Villarreal Elementary School

SST does not hold students accountable for their actions. They have this thing that they suppose to live by called Narwhal MAGIC which stands for moral compass, accountability, generosity, innovation, citizenship. Well let me tell you the same students who steals was able to use a magic ticket to get a reward and go to the school dance all in the same week that he stole items from another classmate. This is not the first time the student took something that wasn’t his. He actually opened up my child belongings and took whatever he wanted. What kind of student characters are they building at this school? Do they really believe in MAGIC….You get rewards for being a thief. Puzzling. No disciplinary action from the school staff and that’s why it’s a secret. Hope everyone else children are safe.

Colby Glass Elementary is an incredible school, and the reason we chose to buy our house in this area of San Antonio. We are a military family, recently moving to San Antonio over a year ago, which has resulted in my son having attended 3 different elementary schools. Colby Glass has been by far the best elementary school he has attended, even exceeding my high expectations. He has had guidance support as a new student, is being taught at an advanced level for his age, and has thrived socially by attending all of the wonderful events the school has organized. Choosing to settle down in this school district has been the greatest blessing, for both my son at Glass and my daughter at Pat Neff (special shout out to the Neff MS Band, which has nurtured my daughter into being a brilliant trumpet player). If given a choice between any schools in area, I would choose Glass every time. Also, they are almost finished with the construction of a new gymnasium, which will only add to brilliance of this school!

Spare yourself and go to another elementary school. Cynthia had us going back and forth for 2 weeks. We would bring once thing in to register a pre k student and then she would mention another. Then another. Then another. Instead of telling us all once. Zero consideration for working parents and the time they need to take all the documents to the school. Different requirements for Pre K that she says are online but you really need to look for cause they aren’t the ones posted at all. Nowhere online does it say that if you live in someone else’s residence, you need to bring that person in as well. So Cynthia also likes to make up her own rules or tell people everything is online when it actually isn’t but she won’t tell you all you need upfront either. Will not give you all the information up front and 2 weeks later will just say “sorry! Can’t go back in time! That’s life! There are rules!” Yes there are! Like not disclosing child information to other people but the parents but I was just helping the parent of this child register and she gave me and took all confidential information without ever asking who I was. There are better schools that will take care of you and care for your kids and time more. Go with those instead.
