Burton Hill Elementary School

Both of my kids went through A.V. Cato Elementary School. The first impression I received was from their front office staff. The staff was welcoming and immediately stopped what they were doing and turned the attention to helping me. Always attentive to parents at the front door. Keeping it safe for all by ensuring safety checks for all who enter this public building. Teachers are encouraging and supportive. This is evident in my kids when they see them at local parades and football games. They acknowledge them and my kids faces light up when the teachers wave and or approach them to say Hi. Top notch education and supportive material to help them be successful within their individual needs. Technology is top tier! STEM activities are top tier!Early Readers and skill development in their age group/levels PK-5th is unmatched!They also have given my family great family events to attend at the school. All FREE! I would choose A.V. Cato elementary school again and again!!

Hate this school! Don't send your kids here!! Hopefully my son get accepted to fwisd school of choice program next year. My son teacher yells at him and he afraid to go to school! Teacher said that he cannot ask question if he does not know how to do the work he is suppose to work independently . He is a 1st grade student. Hate this school

This school is a gem. Our daughter regularly reminds us that she loves her school. The school leadership, teachers and staff are all committed to serving every child. My daughter is in 3rd grade and has grown both emotionally and academically in a very supportive environment. The community of parents have been wonderful as well, driving great programming through the PTA like the fall festival, movie nights, chili cook offs, and so many more. Additionally we have great extra curricular activities for children like the Shovels and Whisks group, which both learns about planting food (i.e. shovel) and making fun, nutritious recipes (i.e. whisk). All around a great educational environment both academically and emotionally.

This is an awful school. Avoid at all cost. My son was just given a tablet with full access to the internet all day. The school is just a glorified day care center. Your child will leave this school with a far below grade reading and zero math skills.

The school staff do not care about the children. From being left with no supervision after school during sports practices involved with the school, teachers singling out children who score lower than others - photos included of kids who “meet standards” while other kids sit and watch - feeling lesser than, kids being left alone on playgrounds with zero supervision next to highway 30 - the school blames the soccer organization that they hired to work with - this is not the school you want your child involved with. My kids self esteem has gone way down.
