Natha Howell Elementary School

This school is a joke. If your child has special needs don’t bring them here. They lied to me about the resources and the help they could provide to my daughter putting me in a very bad spot as a single parent. They offer a 504 plan but say they don’t have enough staff to accommodate my child but kept encouraging me and giving me false hope that things were going in the right direction. Even had me go out my way to get paperwork from my daughter’s therapist to see how they could help knowing they didn’t have the staff. That’s what they told me but I feel like because my daughter wasn’t making their job easy they wanted her out. So all in the same day they had me pick her up because she had a hard time in the computer and on top of that called me later and said she can’t attend. The lady I spoke to kept offering half days but would also say “but due to staff we will probably still call you to pick her up” before I wasn’t getting any calls about her behavior just about her not feeling well so I’m not sure what’s the real problem but this school isn’t right for special needs children.

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!!!

This school staff and teachers could not be any better than you could ask for. They work with the students on their level and work to make them better from where they start at. The teachers all work so well together and realize that they all have an ultimate goal to teach the children and it's not a competition or which tea her is better. I could not recommend a better school than Birdville Elementary. Even the principal is out everyday getting kids in and out of the car line and getting every student with a hug and positivity.

Judgement on my daughter. Didn't want to help her. She was having trouble with math and they didn't help her! Overall didn't like her and neglected her in her education. My daughter has nightmares still to this day on how they treated her! She went 5 years ago. I had to pull her out and tell them she is not coming back! She was constantly being picked on and always a target! I'm not surprised it's permanently closed, thank God! No more children have to go thru such treatments!
