David Elementary School

Posted October 1, 2009

Wonderful school! I have two children at David Elementary. The teachers love working at this school and they are content and happy which helps them focus on your children. Parents are always telling me how lucky they are to be at this elementary. They have many many volunteer activities that help the school and the teachers throughout the year. The school district starts testing for gifted and talented children in 2nd grade when the gap starts to widen for those children who are able to take in more information at a higher level.

My child has attended first grade at David Elementary. Here are some things I wish I had known before I chose to locate in an area zoned to David Elementary. The Conroe ISD does not provide any accomodation for gifted and talented children until third grade. While all instructors are certified and trained to deal with gifted and talented children, instructional attention is necessarily focused on lowest achieving and least prepared students. David draws from a relatively affluent community and may have less disadvantaged students than other schools. However, Texas minimum educational standards are not high in the early elementary years and well prepared students from out of will not be very challenged. Other nearby school districts do begin identifying G&T students as early as kindergarten. Parent volunteering consists of raising money, organizing fundraisers, and giving meals/gifts to teachers. No involvement in classroom or help for teachers.

David is a fantastic school where parent involvement is abounding and the teachers are top notch. Our principal is a wonderful man who gets to know each of the children personally. Beginning in 1st grade each child has PE daily as well as a daily rotation of music, art and computers and a weekly trip to the library which has a 2 story castle in it where the children can sit and read their books. David is located in the heart of the Woodlands which is known for its beauty and excellence in educational standards and has consistantly been rated the highest by the state of Texas.

David Elementary is a gem of a school located in The Woodlands. My sons' teachers have all been very helpful and responsive to all our questions and concerns. One teacher consistently creates a challenging curriculum for our third grade son that does not entail busy work or worksheets. He has been challenged and engaged thoroughly this year. Another son has had difficulties with reading. He is receiving individualized help during school and his teachers keep us informed and provide strategies that we can use at home. The front office staff is always welcoming. This school has a wonderful atmosphere that shows this is a great place to learn.
