Cage Elementary School

We have had a great experience at Burnet, our son is advanced for his age and the teachers do a good job of differentiating the material for him. He is challenged by the dual language program which is a benefit for him. He is also exposed to students of all different backgrounds and abilities which has been great in helping him learn to interact with different kinds of people.

This school has failed my son. We have transferred schools and he is a whole grade level behind. Teaching 1st grade curriculum to 2nd graders. Failing his education has cost us financial with tutors to get him up to speed with the rest of the classmates HISD just pass kids through to Make there sub par teachers look good.

My son had a speech delay and almost immediately after starting here, he began speaking! This pre-school offers both English and Spanish classroom settings. It also focuses on allowing the student to become as independent as possible which may seem cold at first given their ages but proves to be so effective to their continued development and well-being in school. The teachers here, in my experience, have generally seemed polite, courteous, and eager to help with any of my concerns or questions. There are plenty of opportunities to volunteer and help out as parents. The administration in this school has been professional in my experience as well. The comments I read before allude to a rude front office staff; however, in my experience any curt behavior was mainly concerning the adherence to the written and communicated rules, or lack thereof. This school is small in actual physical size compared to other elementary schools; therefore, the rules limiting the amount of people and additional children (i.e. siblings) is strictly enforced. Please give this school a chance; it has surpassed my expectations and I am more than happy to be a part of it's community.

It would be nice if the mulch in the children’s playground was not dyed black. Every time a kid takes a tumble an article of clothing is rendered useless.
