im not really happy with this school at all my son is in the 1st grade and is getting bullied and the staff at the school mr.mooney said that my son does not know right from wrong and so we went to talk to the administration office to find out what can be done about it and the dr said that my son needs to go and see a psychiatrist why would someone say that to a parent at all there is better ways of saying things how would they feel if it was their child getting bullied almost every day something really needs to be done with it casue its not fair for any child to get bullied and it seems like the school dont want to hear about any of it going on at all they tell my son to come to the office and talk to mr.mooney about it but when he goes there he is told to go back to class and then they tell him in the same breath that he is not to just come to the office he is to tell his teacher if this countines my son will no longer be going to dan flood we are getting tired of going and calling the school and bringing it to thier attention and my son is getting sick of it to

Just hate the situation in the morning with the children getting out of the cars. Cars are always stopping, dropping kids off on the wrong side of the road, in the middle of the road etc. Can't believe no child has been hurt or worse. Wish they would make this a one way street for one hour in the morning. Thanks for letting me vent.......

I am very dissatisfied with this school. My son is in 1st grade. The bus ride home has been nothing but problems. Students 'flipping' off cars, so he has told me and fights. I called the school five days ago, and still awaiting a return phone call. Go figure. Needless to say, my son is on a wait list for bear creek, and hopefully soon enough he will be out of Flood!

I am a parent of three children that attended this school. there are some teachers that do 'care' for the child and then there are some that just 'pass' them by. I have had a great experience with the Learning Support program at this school. The teachers genuinely do care for their students.

The results for reading, writing, science and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles.
