Parsons Elementary School

Great school and staff! Love this school :)

This school is by fair the worst !! They are super unprofessional you aren't able to talk to the principal for anything. We have had some bullying situations happen and they never took it seriously!!!!! Something definitely needs to be gone on how they run there school n staff!!

Special Education teacher and Dyslexia teacher were phenomenal. Sad that the regular teachers are too prideful to go by your IEP plan and they go against the special Ed Teacher. There’s too much drama and the clicks are ridiculous between the teachers. They are more focused on drama and it’s leaving our children behind. Just because they have been teaching for a long time does not mean they are good teachers. We will not be returning. Mrs. Watson & Mrs Bocko were terrific.

I was a student here for 11 years. Most of my life (I'm now 20). I was bullied by virtually my entire grade and teachers and despite letting admin know, nothing was done. When my parents alerted the school of an event that occured at home relating to expirences at school, they were told I (13 year-old) was lying. I will try to focus on the "important" things in this review. This school prides itself on academics, yet is years behind public School. I had straight A's my entire life, when I moved to public school in 9th grade my grades dropped to loses and even a couple f's. I also did not learn much about how a Christian should live, as I was being taught how to be kind from the least kind people I knew at the time. Also, neat little sidebar, we got taught how to deny climate change in 7th grade and why scientists are after Christianity. Regardless of your personal beliefs, I don't think kids should be taught apologetics when they are literally just starting puberty. Also, your kid will not learn great social skills. I have an extremely hard time communicating with other adults. I think that is in large part due to the fact I did not have to make new friends from first grade onwards because I already knew everyone in my grade. You may be reading this thinking "well I wouldn't WANT my kid to communicate with non-believers" but I even have a hard time socializing with other Christians. Think of it like how in extremely remote places the people there often have a specific dialect that is virtually unintelligible from anyone outside the community. In my experience southcrest creates a very similar affect. If I had to pick one thing from the school that I think is proficient, I would say they're reading and writing program is pretty good. Other than that I have no kind words for this school.

First off The one and only elementary teacher for our Grandson is awesome. The school it self, the ADMINISTRATION, THE PRINCIPAL, THE NURSE, ARE HORRIBLE. They say they can accommodate, they say they watch over the kids, they say they protect the kids but apparently it's not their protocol to call the parents when the child gets hurt, falls off the playground equipment, or comes home with a bruise on his back. Then when you talk with the SA principal she tells me it's my fault for not taking him to the hospital when I pick him up at 330. Knowing he got hurt at like 945 am.Again not their protocol to call the parents, those were HER words to me. Yet when the main office tells my wife it is, and that they will call us back to let us know, NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. We didn't even get an apology for what had happen to our grandson. If we did and the SA principal was gone we would possibly leave our grandson at this school because he really likes all his new friends.

The school purports to teach students an academically rigorous course of study in a Catholic Christian environment. In truth, however, the curriculum is very thin (despite claims to the contrary). Much of each year's instruction time in science is spent on low-yield work on science fair projects. The books covered in class in English are often below-level. AP courses are not offered. "Advanced" classes tend to be permitting students to pay tuition to the school and self-teach online dual-credit classes through South Plains College. Enrollment is generally decreasing each year as families, even families of faculty, learn more and leave. Asking questions or raising concerns with the school is generally a waste of time. There is no school board and no public meeting schedule to explain or defend curriculum or disciplinary policy. Administrators' children seem to have a different standard for discipline than do other families. Pray for them, but don't let them have your money or your children.
