Butler is a great school with caring teachers and administration. The more involved you are with your students education the more you and your student will receive from it.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted September 19, 2006

We have had a wonderful experience at A.E. Butler. Yes, it was a struggle for my son in the beginning but I believe that is because there is a natural transition period that comes with moving from a 1st through 3rd grade school into a 4th and 5th grade school where you are expected to start taking responsibility for yourself. Most of the administration does their best to assist the children with this transition while allowing them to take responsibility for themselves. It has also been my experience that the parents who feel that they have received less than acceptable experiences here are also those parents who spend a limited amount of time involved in the school/school programs. It does take parent, student and teacher involvement to have the most positive experience possible.

I have been very pleased with this school. My child really enjoys going to school and has excelled on his TAKS tests. This campus has a great group of teachers, administrators, and programs.

I have had two kids go to A.E. Butler within the last 3 years. Neither one had passed their TAAS test as third graders. Since being at A.E. Butler, their grades improved and they have both passed their TAAS/TAKS tests. This school has excellent teachers and administrators.

I have had two children go through this school so far and I am not looking forward to the day my other child starts at this school. My two children were making straight A's and B's until that started at this school and then their grades started coming down.

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.
