What I experienced at Ellisor Elementary were a lot politics and red tape, and a lack of genuine concern for the children. The principal is rude and condescending he likes to talk down to the parents, and the staff is unfriendly. One would expect a more caring attitude from individuals serving in the teaching profession, not to mention more professionalism when interacting with parents. My child s teacher lacked zeal and interest in the children, from my point of view anyway (and I m a former teacher; I should know...). So I pulled my child out of this school where he was falling behind and now he is soaring in his learning. I would not recommend this school to anyone.
I think the deep Magnolia budget cuts have really caused this school to go straight downhill. And perhaps the entire district. Notice the other reviews are prior to the 2010 deep cuts. They laid off 400 positions in this district. And it wasn't based on keeping the good ones. I miss the seasoned teachers that use to be at this school. The leadership? What leadership. You're on your own!
Fantastic principal and teachers. Could not have asked for a better beginning to my son's academic years.
both of my boys go to ellisor, the academics are top of the line, thanks to the wonderful staff of teachers who are lead by the best principle we could ever ask for. the pto at the school is also top notch, always willing to assist when ever asked. top rate school in the area.
my daughter attends she loves it great atmosphere with awesome teachers
Everything schools aspire to be
I think the staff is very good at this school the only complaint is that the curriculum is watered down.
Ellisor is a great school. My son enjoys going to school, I have no trouble getting him up in the mornings.
The principal and teachers are excellent. There was one teacher who was very nice but had a tough time teaching the kids what they needed to learn. She's not there any more. My child had a wonderful experience at Ellisor.
Ellisor Elementary shows a School Bulldog Spirit due to the excellent positive drive from their Principal. I saw him even dressed like a Bulldog.Now, that's getting in with the students. GO ELLISOR!
