    "All three of my children LOVE this school! I love our principal and staff. I love that my children are eager to go to school and they hug all of their teachers because they love them so much."

    "Recently moved back to TX and were excited to get back into CFISD. Both of my daughters got A's/B's on their report card and both read at levels beyond their current grade. Sounds good, right? It took a lot of time and effort to ensure they got these grades. We work with our kids every evening, check online grades couple of times a week, look for additional resources online, and correspond with the teachers as needed. Even with all of this, we find that when our girls do poorly (below a 70) on a test, the things they get wrong are not indicative of the homework they were given. I have been told by more one than one staff member that the District sends tests and assessments they have to give, and these materials often have a lot of emphasis on things they will need to know for the next grade (even though we are less than 1/2 way through the current grade). I am all about teaching children to push themselves and succeed, and I know schools are funded based on test scores/ratings. There needs to be balance between this and ensuring children are successful/well-rounded. The teachers work hard, and I appreciate all they do. I'm just not sure the overall system is functioning properly."

    "My son started kindergarden 2010 and went there for about a week. He had a concussion on the playground and went to the nurse. Then he went back to his empty classroom unescorted.... he eventually wandered out of the building. This is what happens when the people you trust neglect your child!!! A stranger called me who had found my son across the street. Thank God he knew my phone number. We took him to the hospital... found out he had a concussion. We withdrew him from school and moved. Bang elementary is going downhill... I do NOT recommend sending your child here."

    "My daughter is in kindergarten this year and I haven't been happier. Her teacher is is wonderful, which I am pleased with since this is her first year in school. Even the rest of the staff there have been wonderful in helping my daughter to adjust to school. Her teacher keeps in touch with me through email and is very quick to respond if I have any questions. This is my first child in school and I have been pleased with the school so far."

    "I was at this school for a few years recently. I found no significant problem with the kids at all. Look at subgroup test scores. They tell you everything you need to know about the problems. The school was once a glorified school and the teachers who worked there reveled in this status. High performance, high privilege, white. Many of those teachers are still there and instead of adapting to the needs of the current student body, they just whine about the 'problems' and the old days. Many of the veteran teachers have been here forever. Rather than learning what they need to learn about teaching a variety of children, they blame the kids. There is nothing wrong with the kids. Get some open minded, growth oriented teachers of all ages, colors and backgrounds. Scores of blacks, boys, special ed, and Hispanics will shoot up."
