It's true, a lot of these children are lower income and many are hard to manage as far as keeping them behaved and focused, but the staff does a beautiful job. I observed a class recently and I can't fathom how this teacher had so much patience and works so hard all day long to keep all the children engaged and each working at his own level (this was a Montessori class). We transferred IN to HISD from Cy-Fair to be part of this program. My child is four, and I've seen many positive changes in her in only a few months - organizational skills, curiosity about the outdoors, etc. I have great expectations from this school.
This school has a fantastic Montossori Program! If you are looking for a school that keeps up with triditonal expectations and still allows a child to grow at their own pace. A school that offers on on one attention and encourages parent envolvement then this is a great school for you! We have a son who is a slow learner and a son who excells in every area and this school was able to meet both of our sons needs. We love the administration and the teachers. The communication between them and the parents is great. You can really feel that you can work out your problems here at this school. We highly reccommend it to anyone. This school has a good ethnic mix which we believe attributes to it's lower test scores. But all of the teachers are wonderful! We love this school!
My children have done very well at Garden Oaks Elementary -- they love learning, have excellent teachers, a pretty campus, stellar test scores, teachers who teach up to their potential, classmates in our neighborhood & to top it off, we walk to school!
The 'habitat' area is beautiful as are many other gardens at the school -- cared for by students, teachers & parents. Both the traditional and Montessori classes have excellent teachers. My children are upper income as well as g/t (Vanguard) and they have done very well at Garden Oaks Elementary.
