Incredible school! Amazing teachers, staff, and parent involvement.

My child was new to the school in 23-24 and had a great experience! It was world’s better than where she attended the previous year. So grateful for Aledo ISD for this much needed change. Everyone is very responsive, especially administration. They are quick to respond to emails and phone calls.

Our daughter is very excited to return to The Anderson School, in September for her third year! I just read a review, here, which led me to musing about the core values of this school: modeling for children a joy for learning; quickly assessing their strengths and challenges; requiring respectful and honest communication between the teachers and students as well as amongst the students themselves. I noted last year, many of the new students had this “look of dread about school” when they first came to visit. Many had not had teachers who “got them.” At the end of the year, as I sat watching every student perform in the play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” each one was beaming with an effusive sense of accomplishment! This school is truly magical in that discipline meets imagination within these walls, where confident yet humble Leaders emerge.

We have been at Walsh ES since 2022, and my children have been enrolled in grades K-4th grade, respectively. The teachers are caring and invested, the administration is approachable and has been nothing but supportive of my children and me, and the school does a great job building a sense of community through programs throughout the year.
