Read what parents are saying about Block House Creek Elementary SchoolThis is my son’s second year at Blockhouse Elementary, he loves it and so do I. He never went to daycare or school before this so he was new to the whole dynamic of school. Both years in a row the staff and teachers have been nice and patient. It took my son a couple weeks or so both years to get in the groove of things. I honestly owe it to the teachers for being so patient and understanding that it may take some kids a little time to adapt. I am so proud to call Blockhouse Elementary our school! Our neighborhood has a great community of parents that keep in touch and keep each other in the loop. I feel like overall we scored when we moved in this neighborhood 4 years ago.
Posted by a parent on 1/19/2024Worst school ever. Very judgemental Of the parents and students. If you don’t fit into their cookie cutter parenting they will make your life a living hell.
Posted by a parent on 11/16/2020Old school neighborhood school where kids ride their bikes to school & parents visit at lunch. Not much diversity, but there is enough kids learn to work with others.
Posted by a parent on 5/31/2018I love Blockhouse Elementary School! They have the nicest and sweetest teachers and staff ever and our son is so happy there.
Posted by a student on 11/30/2016This school lost three of its best teachers last year and before that lost an awesome vice principal. Why? Dr. Cady. The good thing is that these teachers are happier where they are now. The bad thing is that there are few remaining stellar teachers and those are probably thinking of moving on. Much like a clique those parents who are in the "in crowd" at school have very little difficulty when they need something from the school but the rest...prepare for a battle. That is a pity because concerned parents should all be treated equally. Dr. Cady may be outside smiling every morning but THAT is not what makes a good administrator. There is a great deal more to it than smiling that you do not see. If your child is free spirited, doesn't fall into lock step easily or has some special need, this may not be the best choice of schools. If you are a parent who likes to know what's going on or disagrees with anyone, this is definitely not the best choice of schools.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLeander ISD is the worst - funny how they say they are a destination district. The district definitely changed after Troxell left, learning went from fun and educational to liberal lefist emotional indoctrination. No spelling is taught after 2nd grade, grades that were to start in 3rd grade went away, and the dress code is non-existent. What a horrible experience, our nation has doomed our next generation by plaguing this epidemic with no sytle of teaching the basics anymore.Parent Review8mo ago - C. C. Mason Elementary School (Col.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBoth our kids are attending CCMason for past 2 years. We were apprehensive of the school in the beginning given the ratings but our fears quickly vanished. The teachers are absolutely wonderful and genuinely care about the kids. Highly recommend this school for anyone looking for nourishing environment that fosters growth mindset.Parent Review2mo ago - Lois F Giddens Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI’ve been in more than a few schools, both as an instructor as well as a parent, and I can readily say I wish all the school leaders were like the director at CPM. She speaks with genuine fondness for the families that have been part of her school, is both warm as well as direct.Montessori Guides are trained to observe, observe, and then observe some more the school director is a skilled observer and then some, and expects the guides to be as well.The elementary guide at CPM is an attentive listener and actively observes all around her. She has a relaxed, calm way of being. She cares about the whole child in addition to the standard academics. Her room is ordered with appropriate periods of engaged chatter which I loved to see because if a school is too quiet, too ordered, too perfect I get worried. Likewise, if my child came every day but never had ANY stories of frustrating people or projects, it would indicate little growth was occurring.Simply stepping on campus makes it obvious that CPM is certified rather than simply using the name.(“Montessori” is not trademarked, and anyone can use the name whether they are trained and certified or not.) I saw students comfortable enough to roam the room and find materials, eagerly engage with other peers as well as adults as they practiced their grace and courtesy skills. Children are guided to be in charge of their own learning and allowed to make mistakes along the way. Parents are viewed as partners and are kept up to date with updates via an app. New students are also automatically enrolled in more frequent meetings during the initial transition, something I think that conveys that the school values parental participation rather than shies away from it.Parent Review2mo ago - Sapientia Montessori School
