Jack & Sharon Rhoads Elementary School

This is an awsome school. The teachers and staff are wonderful(one of my fav is Mrs. Chapman). The school is also very clean inside and out. My child is in kindergarten and is learning so much!

My son has been attending RES for three years now and I have found that the administrative staff are excellent! I just love Mrs. Chattmon:), Howevere, this year has been quite difficult for my son since we are preparing for the TAKS in few days. I feel that they have not taken the necessary measures to insure that my child does his absolute best. It is clear to me that he is not a priority student to those teachers.

I am raising 3 great nieces and 1 great nephew and this is our 3rd year to be involved with Rhoads. We have had tremendous support from the teachers and the administration. They are very quick to address any concerns we may have and they have a great teaching staff and support staff. Ms. Shulke is absolutely wonderful and you have to just love Ms. Chapman. We have been very pleased.

Although other reviewers have praised this school, I unfortunately have to disagree. The Admistration and office staff are a bit prickly, and the teacher I have experienced with my child is very sweet to my daughter, but not the best at communicating how she is doing in class. We are new to the area and it has been very difficult to become a part of the Rhodes community. I woudn't recommend this school.

RES has one of the hardest working staff around. They are awesome!

I couldn't say enough about how excellent the staff and faculty at this school. There is an atmosphere of respect and sincere commitment to the students here. Many an evening I've driven by and seen teachers cars in the parking lot late into the evening which is an indication of the sacrifice and extra hours devoted to planning and preparation for my child and his success. Not only is time spent but solid quality relationships are built among staff, parents, and students.

I would rather my children return to thier prior elementary. Although this school is new and much closer to our home, I haven't been pleased. The administration is lackluster and the teachers leave a lot to be desired. Fair warning! Look elsewhere!

My daughter and son have only attended RES. My daughter is in 3rd grade and my son is in K for the 07-08 school year. I have the utmost respect for the teachers and staff that I have been in contact with. I feel that they have prepared my daughter for the 3rd grade TAKS exam, helped to give her a love of learning, and provided just the right amount free/party time. Even though TAKS testing is over the 3rd graders are currently on a learning cruise around the world. She has enjoyed sharing the information with us about her journey. My son was lucky enough to have the same kindergarten teacher as my daughter and I feel he is well on his way to being just as successful as she is. Naturally, I expect my children to be successful and feel that the teachers support and deliver on my goals. The staff and PTO work hard to develop community and parent relationships so expect a lot of fundraisers and after school events. I don t have any comments regarding the administration as I have not had any direct contact with them. Over all a 5 star school!
