Whitt Elementary has been a great school for my children. The staff always makes the kids feel like individuals and takes time to know every single one. The teachers have been very impressive. We have even been blessed to have a couple take interest with our kids and work with them even though they are not one of their students. The PTA is very involved and has supplied the school with some much needed items along with some fun items. Everyone involved with the school really seems to have the kids interests at heart.
We are in our second year there and we have had great teachers.. The parental involvement is greatly lacking. Most parents seem to want to get the kids out of their hair for that seven hours a day and not do anything to help around the school... Not including the working parents in this. I see many that stay at home that do just not want to do a thing but complain about the teachers.. Get in there and help! I love it there.
Whitt Elementary is a beautiful campus and does have a few great teachers. However, the staff as a whole is a disappointing group of uninspiring teachers whose level of genuine care for their students is greatly lacking. My recommendation is to carefully research the school and, more importantly, the teacher with whom your child would be placed. The school believes that no one teacher is better than another. Theoretically this sounds great, but in reality it could not be farther from the truth. I would guess that a maximum of half the reviews were written by actual parents and the other half by Whitt administrators working to increase their positive rating.
Great school, high parent involvement. great teachers and administrators.
Great teachers, new school, high rating on TAKS testing for third graders
We have the best principal, teachers, students and PTA
We have GREAT TEACHERS & STAFF. The parents really get involved. Our PTA Rocks !
Superb! Our daughter loves school. We started at COX and it was great - then Whitt opened and she moved to Whitt. The teachers are smart, they challenge the kids and they provide the help and motivation for them to succeed. Good communication with parents too.
Both my kids attend Witt Elementary. They are excited about learning, my daughter is reading books at a rapid pace. Great parents and teachers.
