Great environment with great people.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-11-21 “I have had one child go to Spicewood, K - 5th, another currently in 3rd and one who will start next fall. I LOVE this school! There are lots of opportunities for the kids and parents to become involved. There are bunches of clubs for the kids to participate in and the parents are encourage to join and volunteer through the PTA. My experience has been positive almost 100% of the time. Communication and dialogue was encouraged when we had a big issue and I felt it was completely resolved. I feel like my children will be completely ready for the next step! Kudos to Spicewood -- our family LOVES you!!!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-04-04 “My kids have been at Spicewood for 4 years and we love it. Lots of communication between teachers/staff/parents. We are an IB school and learning has benefited from getting this. We get Spanish classes and questions are encouraged. Lots of extras are brought in like authors to read their books, bands, dancers, plays. We don't know how we could find a better school private or public. Currently it is crowded but hopefully that will change with redistricting due to happen in May. I always feel very welcome at school and the rules and regulations were made clear from day one in a booklet sent home.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-12-27 “I had a son that went there and was in Mrs. Mikulencak class kinder. He was really doing well as far as making friends and loving school. We took him out for varies reason. We as parents didn't feel as welcome to be involved in our child's education, as what was communicated that they are trying to accomplish from other parents. We were not given the rules of the school, we had to ask other parents that were there. There were many times we got in trouble with the principal because we didn't know. Again, our level of parental involvement was encouraged but not received. His teacher seem like she was scared to communicate with us. It was a disheartening experience.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-11-21 “Many schools slipped from Blue Ribbon status when the state test requirements changed a couple of years ago. This happened across both AISD and RRISD, and isn't really the fault of the administration. I'm pleased with my daughter's progress in Kindergarten and first grade. They have included a lot of extra opportunities for learning (superstar math, etc.) There is a lot of opportunity for parental involvement, especially in K and 1st. Spicewood has a great PTA and a lot of dedicated volunteers. Lots of popular extracurriculars, such as chess club.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-02-17 “Spicewood is a wonderful school. i am appauled with the schools standards. The school now offers spanish class which has provided very impressive results. The teacher works closely to all students to insure academic advancement. I, as a parent strongly recommend this school” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-02-01 “Long time ago was a Blue Ribbon school. But standards have slipped. Leadership is not strong to drive changes and results” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-08-20 “Very good school. The best things I like is the teacher. My daughter's teachers really teach kids based on students level so every student can learn most. The students come to kindergarden have wide range of previous learn history. Some stay in private school for years and some do not know ABC. It is hard for the teachers to teach. The teachers in Spicewood do a great job let every student can learn new staff what ever his/her lever.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-08-16 “Quality of Academic programs: high-quality Good availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities. Very high level of parent involvement. Very oriented towards inclusion of all parents- most events are in the evenings.”
