This school was a very upsetting and concerning experience for my child. My child would come home sad and upset and was no longer the same kid he used to be. There were times when he came home with bruises, scratches all over his body, and dirty clothes. I was also concerned because he wasn’t being
Posted by a parent on 8/24/2026I would recommend any parent that lives in the Irving ISD to seek education elsewhere. There is no diversity in the staff which has been proven as a barrier for African-American students. If 18% of the student body makeup is African American then the staff should reflect that as well. Mr. Pollard wi
Posted by a parent on 3/3/2022They promote children based on their age not their knowledge. They will promote a 5th grader to middle school with 2nd grade math skills. They don't have a program for special needs children that gets them ready for middle school. They treat them like preschoolers, then ship them off to middle schoo
Posted by a parent on 6/2/2020Very poor, they really need to up their game. Have students more interactive, use app or websites for learning skills, and send some ripe of home work or activities to keep kids minds active at home and even some in the summer time.
Posted by a parent on 1/24/2020The teachers are helpful and involved in my kid and his progress. He has grown from the quiet kid to an outspoken young man

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSchool is very engaging this past year 25-26. Teachers and staff engaged frequently on DOJO, email and text about upcoming events, trips, teacher/student class engagement and more. They will send me pictures as well with permission obviously what they do, accomplish and celebrate. They celebrate success which is awesome. Son was student of the month, TAG and recognitions for behavior. It was a pretty awesome experience. Since it was my first time attending the school I didn’t knew the ins & outs so their are some rules to follow i.e. no getting out of the vehicle while in the line to pick up and drop off.School is clean in and out. Very organized with events and other things that go on with kids. Halls are decorated with students art, pictures and recognitions. Thank you Mr.Villatoro, Mrs, Cortez, Mrs. Choudhury and Ms.Olmos. Mr. Stark and staff.Parent Review3mo ago - Haley T Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school only caters to the Hispanic/Latin origin. Other ethnic backgrounds are made to feel unwelcomed by staff, administrators, and even students. I’ve addressed my concerns of targeted discrimination and harassment but my concerns fall on deaf ears.Parent Review1y ago - Lee Elementary School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am writing to express my deep disappointment regarding how this school addresses the issues of bullying and student misconduct. My children have encountered instances of physical aggression, including being hit, pushed, and bullied. In a particularly distressing incident, one student compelled my daughter to pick up his spit with her bare hands, while another child issued a threat to her life. I have communicated these concerns to the school counselors; however, I have observed that no effective action has been taken to resolve these matters. The response I have received indicates that the school prioritizes support for programs catering to children with disabilities and behavioral challenges, yet this should not overlook the need for a safe and respectful environment for all students.Parent Review1y ago - Lively Elementary School
