Caldwell Elementary School

Caldwell was once an outstanding school! Teachers were exceptional as was all of the supporting staff. All staff seemed to put the students first. As the years passed, however, administration saw students as test scores and parents as the driving force behind a teachers worth. Hopefully things will come full circle and Caldwell will return to its former glory days, where EVERYONE, admin, teachers and parents put the children and their needs first.

I'm in the UTeach program at the University of Texas at Austin. I was assigned to come observe and student teach at Caldwell this past semester. It was a great experience. My cooperating teacher was outstanding. She executed her lessons flawlessly and genuinely cared for her students. It was very easy to see that she shared a strong connection with her class. When I taught lessons, the students were engaged and very fast learners. EXTREMELY WELL DISCIPLINED. This school is a great school and deserves MUCH more credit than the previous reviews have given it.

This school is really uncaring for individual child, and if you ask something, they are tired of it. I am so happy to see that other moms have the same opinions as mine. I have been felt " Am I doing something wrong?? I am just asking !!"

We have been in the school since it opened in 2002. The discipline is firm but caring, the teachers are involved with parents and children alike and the associate staff (cafe managers, assistants, office) are always ready and willing to help parents and students alike. Parents should always remember, they must always keep the lines of communications open with all school personnel. The parent is the only advocate for the child!

I am disappointed in this school. I have constantly had to ask my son's teachers to challenge him more. Class ratios are large. Any teacher I've come across has been disorganized and uninterested in the children once the bell rings. Discipline isn't held up to as high a standard as I'd like.

This is an okay school. I have two daughters in the school and both have struggle all year due to a lack of individual student teacher time. My daughters did much better at their last school in the Round Rock ISD.
