Degan Elementary School

Posted November 17, 2009

Having lived overseas and our kids in Private Schools Degan was my sons first public school experience. I was extremly disappointed and would have pulled him out believe all public schools this bad if my daughter had not been at Huffines. What a difference between the two. At Huffines my daughter received post cards from her teachers, meetings for the parents, organizations for her to plug in, and an office staff that was friendly; at Degan I struggled to understand what the teachers were looking for, felt meeting times were not made conveinent for working parents, the programs were only successful because of a few caring teachers, and the office staff contemptous. I'm floored that LISD adminstrators haven't done anything about this...

Once again students are last. Programs cut all the time. For example there will be no participation in UIL this year, apparently because teachers don't want to work w/the students. Not sure how this school is exemplary. I think test scores must be all that matter : (

The teachers are great, but the front office is the most unfriendly group of people. They treat parents as if they are intruders. You almost feel as if you have no right to be there.

Again, poor communication with parents. PTA is a clique of parents, activities for the students have decreased such as,(student council, math night, science fair, etc) things that will enhance students education as well as being fun for the kids and parents. Only a few good/solid teachers that teach the subject matter, not the test. Teaching staff not very diverse.
