My son loves school. He has grown and learned so much. I attribute that to his wonderful pre-k teacher, the excellent staff, and great sense of community shared amongst the parents and teachers here. Thank you all for an amazing 2010-211 school year!
Excellent staff. Excellent principal. School has a sense of community. Parent involvement is welcomed. Great school!!!
I love this school. The office staff is wonderful and so is the pre K Teacher.
I love this school! The teachers really take the time to work with each individual child. The communication between parent and teacher is great and I feel that they truly care. It takes a special person to be a teacher and there are some very special people teaching at Armstrong......
Our daughter has attended Armstrong for 4 years now and we are so pleased with the environment at the school. She is part of the Gifted and Talented program and qualified for the academy, but we chose to put her in this school. The teachers are well qualified and very good at encouraging our daughter to excell - and she gets extra learning opportunities through the Gifted and Talented program at the school. The school is welcoming and all of our daughter's teachers have worked with us to ensure her success.
I love this school. My daughter attended a nearby Sachse Elementary last year and this school is much more organized, focused and overall - just has it together. The staff is friendly and helpful. The communication between parents and teachers makes it a great school! The teachers really want to be successful and help the children be successful.
Excellent Staff and Leadership. Very supportive and helpful to the students and parents. My daughter was very happy throught K-5th grade.
Good School Great for new families and excellent class room sizes.
My 5th grader will be attending this school with his sister, who will now be in the 1st grade. She attended kindergarten last year while my son stayed at Lune Elem. I believe this school will only get better every year because of the wonderful leadership from Mrs. Becky Ayars. She has been an educator for many years and although it is sometimes hard for parents to know what is right, I have all the confidence in her to give my children the best groundwork for their education. My son has done exceptionally well at Luna and is very low maintenance for me. He has always completed his homework and gets honor roll every six weeks. This was my only reason for keeping him at Luna last year while I 'tested the waters' at Armstrong. Mrs. Ayars has been highly recommended and praised by many of my friends that are educators. I have first hand knowledge that she hires great teachers and is a great leader. Her goal seems to be one that any parent would share. She expects the children to be educated, disciplined, respected, loved, and challenged. I am excited to be a part of this school and I am very pleased that she is the leader of my children's education.
