Graham Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-06-22 “My daughter has been at Graham since kinder and has now completed the 5th grade. I can honestly say this last year was her best. Principal Helwig has done an outstanding job in the one year he has been on board; he has great commitment to the student, and is always easy to get in contact with. I feel that Graham is definately on the right track now, I wish it included grade 6 so my daughter could stay there. Way to go Mr. Helwig!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-06-10 “The school is one of the better Elementary schools in Austin. It has its flaws in the bus system sure. But you are going to find flaws no matter where your kids attend school at. My daughter went here over 10 yrs. ago. My 2 sons currently attend this school. I love the staff. I love the involvement from the teachers, and how they puch the kids to do their very best. My kids don't want to go to another school. They love it here and so do I. There is a lot that needs fixing, sure, but that is what the PTA is for. You guys are the BEST!!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-10-01 “We just started school at Graham Elementary despite numerous negative reactions and comments received from the community (i.e. located on the East side, primarily minority or ESL, incompetent teachers, extreme or inappropriate discipline, etc). We decided that most were based on feelings rather than facts or personal experiences. Prior to the first day of school, we met with the principal, vice-principal, and general staff to discuss our general concerns, including the negative comments/feedback. We learned that the school has a new principal which is the 'Go! . He is open to parents concerns and issues. While we are fairly new to public schools, we look forward to continue being as involved as we can and informed to ensure the school meets our high expectations, not just for our kids but the entire school. If not yet, we will be known on a first name basis as we visit the school daily.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-02-25 “First let me say the bus system is horrible. My children academically have been getting worse since attending this school,I feel like I am the teacher now, I might as well just homeschool my children.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-11-01 “The teachers at Graham Elementary want the kids to learn, and they encourage and push them to what they are capable of. The teachers are always availabe when you need to talk.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-01-11 “I think that the faculty and staff at Graham Elementary is exemplary. The office staff is friendly and helpful. The teachers really seem to care about the kids and try to focus on positive reinforcement. Although many students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, the parents really seem to care about their children's education.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2004-12-02 “My kids have been going to this school for 2yrs and I regret moving here. My daughter has always been a straight A student and I feel that this school does not challenge them enough. My daughter had a fifth grade reading level at the end of first grade and it started going down each year. It seems like the teachers are always behind and blame it on wasting time on the bad kids. My kids had been to 2 other schools before this one cuz we've moved and this one is the worst school they have attended. They are good about keeping kids safe though. Another thing this is the only school that my kids have complained about. They complain about all the nasty language and things they here in school.”
