Its an OK school. Theres like 2 months left in the school year and my son hasnt been on a single field trip, up until now that they announced an up coming field trip. Will probably be the only one, seeing that schools out next month or so. His teacher in particular spends most the time doing activities im assuming because its a lot easier than actually teaching something, & bc of his very young age she probably thinks “who would know the difference lets just blame their age for not knowing anything thats actually relevant”. Aside from educational matters, theyre constantly sending emails for you to donate stuff and for you to buy this & that for the class. What happened to the teachers funds to spend for their class? I dont understand. AISD would never do that before i made the decision of moving out to kyle specifically for this school. But now i regret it.. when schools out, they make a big deal out of you being there by 3:10/3:15 to get your child, disregarding the fact that the car line wraps around 10 blocks of the neighborhood and schools out at 2:50 or 2:55 . Last time i picked up my son at 3:17 and the rude lady that works at the front desk tells me “be here to pick up your child earlier maam” i looked at the time at 3:18 & told her “dont worry about it youll be fine. Your school closing hours say 3:30 anyways” if that’s incorrect take responsibility to change it. Stop begging parents to spend money on your class for you to do activities. use more time to actually teach instead of asking for snacks and irrelevant stuff. Also they dont take bullying into much thought. So if your child is prone to bullying and doesnt take teasing well, just know it wont be any better here but worse. Im disappointed that my son hasnt learned much of anything. Except learning what his favorite movies and games are for when he goes to the next grade. All because this school year he spent most his times in “free days” full of snacks and games and reaching for pijama day which he got when they would win games. Not even anything educational to treat it. This schools fun, but its also a joke. Cant wait til this school years over, need to get him out Asap before they waste more of his learning time on games.

Melody Crowther is one of the worst school staff I’ve ever met. Shocking she was hired for principal. This school has gone downhill ever since she stepped foot here. A lot of the teachers as well as the nurse seem like they are just here to receive a paycheck and have summers off. They lack intelligence and empathy. There are exceptions with every rule as there are some wonderful people but very few. Regret buying a home near so my child could attend this school. Hopefully Crowther and the other bad seeds are replaced soon so this school can get back on track.

Teachers are great and curriculum and activities seem solid. Some very nice families serve here from the neighborhood and everyone has been very courteous. My daughter has a great experience so far.
