Saegert Elementary

"The school treats the parents like criminals and feels like a prison. It is near impossible to get on to campus to have access to your own children, for reasons such as, a dentist appointment. However, even when you are buzzed in to come in through the front door, you have to show government issued ID and sign in - like a prison. Furthermore, after 3:00, they keep your children without you having access to them, for over an hour, unless you have committed your child to be picked up 24 hours in advance - this is not district policy and is illegal according to state law, which says the school cannot deny you access to your children except but 15 minutes prior to dismissal (which is at 4:00). My children are all GT - a protected class in Texas, and yet are constantly ignored by their teachers. I have to buy curriculum and teach them at home, after school, to keep them engaged in learning, because their school curriculum consists of crafts and busy work. Hopefully the principal sees this and corrects course."

"This school has provided poor customer service and have not offered my children a safe place to attend. They have a poor anti-bully program and their concern for children is minimal. They have vague policies that are difficult to understand the unwritten portion of the policies that they have also created. The parents are then blamed for not following policy. Parents are not included in the decision making process in regards to their own children. Everything is ultimately up to the principal. I do not find out pertinant information about my children until it is too late. Their is a breakdown in their overall system. They are rude and do not understand proper customer service. The teachers yell at the children because they are unsure of how to handle the children. The administration tolerates this as a whole. The admin assistants are unprofessional and enjoy talking about parents in front of other parents. All these people need training."
