Viridian Elementary, Arlington | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I was initially completely stoked about sending my child to this school. Our area was rezoned and this was our assigned elementary school. My son attended Primrose during his Pre-K years and completely loved his school and enjoyed going daily. Since beginning kindergarten our mornings are filled with tears and its very frustrating. I mean after several months here he still doesn’t like it. They treat Kindergartner’s like little soldiers and all students are expected to fit into a “box”. They are more focused on testing and scores than anything else. I visited my son during lunch and his teacher spent the entire lunch screaming and telling kids to be quite. In addition to all this what ever happened to making learning enjoyable, being creative, creating an environment where children enjoy school. I find his teacher simply prints lots of worksheets and during a visit to his class the kids appear afraid to even flinch. Inconsistent communication from teacher, lack of activities (they didn’t even have a Christmas program), and an unhappy kindergartner are the reasons why my son will not be returning next year.

My son began attending Viridian in Kindergarten last year. We had an absolutely wonderful experience with the school, his teacher, Mrs. Howard, and the PTA. I am disappointed to see that others did not experience this same level of satisfaction, but I will say that being involved in my child’s education and volunteering with the PTA helped me feel connected and engaged with the teachers and other parents in our community. My kiddo comes home every day ready to tell us about something he has learned and a classmate he has gotten to know, and that is testament to the positive experiences he is having on an individual level. Viridian provides a consistent, positive environment where my child is encouraged to learn and think, and I could not be more pleased with the level of communication and care that we get from our school and staff.

Absolutely the worst experience. My grandchildren were rezoned as the previous writer wrote and it was a complete nightmare. Many families from my company are relocating to the HEB area and I now will never recommend this district! South Euless was an awesome experience but Viridian has ruined it forever. My 1st Grade Grandson has been traumatized and vilified! He’s a first Grader and A honor role student for crying out loud! Miserable fail Viridian and shame on you. I echo everything that Leah stated about the treatment of the children there! Maybe it’ll take more reviews to convince others of the ugly truths of this school. Disgusting just disgusting! I’m not the kind of parent that stands with my child just because either but even working with the school no one there in my opinion did their jobs effectively!
