I am writing this review to encourage parents to carefully consider their options and make an…read moreinformed decision when choosing this school. I can only speak to my personal experience. I moved to Texas in February and enrolled my daughter in this public school after missing the private school enrollment deadline. We previously lived in Florida, and I believed that attending this school for one year would be manageable. Unfortunately, the experience has been extremely disappointing from the beginning. The enrollment process was disorganized and redundant. Although all documentation was submitted online, I was still required to bring physical copies. Communication was lacking, as there were no clear instructions regarding where to go upon arrival. We had to walk around the campus trying to locate the enrollment office. "Meet the Teacher" day was equally chaotic. There was no clear communication, and the event itself was poorly organized. When we finally located my daughter's classroom, I learned that the teacher had 29 students and no teacher's aide. As a former kindergarten teacher, I know this class size is not appropriate. Approximately two months later, I received a letter from the state indicating that Texas requires a 22:1 student-to-teacher ratio and that the school was out of compliance and requesting an extension. The first day of school was alarming. There were very few staff members present and no clear directions for where children were supposed to go. At dismissal, my husband arrived to pick up our daughter, and the school was unable to locate her for nearly 30 minutes. Staff had no idea where she was. I was at work and ultimately used an AirTag in her backpack to confirm she was still inside the school. She was eventually found hysterical, as there was no staff directing kindergarten students during dismissal. On her very first day, children were simply expected to know where to go. Dismissal procedures continue to be a major safety concern. Children are allowed to walk out unsupervised. This creates a serious risk, as a child could easily be taken without notice. Students wear color-coded cards, but all parents receive the same white card, making it difficult to identify which grade level is being released. I have personally observed a teacher leave approximately ten kindergarten students unattended. I have also witnessed staff members who were not actively supervising students. In one instance, I watched a child get pushed off a 6-8 foot platform and lie on the ground for several minutes while the supervising adult remained on their phone and did not intervene. Additionally, backpacks are frequently left outside for days at a time without being secured. My daughter has also experienced bullying. She is mixed race (Irish and Indian) and has been subjected to verbal harassment, having her clothes written on, and physical aggression. I have raised these concerns multiple times with her teacher and emailed the principal, but no action has been taken. As a result, I have had to instruct my daughter to defend herself. Communication from the teacher has been consistently inadequate. Items are sent home without instructions, with the expectation that parents will simply know how to support the material. I am a highly involved parent and make every effort to reinforce learning at home, but without guidance this has been difficult. I emailed the teacher six times asking for clarification regarding a book sent home and received no response until the parent-teacher conference, where I brought the book with me. The teacher acknowledged seeing the emails and stated she sent the book "just in case" I wanted it, without providing any educational purpose or instructions. The curriculum itself is also weak and below what I would expect for a kindergarten program. The final issue involved speech services. My daughter previously received speech therapy at her former school, which I paid for out of pocket, as it was not part of an IEP. I submitted all relevant documentation four months ago and worked with the school to continue support. I later learned that the staff member handling the process went on leave without notifying us. During a scheduled meeting, there was confusion about whether it was virtual or in person. At the meeting, the principal asked how I knew my daughter needed speech therapy and had not reviewed the documentation I submitted until that moment. I explained my daughter's challenges with pronouns and sentence structure. Her teacher stated she had not noticed any issues. I expressed concern that with nearly 30 students, it would be difficult to identify these needs. Ultimately, I was told the school would not provide services. After waiting four months, this decision was communicated, wasting valuable time when I could have continued services privately. Despite my willingness to pay, I was told it was unnecessary, which I strongly disagreed with. Would not recommend
