Pat Cooper Elementary School

I used to go there and I loved it sooo much it was so fun but not when people would get into fights and arguments and stuff.

My student has 6/20 students in her 5th grade class that her special needs. I feel that this distracts from the rest of the class's learning as the teacher and other students must wait to help the special students with more understanding and learning. The kids that need special education should in fact have a special education class that they can go to, they should not be mixed in with the other students, they are special for a reason, and not in a bad way.Furthermore, the children no longer have grades in the classes. They have a "mastered" or "approaching" next to the different categories that they have gone over. I can't disagree with this more. Why is there no homework? Why do we have no grades on the assignments? Why is the learning curve so steep? I wish I could afford a private education for my child at this point. I feel like she is beyond held back by this school specifically. Maybe it's the entire GISD, maybe it's just Frost Elementary.They've also stopped calling holidays by their name as of this year. Last year they had no problem saying Halloween or Thanksgiving, now it's all politically correct nonsense.

We just finished our first year at Mitchell and had an amazing year. Staff was kind, caring, and very responsive to any/all questions. My son blossomed over the year and is excited and happy to go to school each day! We can't wait for another year at Mitchell!

We love Zion Lutheran! We have 3 kids there and are so appreciative with their education in a faith based school.

This school went drastically downhill in the 24/25 school year. Its far from montesorri like they advertise. The only montesorri they do is in prek and kinder. After that your child now has endless amounts of workbooks and testing, limited amount of movement. And forget about going outside or recess if its bad weather, a little cold (like 65 or under), over 80. Because there is no indoor gym. On top of that nothing is screened. My child learned about several adult topics from YouTube videos her teacher put on. Every other week they watched Disney movies. Its a glorified daycare. And thats being kind. A daycare would be more growth. There hasn't been an orchard in almost 2yrs. They advertise it for new families. But thats just to get people excited. If people are thinking of this school please dont. Its all sugar coated and none of it is true. Several families are moving on to new schools now. We wish we never had to move. Unfortunately its a choice we had to make.
