Birkes Elementary School

I am sorry but I only tells to the parents to please checkout other elementary options. This school is becoming a non serious school. Look their rating from 2019 onwards. Keep declining. no one is interested to encourage a good students. They don’t care about producing the good students.

I love this school very much. The principal, teachers, and staff are so friendly and care too much about my kids and parents. Special Education here is the best with the teacher of the year. I refer my friends to this school and they love it too. Highly recommend to everybody.

My child attended Fiest for three years before we decided to withdraw them. Unfortunately, our experience was marked by poor communication from the school. Information was often provided at the last possible moment, if at all, and teachers rarely communicated with us regarding lessons when we inquired.During the first year, the teacher went on leave, and a permanent substitute was assigned to the classroom. We were not given any means to communicate with this new employee. School work wasn't sent home until the last two weeks of school.In the second year, the teacher was a recent graduate. Our child frequently complained about the teacher crying and yelling at students. Despite raising our concerns, no action was taken. The third year was the best of the three, but even then, we were never informed about ways to help our child succeed when we prompted the teachers.Throughout all three years, the teachers seemed more focused on managing misbehaving children rather than supporting students who were eager to learn. I believe this issue is partly due to CFISD's inadequate disciplinary measures. They tend to use group punishments instead of addressing the actual problem children, which undermines the incentive for well-behaved students to continue their good behavior and academic efforts.If you are merely seeking childcare and are not concerned about your child's academic progress, this school may suffice. However, if you are looking for a solid educational foundation for your child's future, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

This is an amazing school for 3 of my kids. I've seen them all develop and learn and thrive. If you read some of these one star reviews they are incredibly unfair and disingenuous picking on one or two situations. One has to wonder how these people are even functioning in society at all. The level of engagement at Rennell with teachers and the parents is astonishing and welcome. Each year I have to sign up on the same day the "Watchdad" volunteer list comes out or I will not be able to get a spot. My understanding is that Teachers want to teach here and will often leave surrounding schools in order to to upgrade. The principle is amazing and really sets an inclusive culture. All 3 of my children have enjoyed there time here and have excelled at Rennell.
