Bammel Elementary School

Bammel can be the BEST!!!! However, this school needs better administration. The teachers have very little support in the classroom as far as discipline issues are concerned, which hinders instruction tremendously. This year was a struggle 2010 - 2011. The teachers are overwhelmed and need union support on campus. There will most likely be another high teacher turnover this year as well. The tattling, backstabbing, and gossiping also needs to end between teachers it does not help the situation, but unfortunately it will not solve the problems at Bammel. And until the teacher demographic matches the student demographic there will be issues as well.

I have so had it with this school, not only have my children been assaulted by the students, know they are being assaulted and degraded by the teachers, what is wrong with Texas in general. They have so many issues with their schools. And the sad part is there is not much you can do except pull your kids from school, but who pays the price, only the kids. When will the laws start protecting our children, and handle things correctly! No tolerance is a joke, out here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This school has almost 900 students....the future of the kids in that school depend on the principal communicating better with all her teachers, PTO, and staff....and making sure all the kids are safe....the teachers need to be able to teach and the discipline issues start at home. Good kids are being punished for the ones who don't make good choices. I am so sad by this school. The teachers are wonderful they just have NO room to breathe. But, communication between teachers and parents is lacking as well...I have sent letters in and rarely get reply's....but the teachers are so distracted with the loud, disrespectful and bullying children. The staff needs are warm loving principal as well as the kids need one. As a parent she is cold and hard to approach. From speaking with teachers it is the same for them...they have no communication but are told what they are to do and that is that. I hate to have to take my kids out. I have 2 one in 3rd grade one in 2nd...and the higher up in grades the worse it gets it seems....but violence is present in the 2nd grade right now and discipline is a major problem. Sorry folks right now this school is awful...used to be awesome! :(

This school is depressing I have two students in this school, that I will be withdrawing them as soon as I move in the next couple of weeks! Some of the teachers do seem to care, but as a whole the school and its students are horrible. I grew up in this area and am sad to see how much the district as a whole has gone way down hill! Both of my kids complain on a daily basis that the kids in their classes are always acting bad, and beacuse of that my kids can't do their work and suffer from it! I hope this school can turn around, I know some of the admin. staff has changed maybe that will help, BUT I wont let my kids suffer while the schools staff figures out a way to improve it!
