Club Hill STEM Elementary School

I’m a student the janitors awesome the teacher awesome Ms.McCarty is the best teacher hands down the students super friendly even tho it’s small it’s a good school

The school counselor and nurse are wonderful.As far as family engagement goes, the school mainly welcomes parents for raising funds and volunteering. Some teachers welcome parent involvement in your child's education. But others do not respond to emails, and worse, the principal almost never responds to emails. My child was there for 6 years and I probably sent less than 5 emails over the years. Between my two children, having attended four Garland ISD schools, this is the only school with principals that ignored almost all attempts from me to communicate with them (whether it was a concern or praise). The one time my concern was not ignored was when my child's bullying on the bus was reported to the district instead of just the school.Like most schools, some of the teachers are amazing, but some seem like they are there for a paycheck and pension. The best part of this school is that it is a magnet for kids who are found to be gifted through certain tests. If you have any experience with these kids, you realize that even though people may think they have it easy, many of these kids have personalities that other kids find socially awkward. It is wonderful that there is a magnet where these kids have an opportunity to work with other kids that may have similar ways of learning and socializing.

Teachers talk to students badly while pointing in their face and put hands on students. Other students threaten with weapons and they never get checked .Ms Allen is a poor principle . They retaliate of you call the district on them

I do NOT recommend this school. They do not care about the personalities of the people they hire, just that they will work. So many rude teachers and administrators at this school, not to mention it is insanely disorganized and not safe for kids to grow. There are fights constantly, most go unreported because the teachers don’t care enough to do anything about it. IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CHILD’S MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, DO NOT ENROLL THEM HERE! I also suspect they have substandard teaching levels, as both kids have needed tutoring at this school but have not struggled before they transferred here.

In 2022, I registered my kids for pre-K and kindergarten at Lake Cities Montessori. They've been consistently participating in the after-school care program ever since. The teachers at the school have shown remarkable dedication and care for the students, establishing a nurturing and supportive learning atmosphere. overall I rate Lake Cities Montessori as a very good school and I would recommend them any time.Mary M.
