    My nieces attend Couch Elementary. I love the Leadership. Mrs. Hill is outstanding and has a true…read morepassion for students. My 5th grade niece has been enrolled since she first started school and has always excelled. My nieces lost their mom and 1 year old brother in the North Texas storm. This has been a major life change for the girls. The principal Mrs. Hill and my niece teachers showed up to the homegoing service to express their condolences. The school had been a huge support. The girls live with my husband and I in McKinney. Garland ISD transportation has made arrangements to pick up and drop off girls to our Mckinney home until the end of the school year to assist in some sort of normalcy. The transportation guy was a retired Pastor and loved the girls and they loved him as well. Hill also gifted my husband and I with books to help with grieving and raising. One of the books is called 5 love languages of Kids. I'm blown away by the support and love. We are so grateful.

They were open-minded to get to know their students. Soon after my 5-year-old daughter was the only one in her class who knew how to read. So I registered my 5-year-old son here this year and so far it's been a disaster. Because he has speech delay and ADHD and therefore, he's behind in development compared to other kids of the same age. However, his academic test score in Pre-K was high enough that he was not qualified for special-ed. I understand that a slow kid can be too much for a regular school, mainstream teacher who has 9 other kids in the classroom to handle but she didn't need to be totally cruel and hateful. There's constructive critique and advice with compassion that in the best interest of all 3 parties, she would recommend my child to be in a special-ed classroom setting like I, as a general dentist would recommend a child patient with severe dental anxiety to see a pediatrist. But here was an adult's (a teacher's, nevertheless) pure bashing a 5-year-old child non-stop for 30 minutes straight to his parents on the first parent-teacher conference meeting after she had already demanded him to be transferred out of her class without a heads up to us as parents. She went on and on about petty things like he (accidentally) spilled his cereal to him not understanding "scoot over." I'd be embarrassed doing so about any child because it speaks volume about my character rather than the kid's. She confidently and loudly stated: "He is not able to learn." Tell that to a kid's parents! That could break anyone's heart and induce endless fear and worry about their child's future. Good thing is that my son's neurologist ,who's Rx'ing ADHD medicine for him had already told me: "You can't diagnose a kid being intellectual disable or not until the age of 8 at the earliest." All and all, the school is not bad but this teacher's abundance of hatred and anger in her heart has diminished some positive aspects about this school. I was very sad to see this kind of character in a school teacher. I hope to see more kindness and patience from the special-ed teachers or I'll transfer my son to a private school albeit it's a long commute and it will deprive him from growing up in real life environment with kids of different social and financial backgrounds.

It was when I got home I noticed her left eye was extremely swollen and red. I thought it was pink eye so I sent a message to the school that night which no one responded or called me. I wanted to let everyone know so that others may not get infected. My husband called the next morning to inform them since no one reached out from the school. I took my child to the doctor on 06/20/2023 to get checked out and the doctor confirm that it may not be pink eye but to keep watch; her eye was very swollen and it looked like she may have gotten hit in the face. My husband then spoke with someone again at the school to look at the cameras and that we can have access to the cameras and that someone would call me. No one ever call me so I physically had to go to the school and re-explain wheat happened to the front desk which she said she saw the message but failed to reply. So you all allow sick kids to come to school??? I spoke with someone sitting at the front desk and we went back to the classroom to speak with Miari and she then said well 2 kids in the classroom had pink eye!! I was not aware and nor was the school director! This is an extreme violation of OSHA so I immediately removed my child from the school due to the lack of care and communication. The teachers don't even have access to Kids Reports, which sucks! At Primrose, which we are going back to now, allow open communication between the parents and teachers. I literally have to call the school and ask every day to send pictures of my child to ensure she is ok. Primrose always keeps me updated and send loving messages about my baby girl and ensures that she is loved and being treated well. I would not recommend this school for the academics or structure but they are the cheapest I've seen and that probably why they have so many downfalls bc its a "cheap" school. I'm worried everyday about my child even eating. They are so short staffed they weren't even able to feed my baby solids bc they were "too busy". No parent wants to come and pick their child up from school and hear things like. she was fussing all day or she didn't sleep, better yet does she throw up all the time??? Invest in your employee' s knowledge and communication styles. I will never come back nor recommended this school to anyone. I had no choice but to report this school to OSHA since no communication went out about children being contagious. They don't even wear masks or uniforms to shield any allergens her from the children that maybe carried from outside at this school. 4 weeks wasted. Please go to Primrose.
