Bruce Shulkey Elementary School

Our teacher this year is terribly inconsiderate and does not have our child best interest in mind.

My children have been going to JT Stevens for 5 years and I thoroughly enjoyed them going to school here UNTIL the new principal they got in the 2024-2025 school year. The teachers are lovely and always doing their best to support the students. As a parent to a special education student, I feel they do their best to support my child’s IEP. However, this new principal has zero people skills. She’s rude and has an attitude during any interaction I’ve had with her, which is crazy because I have never had issues with my interactions with school staff as I’m very friendly and understanding. She doesn’t allow students to bring snacks for their birthdays anymore, which is wild. My husband and I will be moving both of our children out of the school district after this year due to her. Would NOT suggest JT Stevens while she is the principal here.

Low scores. Look up the school report card on TEA website. It is the lowest score possible. The school needs a new administration. Ms. Cortina has been there for years and she has not been able to improve the school.

My child has been in this school since kindergarten currently now in 3rd grade. We had issues since the fist day we stared ,the teachers have no communication and no control of un behaved students. I was able to witness this situation during online class. Somehow the same un behave students keep been placed in the same class as my child. My child comes home & mentions the same names of this students always having behavioral issues, bullying & harassment to my child & other class mates. I have spoken to teachers , staff and principals, but nothing has changed! There has been points where my kid cries about assisting this school. I really tried giving this school a chance but there is always one thing or another. There is really rude staff they need more professionalism it seems like they hate the job! I don’t feel comfortable leaving my child around this type of adults I can not imagine how they treat our poor kids if they don’t know how to treat parents. As a parent I do not feel welcome there is no activity where parents are able to assist & come see kids participate or have communication with teachers we basically don’t know what really goes on inside this school ! I really do not recommend this school they need to have some changes done! I am currently looking for another school who has better education & communication. If you really care about your children take some time to find a good school! Woodway is not it!!

My experience with this school for the past two years, is academically excellent. My daughter loved her teachers and friends at school. However, we are moving to another area of Crowley. I give the school 4 stars because I highly agree that the school does not know how to deal with bullying (experienced this with my grandchildren who came from out of state. Nor did the school do well with emotional support. None-the-less, teachers are there to teach and WITH parental support, bullying, emotional support, and academics will depend on home support. Raising a child and the success of your student STARTS AT HOME.

This school has so much spirit. From the minute the child enters, it's go time. They have all the activities and sports a kid could want. The curriculum is highly advanced with small classes and amazing teachers. Love and discipline are two of their values. And unlike some posts on here, diversity does exist and there is most definitely a Christ centered approach. They have a Bible lesson everyday and chapel once a week. This is a school for Christians. The scholarships for the senior graduates is impressive. Our daughter absolutely loves it there.
