Lloyd & Dolly Bentsen Elementary School

Awesome and dedicated Teachers. Love our little school

Sam Houston is an amazing campus! This school always goes above and beyond for their students, Staff and anything they do. I would 100% recommend this school to anyone. This school has a very welcoming ambience.

The community in this school is very awesome, there's a lot of parent involvement.

They have good teachers, they are patient with the students. They decorate the school very beautifully on holidays. They have good PE coaches and the principal is very kind and a good person.

I've had a handful of issues in the the years my child has been attending. I've seen my child's learning process digress as this school has continued to place my child with children that need more specialized attention. I diligently drive to assist my child in advanced ideas and methods during the summers and after school only to have my child placed in a low expection class. My child is not challenged to grow and advance learning skills and now has a " I don't have to do more because it is not expected of me in my class" view. I am not okay with this minimal goal setting and this school needs to do more to encourage just the opposite mentality in these children. I've been told by a teacher that they won't push them to read so they enjoy reading more. Goal setting IS pushing them to read. Give them a higher goal and at least give them the opportunity to meet a higher challenge. The expectation from the higher level classes vs the lower level classes is extreme. The Starr test wouldn't be as stressful if some of these children were taught with a bit more confidence in their ability to comprehend. "Things are difficult if WE make them difficult" is what I have always told my child. Every child that is capable of being challenged at a higher level SHOULD be challenged. This school is creating a pool of children that will have to work that much harder in high school and college to catch up to the median. Unless this is this district's median. Needless to say we will be disenrolling; my child is worth more than this.

Incredible school and staff. Focused on teaching the child as a whole and not just test scores.

Mi familia y yo tuvimos una increíble experiencia con ésta escuela y el equipo de trabajo. Los maestros y directores son excelentes. Muy amables y profesionales. Las maestras fueron dulces con mis ninos y la educación fue de primera. La escuela es muy limpia, organizada, tiene una gran biblioteca con actividades para aumentar la lectura, gran salón de actividades y cafetería. Hacen muchas actividades para reconocer el esfuerzo de los estudiantes y valoran a los padres. Tratan a todos por igual sin importar el país de origen…nosotros somos de Puerto Rico y realmente fue bonito ser parte de la escuela. Recomendada al 100%.
