"My son loves his school. He's been here since kinder and is now starting 4th grade. He has loved everyone of his teachers. He had a very young one in 2nd grade, but has had no problems in this school. My advice to parents is be involved in your child's education. I have noticed that the the children who do well in this school the parents are involved with the pto and communicate with the teachers often. Your child won't make it in any public school if you are not involved."

"This school is horrible, the leaders are very caring and help but teachers don't listen when there is a problem with kids, instead they send them to the punishment room, they do not care if kids are afraid or not...they do not listen and not investigate what really happened before sending them. Teachers don't try to solve problems and if you claim or make suggestions then they makes your kids pay the toll, treating them with indifference. There is a little conspiracy going on between some teachers. Some teachers are too young and others have the perfect behavior like to be in a high school, not elementary. My boy entered the school very happy and now is criying often asking for his old school. PLEASE, KIDS LEARN MUCH BETTER WITH LOVE AND PATIENCE."

"This school is horrible! The teachers are all very young and for the most part don't know how to handle students. There are too many kids in each classroom and the open room concept does not help. My kids are both doing well academically but the classroom style is not working for my youngest. The principal seems okay but her office staff does not have the ability to handle anything more than basic juvenile squabbles. Bullying is a major issue at this school and for the most part is not addressed or handle sufficiently. They have been know to have physical fights on the playground over soccer and my son heard a teach call a student ghetto. This is not an environment I want my kids growing up in and they will attend a different school next year."

"I hate this school and believe their open room concept is for the birds. You will find a few teachers that have been teachers for 12+ years and still remember how to teach. But for the most part they are all young and only know how to teach to the Test. They don't even teach cursive writing anymore.... My son did well because I re-taught him basically everything each night and made him do well. He is in 5th grade so we are through with Jowell. But will be moving out of this district in hopes of finding better education. Also a note for new parents to remember. The demographics and neighborhoods around Jowell have changed drastically!!!!! It does make a difference in education. Good Luck!"

"I do not like Jowell at all. While both my sons are exceeding academically, they are doing so because of their ability and because the teachers are good - the school itself and all of its policies are very below par! They are underfunded and much more concerned with state testing than with giving enriching educations to our children. Maybe this is the state of all public schools in Texas, but I have a hard time believing that. It has gotten so bad that we are not only leaving the school, but also the district in an effort to fine a better program."
