Willbern Elementary School

This is not the best school to send your children. The teachers leave a bit to be desired. And the bus situation for some kids are horrible. And the Jersey Village police just want your money and will give you tickets trying to just get your child to school because they dread riding the bus.and no I was not driving reckless at all

Excellent with helping when going through a crisis as well as with special needs kids. I am blessed to have them in my two kids life. No problem. Great teachers and staff. Great school. Love the diversity. Everyone is equal. 4th grade son and my special needs child attend here. They provided everything so that they would be together in our crisis ie . Transportation counseling, expedient response in our crisis. Very passionate staff.

The 2022-2023 school year at Emmott Elementary for my kids has been very disappointing. I have a child in 1st grade and one in 3rd grade. Some of their teachers this year have pushed my kids to dislike school which has made it difficult for me to engage and help them. First, there has been such lack of communication from some of their teachers; the assistant principles only reach out after I had to send emails of issues about the teachers (unresolved) My daughter has a new teacher she doesn't engage well, I only spoke with her during field day, she advertently let me know she gave my daughter a passing grade for reading but then said it was a mistake and that she would call me to discuss, never happened and yes my daughter is stilll passing. My son's 7th week of school and his 1st grade teacher tells me he needs special education help. I say do your own research about (HB3)funding and teacher incentives I will leave that there! Secondly, I was on a conference with 2 teachers whom I never spoke to ever that's been helping my daughter with reading. I was accused by one of the teachers of not having the correct contact # on file and I quickly sent them a screenshot email proving my number has been updated since the beginning of the year because I get voicemails of upcoming hiring events, attendance etc.. I realized that specific teachers (not all the teachers) are not being held accountable for their mistakes from management there's lack of ownership as a whole, lack of belonging, engagement and inclusion for my kids this year. Again, I am only speaking from my experience not all teachers at Emmott lack. My daughter has been fortunate to have 1 really good teacher this year thank god. Lastly, I thought after-school tutoring would help but the school doesn't have specific resources to tutor in smaller groups, I quickly realized after-school tutoring wasn't helping my son after I found out he ended up with different teachers and was not getting help on what he needed. This review is only depicted on my experience from a couple of their teachers and not doesn't reflect on other kids or teachers at Emmott. Parents are here to help, and it's hard to do when there is lack of communication and engagement from teachers. From other Emmott reviews I see on google, Emmott is 50% below average, I don't have actual data just doing my research like any parent would. I would add a lot more but Im limited on characters for this review.

I had to pick up my grandson this afternoon …the 2 women that I first HAD to sadly lay eyes on were the most uninviting…unmannered ….disconnected..uncouth people …. Did not even smiled or said Hi or just feel welcomed …. They both looked unhappy and had a stank look in their face … after I told them who I was picking up they both basically just with their dismissive manners continued with their personal conversation about someone not being appreciative about a car … my point is that it’s an elementary school and they both with their unwelcoming attitudes should prob be in the cafeteria behind closed doors where nobody sees and hears them… please rethink who you have in the front it pretty much represents the school ….

Excellent school. Very impressed with the teaching staff. Especially the special education department.
