Astatula Elementary School

My daughter LOVES going to school everyday. However, the ELC program needs a better director and support staff. They leave so much to be desired! They are glorified babysitters, that's it. If you are not Spanish, you are dirt to them and they take it out on your kids!!!

I used to be a student at astatula back in 2005 and all the teachers I met understood me and my classmates. They would help us one on one before and after school. Even though I only went to k-3 before I moved, I met almost every teacher there. The P.E. teacher was the best so far. I really like how they understand the parents unlike here in the H-E-B school district here in Texas .

We love AES! We drive over 15 miles one way for the kids to go to school here. The majority of the teachers are GREAT! My only concern with the school has been safety of the children when visitors come on campus. I know there are laws that have to followed, but I just don't like that anyone can come on campus, but with that said there are just not enough good things to say about this school, from the big play production at the end of the year to PTO functions, this school really does try hard to make elementary education a memorable experience. Teachers, TA's, volunteers, office staff, and all other staff are approachable and polite. Ms. Kay. and Mrs. Cutter made our year last year. The entire 5th grade team is awesome.

We love AES! Mrs. Cockcroft, Mr. Campbell and all the teachers are great. Our favorite teachers are Mrs. Gaetz, Mrs. Sears, Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. Symonds, Mrs. Walter, Mrs. Roupas, Mrs. Ferguson, Mr. & Mrs. Burris, Mrs. Kilmer, Mrs. Reid, Mrs. Salamon, Mrs. Mauldin and Coach Boyd. This school enriches the lives of children and teaches them to be a caring and constructive contributor to the community they live in. My children have learned the true meaning of success at AES and that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. I am so grateful to everyone involved at AES!

My grandson who is in kindergarten attends AES and I am very fortunate to have the pleasure of being able to volunteer in both Dr. Balls and Mrs. Gaetz class rooms. They both are wonderful, caring, devoted teachers. I have nothing but admiration for them both with all that they do. My hats off to them both!!!

My daughter Makenna is in Mrs.Vossbregs kindergarden class and she loves her dearly! She is absolutely the best teacher I have ever met! She puts so much dedication into her students! Thank You so much!!
