My son is a PK graduate from Pillow Elementary School. He likes his teacher very much. He wanted to be 4 years old always so that he can stay back in PK class.
Our son is about to finish PK this may and he enjoys going to school, his teacher is excellent, she is caring and truly concern about their students development. I got to volunteer at the clasroom and is amazing to watch this kids grow every week , our preescholeer is member of the running club, they had several events thru the school year we"re parents got to participate and be part of a multicultural enviroment, you always watch kids smiling at school, from the custodians to the teachers to the cafeteria ladies to the principal everbody is pretty nice. The Principal really cares about the school. Looking forward to another school year at pillow.
I attended this school from k-5 grade and I really liked it; my teachers were awesome!! And really nice, they taught me really well, and luckily I got commended on all the TAKS tests from third grade to fifth grade.
We really miss you, Pillow!! Our child attended from 1st grade almost up to the end of 4th grade. We had to leave due to military relocation. Her new school doesn't EVEN compare. Thanks to you, she is more prepared than most of her classmates.
I hate this school because, when i went there i got sick so i went to the office crying in pain and they waited three hours to call my parents.They make you sit there and wait.I was crying in pain and they just watch you. This is the worst school in history.
TERRIBLE SCHOOL! Kids are made to eat breakfast in the hallway and without any trays. My child was repeatedly spit on, cussed at and harassed by the other children on his bus. The school LOST him 2 times where he had no idea where to go and I had no idea where to find him. The office never returned any phone calls! His safety was in jeopardy and after not receiving any help from the district, I finally had to withdraw him and move in order to get him to a different school. I tried to join the PTA and they denied me that right as well. I was greeted with dirty looks every morning, pushed by other children in the halls, and listened to them cuss at each other in the breakfast lines. My son became depressed and afraid to attend school due to the daily harassment.
I love Pillow Elementary because it has a good staff and faculty. Students are eagered to learn and motivated. Our parents are always willing to help and go out of their way to make sure their children are safe and being educated.
Teachers are, for the most part, incredibly involved with the children's learning. One for example, Mrs. Drozd, helped my daughter overcome her problems with math.
My daughter will be graduating out of Pillow this year and we are both starting to feel sad at the thought of leaving this wonderful school. Her acceptance by the Ann Richard's School is a direct reflection to the wonderful work that the teachers have done all these years, coupled by a well disciplined home environment. I am sure glad that I have Pillow on my side on this one!
The teachers are just so great and really care about the children they are teaching. I attended Lindale Elementary School in Lindale, Texas and they gave me a great elementary education.
