Claybon Elementary School

The school seems very mundane. It's not lively, but very dull. It almost feels like a prison. I witnessed some teachers yell at the students like a tag team. You could be stern and get your point across instead of yelling. My kids have been fortunate to have some pretty decent teachers throughout the years but I feel as a whole the school and districts can do better. In comparison to the other schools in the district Criswell seemed to be left behind. Its in need of a major update from the building to the teachers and staff members attitudes.

We love Crosby! The teachers genuinely care about their students, and my daughter’s teacher always keeps me informed about her progress and we have never had any issues with any teacher. The office staff is friendly, attentive and helpful. The principal is engaging, kind, and always involved in creating a positive school environment. Mrs Bailey or Mrs Long literally drive to your students house to present a certificate and yard sign if your child is student of the month. I love that! One of the things I appreciate most is the warm and welcoming atmosphere—there is always a principal or teacher at the door greeting the kids with smiles and hugs. The school also has a great behavior reward system that encourages positive actions, and they offer a variety of after-school clubs and activities to keep students engaged. Most importantly, my child feels safe and happy here, which means the world to me as a parent.

Great school! Tag program which is phenomenal
