Dunbar Primary School

Negative number and way below standards big time

All staff in the special education department are very rude & were not very welcoming to substitute teachers. Now i understand why they say no subs ever come out there. The staff were rough with the kids. You all have lost help. Im never coming back to this school. - Emily Smith

Day two only at this school, and this just keeps getting worse. We were called into the school TWICE today, and now my boys can't even ride the bus home. Someone from the school also bangs on our door everyday with uniforms (we do indeed have a doorbell)--even though I told her we would buy our own already (and actually HAVE). I am feeling very invaded and stressed out right now, and I don't know what to do about any of it. As I said this is only day two, but if what my husband and I have already experienced is any indication, this is one school parents should avoid.

Having raised 6 of my older children in other states with mixed results in the various school systems, my wife and I approached the entry of our youngest daughter Into Kindergarten at Trout Primary with a great deal of trepidation, as we were relatively new to Texas. We were especially concerned because our daughter is autistic. We were pleasantly surprised when we met the new principal. She was friendly, engaged and very supportive. In meeting our daughter's teacher, we were further impressed and relieved. It's now a year later and our daughter has experienced a great year at Trout Primary. Now we are even more impressed. We have met and gotten to know many of the staff and teachers. We have found them to be friendly, supportive and very professional. Best of all, our daughter has been accepted by her peers and has progressed tremendously in her learning and skills. We can't say enough good things about this school and it's staff, especially her teacher, Ms. Miller. Our daughter is now looking forward to the beginning of the new school year, having graduated to first grade.We don't know how Trout Primary was before, but we do know that under the leadership of Principle Henderson, it is a terrific learning environment. We would recommend this school to anyone that is fortunate enough to live in this district.

My son has attended St. Patrick Catholic School since PreK-3, and is now entering into 2nd grade. We absolutely love this school. Their truly is a sense of family here, and my child is loved and nurtured. We love the daily Religion classes, and the well-structured routine. The faculty at this school will pray for your family when needed. This is a super special place!
