Catherine Bell Elementary School

This school needs to be close down. The reviews are 100 true. This school has poor leadership and the teachers aren’t transparent at all. I asked for a parent teacher meeting and everybody was nonchalant about it. Mrs. Bates is never there or she ignores emails. This school is a mess. I’ll be Happy when we moved. We obviously moved here because it was a B-C school at the time and it dropped to a F in less than 3 years. This school is badddd!! I wouldn’t send an ant here to learn ! Nobody can tell me the 90% teachers aren’t here to wipe away their student loans !!!! I never know what’s going on with my child or learning. The teachers don’t care to talk to you because that’s the way Mrs. Bates has them feeling. She needs to be fired and there needs to be better leadership. Why is this school a F school when our Morgage prices don’t say F!?? Denton isd is trash as well. Move to prosper or Frisco if you can.

My first grade daughter was choked until she couldn’t breathe and the teacher observed it all. The school did nothing and the child continued to bully her at school and home and the principal did the bare minimum. Watch for the section 8 in this district, the school babies the poor and nobody else!

This is one of the worst elementary schools in the district. Teachers don't care and that's because students are unruly and very disrespectful. The former principal was fired and another struggling principal was moved here. On top of it, the school is closing. Now wonder why they moved her here. The district just seems to move problems around instead of fixing them.

Chavez Elementary Can Be A 4 To 5 Star School In This District

I’m very disappointed with our experience at this school. I was never informed of any behavior concerns while they were happening. Instead, issues were allowed to build up until they became “a big deal” that suddenly required paperwork and formal processes. Teachers from 1st grade and up have been cold and unwelcoming, making it difficult for my child to feel supported. The administration is extremely unhelpful, and getting any information or assistance feels like pulling teeth. Communication and compassion are severely lacking here, and it has left us feeling frustrated and unheard.

Great school good for kids , recommended , great curriculum
