Cannon Elementary School

Top notch staff and teachers. Engaged children. Involved parents. Great pto. Old union is the best!

My daughter has been attending this school since 1st grade (she is now in 5th). From what I have seen, the teachers all have an invested interest in their students. They try very hard to include parents and create as many opportunities as possible for parents to be involved. I wish we had more parent involvement, but I would possibly feel that anywhere. This is a great school that celebrates diversity and culture. The district is terrible, one-sided and self-serving. So it's no wonder this school has maintained as many wonderful teachers as they have. *Also, the district voted to disband the dual-language program... so if you see it listed anywhere, it will be eliminated at this campus after the 2026-2027 school year. ** The building itself is the oldest elementary in the district, and I believe it is first on the agenda for improvements.

The leadership at this school has been disappointing. The principal frequently brings personal relationship issues into the workplace, which creates an uncomfortable and distracting environment for staff and undermines professionalism.There also appears to be clear favoritism toward one counselor, while other staff members are left out of communication and collaboration. Doors are often closed, and meaningful interaction with teachers and support staff is limited, making it difficult to address concerns or work as a cohesive team.Effective school leadership should be impartial, approachable, and focused on students and staff—not internal conflicts or selective relationships. Unfortunately, this administration falls short in those areas, and it has negatively affected morale and trust within the school.

We were at a prior christian private school for 10 years and without a doubt Grapevine Faith follows through with their commitments to each student and family. We have seen a transformation in our child that is God lead and fostered by the amazing relationships he has made with his peers, coaches and teachers! We are bringing our daughter over in the fall and she is so excited to be a lion!

My kid had the worst school experience in that place. It has good teachers, but one of them (the one that gave him classes every day) was very, very xenophobic. I thought I was leaving my kid in a safe place, where xenophobia would not happen (considering it is a religious environment), but it was completely the opposite. Some kids are xenophobic too. In our country, my son used to come back home with a big smile on his face. When I was picking him up at Holy Trinity I never knew what I would wait for. One day a teacher mistreating him, another day a kid mistreating him…and more than one day I had my kid crying inside the car. Every time I remember what we passed during his period at that school, I cry. I feel guilty for causing such trauma in my kid. Thank God we found the perfect school for him, the one that he goes and comes back everyday with a big smile on his face, where he was welcome since the first day. He is listened, respected, understood, and can be himself again. If you are an immigrant, and your company can afford to pay a private school, don’t put your kid in that place. Public schools are more used and prepared to receive a foreign student. This place, for sure, no.
