I can not sing their praises enough!! My son is in the Special Education program and his abilities and skills have sky rocketed with their help. Ms. Baron is phenomenal. Her obvious and deep love for the children is readily seen. Mr. Evans (1st grade) has gone out of his way to tailor his teaching style to one that connects with my son perfectly. My son used to hate going to school because of his struggles, but now he can't wait to go. Ms. Duggar was kind and patient when I emailed the district for assistance in choosing a school for my son. She paid close attention to what I was telling her and explained what her school could offer; answering all of my questions without hesitation. We are moving and we are going to miss them and Harker Heights terribly. They have set the bar very high for future schools.
My son hs learned alot at this school and his teacher is wonderful! I can not speak about the rest of the faculty, but I can say that every time I go and come across a faculty member they are very polite and welcoming. I am a firm believer that as a parent it is our responsibilty to get ourselves involved in the school.
Referring to the last comment.....perhaps your opinion comes from your lack of education. I hope your child is learning some grammar and spelling there.
The staff is excelent and the interaciton between parents and teachers is great
I was very unhappy with my child's experience at this school. My experiences with the principal were very unprofessional. I did not feel like it was a parent friendly environment for me to discuss issues concerning my child.
I must say that I think this isnot a good school environment for children at all. My daughter attended this school for two years, and I am happy to say that none of my other three little ones will attend this school. The principle at this school is not professional at all. It's a bad learning environement to me, parents are not welcome to come and stop by at any time. Which makes it seem like something is going on in the school.
I attended this school what seems like ages ago. The quality of the faculty is uncomparable to any other. I can still go back and the teachers I had still remember me. They watched me grow up. My second grade teacher just retired last year and I sent her a retirement card. That's how special these teachers are here. They've touched my heart in a way I will never forget them.
