Bluebonnet Trail Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2009-04-29 “My son and daughter attends BTE. I really like how the Principal is actively involved and knows what taking place on her campus. She's has always been receptive to addressing my concerns and gives immediate attention to critical issues. So far, I haven't had a problem with the teachers and have been blessed with teachers that addressed concerns in a timely and professional manner. No campus is perfect, I'm overall pleased with the school. However, I think the district could do a better job of providing more nutritious school meals and alternatives for kids with special dietary needs. I think the school also need to provide more learning opportunities for kids in the talented and gifted programs. I think that the parents of BTE's students need to be more involved and show support for the PTO and school related functions.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-06-03 “The principal wants the school to appear perfect, but the school has a lot of inner turmoil. There would probably be more parent participation if the leadership was open to dealing with problems, instead of avoiding the problem.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-04-02 “My son has been enrolled at BTE since Pre-K and is now in 2nd grade. My observations: At the beginning of every school year the administrators scramble to balance student - teacher ratio. There has been an average of 22 kids in every one of my son's classes. BTE is in firefight mode to avoid getting classified as an 'In Need of Improvement' school so they are basically teaching the test. I have chosen to move my son to a charter school with a proven track record.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-02-28 “My son has been in BTE since Kindergarten and we love this school! My son has a form of Autism and the school, it's special ed department, Principal and Assistant, as well as all of the teachers have been wonderful! There has not been a single teacher I have not liked! There is a great deal of parental involvement, and the administration is always looking for more. I highly recommend this school!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-11-22 “Good School, so little parent participation. Principal makes an effort but teachers and parents do not respond 100% to principal.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-11-22 “Good school, great principal, only problem over populated!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-09-12 “This school has a lot of Spanish students, and as a result quite a few Spanish classes. For example, this year there are 3 Spanish Kindergarten classes and 4 English. The Spanish students tend to score lower on test scores, which is the main reason for it's lower test results each year. The demographic tends to keep shifting as well. The school was built to support the Wells Branch subdivision, however the area grew slower than expected and so students have been brought in from Manor. New construction has changed this, and there will probably be fewer bussed students in the future. Teachers so far haven't seemed to stay very long. The facility is pretty new and nice enough.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-03-24 “Caring teachers, especially Ms. Carillo with the resource program. Big concerns once you get to the Middle School.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2003-12-01 “BTE has caring, quality teachers working in a challenging environment. Parental involvement is very low. The school is roughly half suburban middle class children with good homes, and half children with less opportunity.”
