Kelly Lane Middle School

Unfortunately, this school and district are not Safe for students. My child was bullied by a student, and physically assaulted on multiple occasions. The student prevented the class from learning and many other were assaulted and bullied. The students and teachers needed help and the school and district did nothing. Your child will not be safe at this school.

My son attended kindergarten through fifth grade at Brookhollow. I had initially hesitated to put him in public school because he was identified as both gifted and special needs. We came to Brookhollow after a couple of failed attempts with small private schools that advertised themselves as supporting kids with ADHD and other learning differences. Unfortunately, we quickly learned that despite their marketing, small private schools don’t usually have staff who are properly trained with those conditions. Brookhollow was a godsend. The teachers were loving and attentive, and though the school struggled with being underresourced by the state, the administrators consistently were able to do a lot with a little. My son thrived at Brookhollow, which has a wonderful, cozy neighborhood culture. All the teachers seemed to know his name, and we were always dealt with warmly and supportively by all staff we engaged with. I would note that Brookhollow struggles with communicating promptly and consistently, although there are several different newsletters; the events that apply only to a single grade or class can easily get lost in the busyness, especially when the overstretched teachers are the ones responsible for communicating about them. I thought this was a small price to pay for access to such dedicated and experienced staff, though. My family feels extremely lucky to have experienced Brookhollow under Ms. Harris, the current principal. What a gift!

When I bought my house here, RL Elementary's rating was 9. In the early of 2025 it became 6! Why?? The headmaster sounds nice but not helpful. The teacher we had looks nice but kid doesn't feel love. The third day of K, when I pick up my kid, he came out stamping on his feet. I asked why, turned out he didn't get his turn to pee before going out to the playground. And at the playground, he asked to pee, the teacher said something like: "u had ur chance"... Anyway, I still hope RL Elementary could be better, the headmaster has to make big changes.

This school is focused 50% on Spanish emersion, they do not have funding because the majority of District being tier 1, the principal plays fair with the district and does not advocate for more funding and wants to play fair with the district. If your child has disabilities and needs SPED or a 504 support this is not the school for your child. I have been dealing with this for years.

I enrolled my two children in PfISD when my family and I moved to Pflugerville, and we’ve had a great experience. The staff has been supportive and welcoming. The Pegasus program for my three-year-old has been absolutely amazing as well. I can’t say enough great things about PfISD.

I've had one child start in the 4th grade as a transfer from another state with their younger sibling joining 1st. My oldest has moved onto middle school and my youngest is now in 4th grade. In the time that we've had our children there, we have had positive experiences. Of course, there was an adjustment period since we were from out of state, but our kids became more confident and the staff we interact with are kind and caring. The teachers have always communicated without hesitation if there were any concerns before anything could ever escalate. The nurse's office calls immediately if a child gets hurt. Dearing has plenty of activities and events to involve families and its just been a pleasure. I think they could probably use some support for children who need extra attention in the behavior department, but overall the experience has been good.
