Diamond Hill Elementary School

Won’t include details in fear of retaliation. My child attended here last school year (2023-2024). Our experience was really overwhelmingly bad. The bus was often broken down leaving kids stranded at school. They would call and say that I should have been at the school 20 minutes ago (how was I supposed to know?) they then threatened to call CPS on me because the bus broke down and they didn’t notify me to pick up my child. The principal was also extremely condescending towards me, asking me questions about my marriage whenever my child would be late (usually doctor’s appointments). I did not feel supported as a parent and I often felt like my child was targeted because he wasn’t receiving enough support at school. Even though we have IEPs and 504s in place. My child is also disabled, so he did have a special class he went to. This is in no way an attack on his teachers. They were amazing. This is a review about the office staff and primarily the principal. No one that unprofessional should be in charge of hundreds of students and staff members.

This school should be a school of choice. Athletics, lots of clubs and extracurriculars, UIL, garden, STEM school, Blue Zone, After School Program, and extremely loving and dedicated teachers!

I called to speak with the principal about getting my child enrolled, and I dont know if i caught her at a bad time, she woke up on the wrong side of the bed, or it was her everyday regular foul attitude; but she came off as combative for literally no reason. You would think that being in an education profession, that effective communication, constructive listening, and not talking OVER someone would be a simple concept and learned skill. If our exchange went the way that it did with me asking a SIMPLE question, I couldn't imagine how it would be if a real issue arose during the school year. I think im gonna try my luck at homeschooling next year. Because FWISD as a whole is pure sewer water

Horrible toxic administration! Disrespectful students! Low morale zombie teachers. Never in a million years would I teach here, send my child there!!!
