Back Elementary has been a disappointing experience in many ways. The atmosphere is far from welcoming, primarily due to the principal's questionable leadership style. Rather than fostering a supportive environment for both students and staff, the principal often resorts to bullying tactics. This cr
Posted by a community member on 5/28/2025If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience working under the leadership of Ms. Lee at Back Elementary was deeply disappointing and disheartening. The environment was marked by poor communication, public unprofessionalism, and questionable decision-making that directly affected both staff mor
Posted by a teacher on 5/20/2025I can tell the teachers and office staff love working at this school!!! They greet every child in the morning and know everyone’s name. Their excitement is contagious for the students! My child tested in the high percentiles and was a grade level ahead by mid year. Teachers really work hard to keep

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe started this school with high hopes from some positive reviews. But our experience has not been the same. When we have had questions, our teacher answers them and is attentive. However, when I have inquired answers from principal or counselors, my concerns are dismissed and not acknowledged. Emails go unanswered. There is a very disruptive child in my daughters class. The librarian cancels library 3-4 times so that class does not get to go to library because of this child's behavior. They have a few teachers on staff that are working towards degrees but have not finished their bachelors yet which I think should not be allowed. In my opinion, there is a lack of leadership on this campus and GISD should be behooved to shake up this campus a bit. But they will not. So avoid due to administration and lack of leadership at the top.Parent Review1y ago - Northlake Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love our neighborhood school! The teachers truly care about the students. Our principal, Mr. Shirley, is very active and involved with the students and has made school so fun for my kids. We love the robotics club and that there are options for our kids to be involved.Parent Review3y ago - Katherine Stephens Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWatching my child grow and thrive at Harmony Science Academy- Garland has been such a rewarding experience. From the very beginning, the teachers and staff created a warm, supportive environment where my child felt safe, welcomed, and excited to learn. One of the highlights has been how the school nurtures curiosity—whether it’s through creative writing, interactive science lessons, or encouraging reading at every level.I’ve noticed real growth not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. My child has become more confident, expressive, and eager to explore new ideas. The positive communication between teachers and families has also made us feel truly involved in the learning journey. Overall, it’s been a wonderful foundation that’s helped shape a strong love of learning in our child.Parent Review7mo ago - Pecan Creek Day School
