Serna Elementary School

Our child has a disability and or mental condition, the school principal (Mrs. Ramirez) should not be a principal due to lack and respect for children with disabilities, we had a horrible experience with our 2nd. Grade child. If you are a parent with a child with a condition, you would understand that some people are there only for a pay check and that some people just don’t give a dam about children with disabilities. This is so sad but true. Hope we find justice some day…

Teachers are bullies when brought to the attention of principal counselor vice principal it’s ignored. I would not recommend this school. If your child does something, you will hear from me within that same day, but if something is done to your child by staff, they will drag their feet on it. Take days even weeks for any kind of answers. Give them plenty of time to get their stories together against your child. There’s discrimination.

Started School here in 2014 thru pre-k to 2nd grade overall it was nice going to this school back then im currently in 10th grade and in another district East Central I.S.D.

My child thrives at St. Thomas More Catholic School. The community is close and supportive. I appreciate the small class sizes and the individualized attention each child receives.

We have had two kids at St. Pius for multiple years now. It's been a great experience for the kids and us. The children have been scoring above average on the NWEA tests and it appears they are on track to be successful in high school and beyond. One of our children has the opportunity for extra reading tutoring through St. Pius and the NEISD special needs org. The school has a counselor and resources for those who need it. The teachers are great and very caring to ensure the students are progressing and learning in a supportive environment. The teachers have reached out to us directly when appropriate. They also make themselves available through email, text, and in-person when needed. The kids are in a number of extracurricular activities including sports, elective classes (theater, art, mathletes, etc.), market day, volunteer opportunities, and participating in weekly masses (readings, altar serving, etc.). PTC is very active and has monthly spirit nights at local restaurants where families can gather and meet each other and it raises money for the school. The Gala is awesome and so is the Halloween carnival. Different classes get involved in different events around the campus to help support the school. CYO sports for elementary school is very popular and has grown tremendously the last few years. The church is very supportive of the school and is it's biggest mission. There are tons of opportunities for parent involvement at big events but also day-to-day helping around campus, Watch DOGS, etc. The school could use some upgrades in the classroom building but overall the campus is very nice and well maintained. I highly recommend.
