I have seen a great personal and academic development in my son. Thank you

If your thinking of being a teacher there don’t the environment is extremely toxic. Respect is 0 from administration. I don’t recommend anyone working here. Teachers have up to 40 students in their classroom it’s unfair to everyone especially the children.

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

Pleasant experience with the school and staff.

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.
