As a parent I am embarrassed when I read comments like the previous one. The matter. Of the fact is these people are a bad example and not speaking the truth. As I previously commented, the school has been a great place for my child. Now that the school year is over, we will greatly miss the school. By the way, my son is so well prepared that he was admitted to DISD magnet school for law at Town View.
My son has been at this school since PreK and next school year he will be going to the 7th grade and will not be returning. when he first started the school was good not great but good. in the last maybe 2 yrs this school has gone to the dogs! 1st off if your child has a doctors appt u may want to schedule it in the morning because going to get the from school early is a challange in itself. i went at 2:15 to get my child and had to sign a note that if i didnt bring an excuse the next day he would be marked absent even tho they dismiss at 3. After 3 absence they send you to court! 2ndly the teachers they have now hardly speak english for me to understand,they send notices out the day before if the kids are out of school,the programs are during working hours and you are notified the day before. This year was the worst. they nolonger give the kids fair tickets and make them come to school for half day on their fair day. the people in the office are horrible. no matter the weather the kids cannot wear shorts cant cary backpacks after they made me buy the school's backpack..this school is horrible only worry about the test and not about the child education all because they rank low!!
If you love your children and want them to be in a nurturing emotional and academic setting, please do not send them to GRCS. I was a teacher there and left as soon as I could. Here's the basic model of the school, as I saw it: GRCS hires teachers that are enrolled in Alternative Certification programs and have Probationary Teaching Certificates (most public or legit private schools will not hire these teachers). These teachers need a Principal's signature at the end of their probationary year in order to get their Standard Teaching Certificate. So during that year, teachers are reduced to puppets of the administration. Then once they get the signature, they leave for greener pastures and GRCS hires a new crop of inexperienced teachers that they can control for a year. The result is chaos with no administrative accountability. Check the stats for GRCS on the TEA website for teacher turnover and experience. Oh, on top of all that this is a nepotistic family business with administrators all being related.
These ratings, unfortunately, seem to be placed by the administration. This school needs a lot of work to be any place that I would take my child. There is no leadership, students have 3, 4, 5 different teachers a year. Students are very stressed out by all the changes,most of which are totally unneccessary. Good teachers seem to get run off by the people in charge. It's a mess.
I love this school!!! My daughter is going to this school since first grade and her teachers have all been wonderful.
Golden Rule is an AWESOME school! My son gets one on one learning!
Congrats! The school year is almost over!!! I would just like to say that the faculty and staff there at Golden Rule are just awesome. I am very satisfied having my nieces and nephew there. I've seen so much improvements in their reading and math skills. Ms. Hall is very caring, loving, strong, passionate, can be mean at times but hey! its part of the job. Thank you so much Dr. Delgado for your vision and Mr. Mills for your excellent work keeping this school in such an awesome way.
I am so happy with the way this school is running this year! I have no problem with my sons' teacher. My son cannot wait to go show his teacher how he finished his homework and I love that he comes home with something new that he learned at school that day! Thank you for improving every year and for listening to my concerns. (thier staff are very good at calling you back-yeah it may take a while sometimes...but its better than recieving no call at all!)
yes , this is the perfect school,I'm glad my boys are attending, because the teachers are very good and teach stuff that my boys didn.t know, every day they come up with something new.
I am so happy that my children are attended this school. They have the best teacher and support staff. I wish they can add grades 9th thru 12th for next school year. I think that I did the right thing when I change my children from public school to Golden Rule. They enjoy this school and like the safety environment they provide. Thank You to all the Golden Rule staff, specially to the teacher, Mr. Delgado and Mr. Mills
