I was paying for Catholic school. they said my daughter was failing and kids were verbally abusive. We moved into Arnold's area. Within 2 weeks my daughter was able to score a 92 on TAKS reading thanks to her teacher's dedication and free after school tutoring. She then got an 80 in Math where she was totally lost at privates school. Due to some moves, we have also been exposed to charter, public and other privcate schools. We have found Arnold to be a positive environment for our daughter and she has benefitted from their structure. I just wish there was more extracurricular activities.
This school is our home campus in the SAISD district. We have had the worst experiences at this school. They may be a decent school for the average student but we found them to be extremly intolerent of any consession that needed to be made when it came to our child who is academically on track but requires additional services. Our child has attended this school on two occassions and both were a nightmare. Our child has never had the issues we have experienced at this school. They foster bullying among their students and tolerate it. We felt the enviroment was toxic and unwelcoming. Test results mean nothing if we are turning out children with no compassion or empathy.
I have two children attending, my son is in the 2nd grade, and my daughter is in the 5th grade, and I am very pleased with the structure, and the time they take with the children, every staff member seems to know all the children, and for me that is very important it lets me know that they are not just a number for them. Teachers have done a great job challenging my children to reach there potential. I would highly recommend this school that is moving into this district.
Compared to other schools in this district, Arnold is one of the best. My daughter's teachers have been caring and competent. I was disappointed that no art program is offered. I also find the homework monotonous and of little benefit.
