Crockett Elementary School

Crockett is such a great school. All staff members from the custodians to the principal help create a wonderful learning environment. My son transferred to Crockett from another school and I couldn't be happier with this change. He has blossomed so much his year here. His kindergartner teacher ( Mrs. Cabrerra) is an example of an ideal teacher. She is passionate about teaching the children and truly cares for her students.

This is a really good school, with some amazing teachers and staff members. My daughters kinder/first teacher Mrs. Cabrera(this was a combined class), really challenged her. She just completed kindergarten and is reading above first grade level (middle of level). The school had many staff members that were very helpful. In fact from the costodial staff to the teachers you it was a team effort. The cafeteria provided lowfat healthy meals (nothing fried), the costodial staff kept the school clean and watched out for the children, non-teaching academic coaches gave insight into additional activities to enhance learning. They even had a great parent liason (Gracie Compos) that assisted parents with needs and coordinated teacher and parent volunteer activities.

Crockett is a phenomenal school. The teachers do an excellent job of evaluating and challenging each student based upon their abilities. The administration is very involved and works daily to make Crockett the very best. We are lucky to have such dedicated people at Crockett.

The adminstration and staff are equally concerned with the emotional and physical needs (well-being) of the students as they are with their educational needs. They balance learning with letting kids be kids in ways that empower kids to succeed at life as well as education. They teach kids educational tools that they can take out into their lives and use each day. A caring, professional staff and administration who give 110% of themselves each day are what make Crockett one of my favorite schools.

Since these reviews, Crockett has taken good measures to improve security and the safety of our children by implementing a check-in system that limits entrance into the school through the front and requires each visitor to submit their identification through a system that runs a background check on them.

The principal makes her appearances, but never felt like she really listened or cared about parent concerns. School safety is a huge issue. Parents are what make this school all that it can be.

As the proud parent of a first grader, I would just like to say that I am extremely impressed with Crockett Elementary. The staff go above and beyond my expectations. I am so glad that she is a part of this wonderful environment. Thank you Crockett!

Crockett is a simply wonderful school with teachers who want to be there and who really want their student's to succeed. It has a very active PTO and lots of parent volunteers. I have had two sons go through Crockett - one a child with some special needs - and they were great. The teachers spend so much time with the students and are so supportive. Most children pass the TAKS and most get Commended perfomance. They also have lots of field trips. It is often joked about by us parents that they only way for a new teacher to come to Crockett is that an older one retires - there is almost no turn over of staff.

My daughter went to montessori before here and transitioned well. She loves it.
