Anita Scott Elementary School

i have had 2 kids in this school and i am very unhappy and plan to remove my kids from this district all together. Scott has not meet my child's need for her learning disability and had to start all over when moved up to the next school...and my kindergarten son they wanted to do add/adhd testing on and the teacher has been absent 95%of the school year and now wants to hold him back because the sub did not teach him what was on her learning lessons for the year. the staff is un willing to have meeting with parents to discuss matters but nothing can be done because the teacher is still absent and unable to have the meeting she wants.. this school is the worst in the whole district.

I have had two children that have attendent and I am very happy with the school. I come from California and the schools out here are wonderful. I see more parent involvement out here then I have ever seen in California. I have loved all the teachers that my children have had.

I have been very unhappy with this school. The principal is rude and unfriendly. He allows his staff to be rude to and yell at parents right in the front office and does not take action. Quite a few of the staff are very rude. They do not respect or care for the children the way that a school should. They do not handle money for lunches or the little shops and bookfairs very well. Very unorganized. And almost impossible to get help or answers to any questions you might have.

I was very disappointed with this school year. The over all school environment is not a welcoming one. The principal is not friendly to parents or children, the office staff is just rude and unhelpful. The lunches are horrible and the staff is mean to the children. The parent involvement is seriously lacking in this school and it shows. Their are a handful of good teachers and even more terrible teachers. I see a huge lack of mentoring for new teachers and it shows in their ability to lead a successful classroom. I am very sad that we moved to this school district and will be very happy when we leave it :(

We have been delighted with Anita Scott Elementary. We had moved our son from Rockwall schools where he was not reading after the 1st grade and was in a slow learner program. After enrolling him at Scott, his wonderful teacher recognized that he had signs of dyslexia, took appropriate action, and he was reading well by Christmas. It took a well-trained teacher observation to see what he needed and Scott Elementary met the need with action. A year later, my son is child who loves to read at grade level and is in the Talented and Gifted program. All teachers that he has had at Scott have been excellent teachers. They have helped him discover and develop his talents. Also, the principals at Scott care deeply about their school's children and show it in their work to provide fun school & family extracurricular activities to make the best possible environment for learning.
