Wedgewood Elementary School

There should be a zero rating. The Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Guillory should retire or be relived of her position. She growls at the kids like a Neanderthal. She calls the students names. When the students are physically hurt by other students, she tells them, "Stop being a tattle tale." The principal does nothing. She allows this behavior to continue. This is ridiculous!

I attended this school when i was in first grade up till fourth grade and all i can say was it was the worst years of my life. When i went to this school i constantly was in trouble with my parents for low grades. I was always unhappy and miserable as a student. Though the year before i was going to enter fifth grade I moved to Texas, and thats when i knew wedgewood is a bad school. My grades in 1 semester jumped from c's and d's to all A's. I am more academically AND athletically influenced. When i was in wedgewood i had 0 accomplishments but now i have quite a few: All a's 3 years running(5-7 grade) Presidential award(fifth grade) National Junior Honor Society(seventh grade- current) Science Olympiad competition(7th-current) Math counts winner practice chapter in houston(seventh) For eighth grade i had basketball MVP on school soccer team and schools top science TAKS scoring 2 tests running (practice) there are plenty of opportunity like TAME and Language leuges ETC and Science Olympiad for youngers which is a personal favor wedgewood just doesnt offer academic opportunity to their students. I recommend looking else where

The children have no social time. They are told to keep quiet during hall and lunch time. My son came home several times and had fallen or gotten hurt at school and they do not send a report or even acknowlage that the kids are hurt. The conduct sheet is a daily annoyance as they pick every tiny thing the child may or may not do during the day and send home a report about it. I have not had a great experience at this school yet.

I find this to be a great school, academic wise and parent involvement wise. The PTO was excellent last year but a lot of the parents have moved on now. I find that my son(a 4th grader) is more into school since he started attending Wedgewood 2 years ago. There is a lack of extracirricular activities though. Overall, I think the school is doing a good job with the kids... Extended day is also very helpful and affordable

This year at Wedgewood made me decide to move away from the area just so she won't have to sttend next year. Her teacher kept in contact with me about my daughter's situations via my daughter and occasional 'X's' on a conduct sheet. I have found in my daughter's years at Wedgewood that this is what a few of the teachers consider keeping the parents 'aware' of what's going on. They make the children carrier pigeons. Also, the pricipai leaves much to be desired.

Wedgewood Elementary offers students an education that demonstrates quality combined with care!The academic program addresses the needs of ALL the children. The teachers and staff take an active interest in assuring that every student meets his/her potential. The parents and the PTO program is excellent! My child is always excited about attending school. He comes home every day excited about sharing what he has learned not only in his regular classes but in his music, art, libray and physical education class. He enjoys working on the computers that are available at Wedgewood. Being a retired teacher myself, I rate Wedgewood far above the rest. The teachers, pricipal, staff and parents work together to insure that ever child at Wedgewood is special!

Wedgewood Elementary is a great school that promotes and encourges parent involvement with a strong PTO. In addition to the state curriculum, the school offers French and Music. However, other extracurricular activites are lacking being that the focus is on academics at this school. I teach exceptional students hear and have taught in three states. I have never seen teachers work as hard as they work at this school along side parents on a daily basis.
