Benjamin Doc Kerley Elementary School

Classroom management exceeds expectations. Kids are engaged, excited, and challenged. Teachers support learners of all levels and work hard to make lessons engaging and inclusive of other subjects.

Caring, considerate and hardworking staff that tries to put a smile on every students face everyday. Amazing. 100 times better than any 9 point school in Austin. Diversity and Inclusion at its best. Pray that it continues to be so.

This school has been amazing we transferred from another school where my daughter really struggled. Now she is excelling and happy.

My child just started and I must say the experience has been awful. His teacher has an attitude and cannot handle pressure. Her frustration showed all the way through our conversation. There are not many adults outside in the morning to monitor these kids. I pray that one doesn’t dart out in to the middle of the street! Definitely miss his previous school. If I could move out of the hutto district I would. One of Worst districts hands down. 0 stars!

I was worried my grand daughter would be held back after we moved to Texas from Oregon. She hated school and was not doing well. She was entering 3rd grade at beginning first grade level. I spoke with the principle, Ms. Patureau and she came in and actually tested my grand daughter herself. She advised that she believed my grand daughter had learning disabilities. The schools in Oregon never even tested her. She recommended more testing and NOT holding her back. After the testing was completed, we went to the school for a meeting to receive the results. I was blown away! When we arrived, there were 11 teachers present to talk about what they tested her for, how they tested her, what the results meant and most importantly, their plan for moving forward to help her succeed. She was diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia. Unbelievable engagement and effort by the exceptional staff at Veterans Hill Elementary. After one year, she tested at mid 2nd grade level, after two years, she is only slightly behind. Additionally, she now loves school and she loves her teachers! She also participates in extra curricular activities like choir, chess club and girl scouts. I am so grateful, thank you to all the staff at Veterans Hill!

Great staff that truly care about the children!
