i went to this school by 3rd i was reading a 12th levl and is the best


Posted March 5, 2010

My child has been at Patlan since kinder. (He is in 5th now) I have been vry pleased with his teachers. The staff at Patlan is very helpful and everyone goes that extra mile for the students. The principal (Merry White) has brought many new program to Patlan and there is a real sense of family. I'm glad my child has had such a great experience so far.

My son was a student at Patlan for six years and the teachers were so loving and caring.They made sure that my child had all the personal help and resourses that he needed to become a confidant and successfull student.The teachers were always there to encourage whenever needed and to praise a child for a job well done. Patlan was more than a school it was a second family. Job well done!

I was concerned about my child attending Patlan -- at first. I was concerned about the area where the school was located. However, I couldn't be happier with the level of education my child has received during K & 1st. By the end of his 1st grade, he was reading at a 2nd grade level. I love the concept they use for reporting the daily behavior of the children - my child knows we will talk if he gets a 'color change' that day and he knows he will have to report on what behavior caused the color change. Bravo and keep up the good work! Tresa Wells, Mom Jacob Wells

Although I was concerned about my son starting Kinder at Patlan (because of comparisons to other schools in the area), I have been happy with the level of education & teacher-attention that my son has received. He is excited about learning, is anxious to go to school and has learned quite a bit considering they are in kindergarten! Thanks Mrs. Smith! Tresa Wells - Jacob Wells
