Elias Herrera Middle

The teachers are sensitive and truly care. It helps that they are electronically connected to the parents. My child's teacher is not there for a paycheck. She gives us work for the next school level to challenge our child.

I’m really counting the days for my kid to finish the last year of elementary so my child can try another school and feel better of herself. I just hope her depression diminishes as soon as she gets out of Matias de llano and attends another school. I just hope no other school makes my child feel the way this school injured her in believing in herself and society

My daughter has been attending Kazen for the past two years. She was previously in a LISD school and a different UISD school. Since being at Kazen she has learned sooooo much at and I see the difference in her attitude. She is more confident, more social, and she comes home excited to share the new things she learned. I also have her in the after school daycare and she loves it. She actually gets upset when I pick her up early. If there is ever any issues at school her teacher will call me within a day or two to keep me in the loop. They are a bit strict with rules and attendance, but I guess they are just trying to instill responsibility and good work ethics at an early age. I don't know if she was just lucky enough to have gotten great first and second grade teachers, but I am extremely happy with the decision we made two years ago. I wouldn't want her attending any other school in Laredo after our wonderful experience at Kazen Elementary.

My son was at Trautmann from kindergarten to fifth grade, and it is a fabulous school. The teachers are caring, the parents are involved, and a sense of community is truly fostered by teachers, administration and staff. Having said that- the parking lot IS a zoo after school. It's the only time you hear people honk in Laredo!

Amazing school. Communication is amazing and and the school is very well organized. As a parent, you have all the information on hand. The teachers and staff are extremely hard working. Students get an above average education indeed.

I recently moved here for work and my daughter seems tel be getting bullied by students and her teacher. Not a very accepting school if you are from a different cultural background.

Based on my own personal opinion dealing with the staff at this school, there's no doubt that this school is an excellent institution where children learn and grow to their own academic potential.
