academic tools that they needed. Our 3 children each started in the infant room and their experience at Arborcreek is a big part of who they are now. We made a difficult decision as our kids got older to move to a school closer to our house. We kept our youngest at Arborcreek in spite of the commute as we love the school so much.You will read a common thread in the review...Arborcreek is a gem of a school. It interesting because that is how I typically describe it to our friends. It truly is a gem.
