When the year first started I'd have given this school 1 star. I was looking at other schools and…read moreeven *seriously* considering homeschooling. I did not and still do not like the principal - she seems very plastic to me and usually sporting an expression like she has no idea what's going on but is doing a good job of faking it. The very first day when we were doing things "wrong" she in a very rude tone asked had we been at parent/teacher night before school started and we said no we were out of town. I didn't feel like there was a problem as I had spoken to my son's teacher before the first day. But what anyone neglected to mention was anything about procedures for dropping and picking children up so when the principal spoke to us using terms as if we had any idea what she was referring to it furthered my dislike of her. I have since learned this is her very first year not only at this school but as a principal period. That explained a lot. She's desperately trying to show off her capability but is going about it with too much effort so she looks scattered in anything she does. Parents are allowed to drop kid off in the morning after signing in at the office which includes them scanning your photo ID and being given a sticker with your ID and where you will be printed upon it. But parents are not even allowed into the building in the afternoon for pick up - not even the Pre K or kindergartners for supposed security reasons. Why it's different for the afternoon than morning is anyone's best guess. They are constantly begging for volunteers and cannot seem to figure out why they have so few when they have such a cold, unwelcoming, unfriendly policy for/with the parents. The very first week my 5 year old in his first year was given homework! This shock and astounded me in a very bad way. I even asked my father for confirmation and he agreed that when I was in school we didn't start getting homework until second grade. It's a very tedious "chore" to make a child that young sit and do a worksheet or two a night. I'm still not thrilled with it but there's not much I can do unless I do want to remove him from the public school system. I had problems with his teacher at first. My child had never been in any kind of school environment and I made this very well known to her. The 2nd or 3rd week of school she sent a note home 3 out of 5 days saying my child didn't do his work and would I talk to him about that! That upset me in about 18 different colours! What did she want *me* to do about a problem she was having with my child during *her* time with him. I was not going to punish him or curtail any activities because at age 5 he would have already dismissed anything said to him by her earlier in the day. A meeting was scheduled for myself, his teacher and the counselor. Then hurricane Ike hit! The school was closed for a week and two days. They opened a Wed almost 2 weeks before HISD did though the vast majority of teachers' and students' homes still had no power or water. I still find this lapse inexcusable! How could staff members properly prepare for a day with no water or power? How could parents properly prepare their children for school without power or water. Oh they said it was perfectly okay to not being the kids if there was no power or water on - it would just be excused absences. But now my child has 3 absences on his record that I do not think should be there at all! After the time off from the hurricane when he did get back to school my child suddenly got right into the swing of things and all the skills I'd told them he already possessed came shining through. A meeting was scheduled for me his teacher and the counselor only for a different reason this time. They asked was I okay having him go over to one of the First grade classes for reading and having him nominated for the gifted and talented program after the winter break was over? No I have no problem with that at all. I have since volunteered for the book fair {I got horribly sick too}. And have a much better relationship with his teacher and most of the staff. I am not sure if I will ever warm up to the principal ever.

Everyone is professional, respectful, and demonstrates strong ethics in a faith-based environment. I love that my son looks forward to coming to school every day and is excited to learn. The curriculum is well aligned for my son, who is currently in PreK4, and the weekly homework reassures me that he is learning consistently. I am extremely proud that my son enjoys school and that his faith continues to grow. He has taken more initiative in speaking up, leads our dinner prayers, and especially loves Chapel Day. The smaller classroom sizes make a meaningful difference, and ECS has truly been--and continues to be--a blessing for our family.

My daughter has been there since April of this year. The statements about Beth made in our her…read morereviews are absolutely true. I had to abruptly remove my daughter from the school on yesterday because she yelled at her saying "why are you standing there looking at me" when I was dropping her off. Prior to this while I was signing my daughter in she was rudely yelling for her teacher. I thought that was unnecessary at the time but brushed it off as she was not addressing me nor my child. Shortly after my daughter walks into the cafeteria and is standing there and that's when Beth begins to yell at a 5 year old child. I politely asked her if she was addressing my daughter and she said yes. And that She comes in here everyday and looks at me. I asked her to please not speak to her in that manner and that she was probably waiting for instructions. She then said she had been here long enough to know what to do. As far as I'm concerned a gentle reminder may have been warranted but to yell and scream at a small child is unacceptable on any level. My husband called the school later to speak with Beth and ended up speaking with her teacher who by the way was also yelled at but she took up for Beth saying my daughter should know what to do in the morning. I understand that young lady may need her check but to think it's ok for an adult to talk to a child like that made me feel she wasn't safe in her classroom either. My husband then eventually did speak to Beth and she showed no remorse or acknowledgment for her behavior and continued to blame my child for not knowing what to do. I was upset that I couldn't leave her there another day and removed her immediately. Please if you love your child DO NOT send them there!
