Allan Elementary School

Posted September 30, 2009

My children have been attending Allan for almost 4 years now, my sonis in high school and started 5th grade at Allan. I was really hesitant about sending my children to public school in a big city, we moved here from Smiley, Texas.; and I have been truelly blessed by the teachers and staff of Allan. I love the office staff who know my children personally and when I call they recognize me as well. It is such a great feeling when i mention whose parent I am and so many people have wonderful things to tell me about my children even the cafeteria staff. So a big thank you to all of those at Allan Elementary.

This school has the hardest working teachers of any I've seen. My children's Pre-K teachers were beyond awesome. Unfortunately, beyond second grade or so, the kids are drilled endlessly for the standardized test. All morning doing reading drills and all afternoon doing math. My kids are too bright to need that. They seem to have to teach to the middle kids - spec ed kids get the bare minimum help and GT kids don't get any support. As I said, every teacher I met seems to put in 100%. The PTA seemed to have great parent involvement. I don't know what the problem is.
