I have a 5th grader at this school. I think the teachers do a good job, however I feel the school has in the past let go of a lot of experience and opted for new young teachers. I think that we have some of the most involved parents in the area and that plays a big part in how well the children do. I was very impressed with the writing skills they learned in the fourth grade. I think the children are safe and well disciplined.

My son has had mostly wonderful experiences at this school. The parents are very involved and the teachers care about the students. Discipline and learning are top priorities, and the 'Character Counts' program teaches what should have been reinforced in the school setting to begin with.

About the tests


In 2010-2011, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) was used to test students in reading in grades 3 through 9; in writing in grades 4 and 7; in English language arts in grades 10 and 11; in mathematics in grades 3 through 11; in science in grades 5, 8, 10 and 11; and in social studies in grades 8, 10 and 11. TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas. The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
