Timberline Elementary School

The teachers are mostly inexperienced new hires because there’s been a mass exodus by experienced teachers due to lack of support, undermining, bullying, and humiliation of them by the current principal, TG. Poor administrator. Lack of support. To say this is a school that’s above average would be misleading, when children can pass the STAAR with 35% and at least more than half don’t meet standards. Disappointing.

I went to Glenhope on the ASPIRE program from 1st grade to 5th grade and I loved it! The teaching is top notch and we got to do so many fun and exciting projects! I had severe anxiety, and this school helped me overcome that in the best way. I am forever thankful to Glenhope for all its done for me. I'm also thankful for all the amazing Aspire teachers that helped me throughout the years!

We had a terrible experience at Waypoint and would not recommend it. Beautiful campus and traditional Montessori materials, however the administration, faculty, and curriculum are lacking. We found many of the teachers to be petty and unprofessional and many of the school policies archaic and bizarre (such as silent school tours where questions by parents are discouraged). The school is far more accommodating to quiet and introverted children, but not especially active, inquisitive, or precocious children. There is great emphasis on “practical life” activities, and insufficient focus on fundamental math and language. This puts children who attend Waypoint for nursery school at a disadvantage when they leave and enter traditional schooling. Specifically, many children are not at the age-appropriate ability level for math and reading upon leaving the school. There are many wonderful nursery schools in the area, Waypoint is not one of them.
