Kathy Caraway Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-08-29 “There is something about this school that I am not going to find elsewhere. We are potentially moving and one thing that might keep us here is this school. It's small, the principal knows everyone, the parents walk their kids to school every morning. At schools where wealthier kids go which are usually called 'the best', there is so much competition and cliquish behavior even in very young grades. This school has the excellent education without that. I have a handicapped child with a facial deformity and was concerned about her well being at a public school. I was sold after one teacher told me of another child with medical problems who was being made fun of on the playground by a new student. The other kids stepped in & said 'we dont do that here.' Diverse, tolerant, small. I highly recommend Caraway.” Posted By: other Quality Score: decline 2009-06-17 “I love Kathy Caraway Elementary! Why? Because it's obvious that this is a place where the children are the top priority...it's not just about testing, although, of course, that has to be addressed. Also, it's obvious that parents, grandparents, and interested others are welcome. I greatly appreciate the enthusiasm exhibited by the administration and staff. Thank you, Kathy Caraway Elementary, for taking such good care of our children and for being so welcoming to us all!

Everyone, from the Principal to the teachers to all the staff [including custodians, cafeteria workers, etc] -- all are fabulous and very committed to the kids. Academically, it is challenging but the thing that strikes everyone about Caraway is the warm, family-like atmosphere.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-04-18 “We have two children currently attending the school. We have been thoroughly impressed with the quality of the education. I think it all filters down from the principal who has impressed us tremendously. She seemingly knows all the names of the children, their parents and all the siblings of students not in the school. I cannot tell you how impressive that is for us. The parents are very active. Our kids LOVE going to school more than any other time in their lives. It is a wonderful place to have your kids go to school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-10-20 “The school creates a feeling of family. The children are encouraged to be kind and accepting to each other, lessons that stay with them thru High School. The counselor is actively involved with all the children and it's the type of school where the principal knows each child by name. I cried when my last child was done with elementary school because I knew this school was a magical place.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-02-05 “Our daughter loves this school and so do we as her parents. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great school for their children. The teachers are enthusiastic and creative and the principal is fabulous. The parents are highly involved with the school. Overall Caraway is a great place to learn!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-08-09 “This school is a throwback to what I remember in the early 60's, a smaller school with a caring staff, and lots of parental involvement. the Round Rock School district is a good one, and students from adjoining schools transer into Kathy Caraway (formerly North Oaks). The school has only had two principals since it's opening in the 1970's to give you an idea of the continuity. Perhaps of equal importance is the middle school, high school path for attendees of Caraway elementary is exceptional. So if you are reading this prior to a home purchase it's something to keep in mind.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-04-19 “North Oaks (now Caraway Elementary) is a very good school. Parents are very involved, and the teachers are excellent.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-03-30 “We have found North Oaks (recently renamed Kathy Caraway) to be responsive and professional in every respect. The principal and AP are friendly and helpful, our daughter's 'specials' teachers make her day fun - and educational - and her teacher is incredible: boundless energy, devotion to the field of education and the ability to identify what each child in her classroom needs. The library is beautiful and the librarian and library assistant are very helpful and extremely friendly to the children. Parental involvement is excellent.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-09-15 “This is a great school. Children really enjoy learning and teachers really do care about their job. Teachers are very experienced as well.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-08-11 “Level of parent involvement is high and the school encourages this.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-06-13 “This is a wonderful school. The teachers are very talented and really care about the children. The children's work is displayed everywhere throughout the building which makes it a very warm and enviting place to visit and volunteer. There are plenty of field trips away from the school as well as hands-on learning experience that are brought to the school.”
