We put our children in Deerwood after leaving a private school in the area. While my children have had to make some adjustments because of the differences, they love the school. Both have had very good teachers and they've thrived in their new environment. I've found everyone at the school to be very helpful and welcoming. And the physical education program is great! I can't say much about the principal. I've met her and seen her a few times, but I don't get the impression that she's a very visible figure at the school.
My children no longer attend Deerwood, due to the total lack of consideration for their needs. We had one teacher tell us Deerwood just was not the right place for our son.A child who had no behavior problems. We felt failed by the principal who really is not concerned with the students, and is rarely seen. Deerwood would like to appear perfect, but they have an awful lot of dirt under the rug.
I have had numerous children go through this school, as well as currently have children there. I find the school to be excellent in all areas. No school is perfect, so one shouldnt expect perfection. That being said, the administration has always met with me, listened to me, and responded. The staff and teachers are excellent. It doesnt mean that you will not find a teacher that periodically decides to retire for whatever reason, and sometimes it is a good idea. But on the whole, you couldnt ask for a better education and experience for your children, all paid for by your tx dollars. As well, parent involvement is superior, like no other!
Deerwood used to be a great school with a great student:teacher ratio. However, the school now busses children in causing over-crowding for those students who have to walk or are driven since bussing for *local* children is NOT provided. The leadership in this school tends to sweep things under the carpet and keep everything hush-hush. On the brighter side - the teachers are all EXCELLENT!!!!
