PTA staff very rude and clueless I cannot believe the president hasn't been removed. She tries to bully and boss around. I had a problem with a little b harassing my little girl. I complained to the teacher twice and no progress. I decide to call the principal and not only does she ignore me but she pretends that she wasn't aware of the situation. Then later contradicts herself by saying she thought it had been taken care of. She only returned my call because she found out I was
calling GISD to complain about her. Horrible horrible choice for principal.

This school is awful. I never thought I'd be soo happy for school to be letting out for the summer. They are by far the most unorganized school i have ever seen. His teacher can not seem to send information home in a timely manner. The teachers & other supervisors seem to not even like working with these young kids & dealing with their hyperactive behaviors. Have you ever seen 600 four year old kids who aren't a little rambunctious?? It's in their nature, they are just children. They requested that my daycare be there early to pick up because they don't want to watch them for the 10 minutes after that she comes, which is w/in the time frame that she should arrive. I have had more problems with their organization than could possibly be named. If you are considering sending you're child here for the benefits of being all four year olds... beware.
