Wilderness Oak Elementary School

Since enrolling my son at this campus from a private school his academic performance has significantly decreased which is no surprise seeing this schools widespread poor academic performance scores compared to other schools in the area. His teacher makes absolutely no effort to motivate or make lessons engaging to more gifted students, he also turns a blind eye to the pervasive bullying going on in his class. Also despite the new law House Bill 3 passed on September 2023 requiring Texas schools to have an armed security officer at every campus during the school day there is still NO full time officer on campus to ensure children's safety!!

Every teacher my children have had from pre-K up have been phenomenal. The communication at the school is absolutely top-notch. As a former teacher myself, I have never seen a school that does so much for both their students and their teachers. It is truly a fun and welcoming place for all. My oldest child moved mid year since we are an active duty, military family, and was welcomed so warmly.We adore the staff and teachers here.

We have been attending Canyon Ridge for the past 5 years. My daughter was identified as dyslexic in her second grade year. The school was fast to identify and put the measures needed to assist her in reaching her full potential. Her test scores improved as well as her confidence. From Admin to the Teachers to the staff, everyone strives to make Canyon Ridge the best school for learning and inclusion.

Our time at Buckner Fanning School at Mission Springs was deeply disappointing due to the school’s failure to uphold the Christian values it professes. Our child, born in mid-September, was initially allowed an early start. However, near the end of their time there, the administration claimed new adherence to strict school district guidelines, forcing our child to repeat a year. They insisted this policy was universal. Yet, on the first day of the new school year, we discovered younger students had advanced to the next grade, contradicting the school’s claims. This revealed selective enforcement and favoritism, showing decisions were driven by the administration’s interests rather than fairness. Feeling misled by a school that preaches God’s word but acts hypocritically, we urge families to seek a school with genuine integrity that equitably upholds its values.

My child was a student at this school last year. Had to withdraw him because of so much bulling. If student tells the teacher, the teacher actually tells the student to stop tattling and nothing is done about it. My child would cry because he didn’t want to go anymore.Administration was no help. They just looked the other way. Also feel that this school is very cliquish. Also there aren’t any extra curricular activities for the kids; unless they are in sports.Do NOT recommend this school.

We adore this school and are so thankful that our boys are there!
