Ralph Parr Elementary School

Good school but lots of drugs, and a big division in wave and neighborhood, lots and lots of drugs

My child has both dyslexia and autism, and this school neglected her Educational needs and emotional support to the point that she suffered for three years and failed but they kept passing her without any help. The neglect happened directly in the classroom, the teacher told her and other students that they were not aloud to use the bathroom and the assistant principal failed to take any action this resulted in my child and other children to pee themselves in this classroom several times a week. The teachers also disipline your children and call you and tell you AFTER the fact. Things kept getting worse. I ultimately had to file a complaint with the education system outside the school, and I made the decision to withdraw both of my children from this school.

Great school so far my daughter loves it.

This educational institution showcases a regrettable display of racism. It is imperative for us to foster an environment that promotes cultural understanding and inclusivity, rather than perpetuating the harmful practice of segregating individuals based on their skin color. This has undoubtedly been an extremely distressing experience. The conduct of the principal towards me has been highly disappointing, lacking the qualities of a respectable individual. Furthermore, it is disheartening to witness the school's tolerance of bullying among students, fueled by discriminatory attitudes. The collaboration between the school and parents appears to be lacking, which has had a detrimental impact on the quality of education provided.

Wonderful Administrators who are passionate, hard working, motivated and kind. Recently got the Blue Ribbon award for Texas Schools. At this point it is a PK-3rd grade school. PK is only for those who qualify (income, military, homeless). The area nearby is growing rapidly so they took out fourth grade (put in 4/5th middle school, Lobit) but it wouldn’t surprise me if they put 4th back in soon after they finish Lago Mar elementary. The only thing to think about is how long you’ll be in the district and if you want your kids to go to the upper level schools- much lower ratings. Look at the school boundaries before buying a house nearby, you may not be zoned for where you think you will be. They have crazy boundaries in the school district to keep all schools title 1. That being said, Calder is an exceptional school and my kids have thrived there. They have a culture of excellence and warmth.
