Collins Garden Elementary School

This school is very concerning for me and I feel it needs to be investigated kids are not learning here and it's concerning to have a school open and children aren't successful out this school 2 of my 3 kids hated briscoe and couldn't wait to leave the school the teachers are mean and rude they speak to the kids ugly and scream at the younger prek and kinder kids the principle never gets back to parents when they have concerns she seems like she doesn't want to deal with it and believes her staff more then the parents of the children they get mad if you hang around and use the playground the female gym coach is very rude and disrespectful there's alot of concerns and this school should be closed because kids are not successful here it's sad how nothing gets done and alot of parents don't say anything wish more people spoke up this elementary needs to be closed or fire everyone and get all new employees or send them back for them to be retrained cause these staff and principle is a sad representation for SAISD

Both stepdaughters have attended and one is currently attending this school. Teachers are ineffective when attempting to control their classrooms. Bullying is just a norm. Students are quickly given a learning disability as an explanation for poor progress.

Kelly is an Exemplary School. There are quality teachers and caring staff. The school is very clean. We are proud of our neighborhood school.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Sarah King Elementary. The level of professionalism from the administration and some staff members has been very concerning. One of the biggest issues I have experienced involves my son’s therapy services. My son has a family service therapist who has proper authorization to go to the school and provide therapy to him. Despite this authorization, the school has repeatedly refused to allow the therapist access to see my son on campus. This has interfered with services that are important for his well-being and development.When trying to address concerns with the principal, the conversations often feel dismissive and unproductive. Instead of listening and working toward solutions, the tone of the discussions can come across as talking down to parents and making them feel as if their concerns are not valid or understood. Parents should feel respected when advocating for their children, but that has not been my experience. Schools should be working with families and professionals to support students, not creating barriers for children who need services. I hope the administration begins to take parents’ concerns seriously and improves the way they communicate and work with families.Overall, the school needs leadership and staff who truly care about the students and their well-being and who are willing to work with families. Parents should not feel like they are being talked down to or treated as if their concerns do not matter.I sincerely hope changes are made so that students and families receive the support, respect, and professionalism they deserve.

The teacher to student ratio is 6:1. The academic education provided is excellent and a faith based curriculum. Highly recommend this school! One-on-one education, great Christian values taught, & wonderful staff
