“Lack of organization, some classes don't have boards for teachers to write, as a parent I have to pay for any field trips and at the bus with 2 and that is ilegal. The teacher is doing her best, but the classroom is very small.”

“My child started here two years ago in the pre-k3 program. He will be starting kindergarten this August and is already reading and loves homework. Ms. Carter was his teacher for pre-k4 and she is truly a gifted educator. Principal Bullock has stocked this school with extremely capable educators who love their job.”

“I withdrew my child due to inability of the school to offer concrete support, without the exclusive focus on TAKs, Principal refused to return calls. I found the the entire program being more on funding that the actual progress of my child.”

“This is my daughter's second year. She has been learning really good. I rate it as average because the school is very unorganized and tell the parents about activities at the last minute. I know if they are out of school before the teacher knows due to me asking other parents and going online at the hisd website. It is an excellent school for learning but that is it. Communication, diversity, activities, traffic is the major problems this school has. I would not recommend this school to anyone. This will be my daughters last year there.”

“This is a wonderful school. I was a teacher there, and working at this school I know what the school is about. The teacher's there work hard to make sure the students learn everything they need to know. Someone said the school is not diverse. Yes the school is diverse. I have a child that is 2 now and when she becomes 3 or 4 I will be enrolling her in the prek program. This school offers alot. This school follows the states curriculum. The people who posted about the TAKS test. This is Texas. All schools teach the test. No matter what school your child attend your child will be reviewing the TAKS test all year. Your child have to pass the TAKS test to be promoted to the next grade. I can't wait to enroll my daughter in Energized for Excellence. This school is Energized for Excellence.”

“I agree wholeheartedly with what the Parent who posted on May 21, 2008 said. This school is nothing but TAKS, TAKS, TAKS. They start preparing for TAKS on the VERY FIRST DAY of school. The teachers even have them write out the ENTIRE TAKS booklet (from previous years) in an effort to get them to retain the information. And on TAKS testing day the students are required to work on the test for the ENTIRE eight hours. No test is to be turned in before 4:00. My son mentioned how bored he was, going over the material over and over again and then he began to second guess his answers. Being a charter school I understand that TAKS scores are how they receive their funding but this is beyond ridiculous.”

“My daughter has been at this schools since 2000. It an excellent choice for PRK-2nd. Once they get to the TAKS testing grades it is over. 5th grade has been horrible. They do not even switch for classes when it comes time to take the TAKS. For example before the Reading TAKS they were in their computer class taking TAKS release test, in Health taking TAKS Release test. This is why they are recognized. They only teach the test. My daughter can really take a TAKS test but can not label a map of the US because it is not on the TAKS”

“The school would be a great school if it were more diverse. The classes are small so they kids get the attention they need. The best part is the Attendance Lady who always helps with a smile...Ms.Rosette.”

“I have good views and bad views about this school. The teachers are excellent and really teach the kids good. They are excellent when it comes to learning, but I would never send my child there due to the fact that the Principal never responded to any of my calls. The traffic is a nightmare. There policies on picking up your kids is extremely unorganized. I never receive news letters, I find out about events at the last minute and the students are not put in classes correctly.”

“The teachers are wonderful! The main problem is access/traffic to the building in the morning and afternoon, it is TERRIBLE! The bilingual program is great my son now speaks a little of Spanish..well enough to make a conversation. My sons teacher doesn't speak Spanish so I kind of wonder how the other 15-20 students are learning.”

“In my opinion I think this is a great school. The teachers really care about the students. The school and classes are small so they can pay attention to every child individually. Since it's small, children feel like a family.”

“I am very impressed with their bilingual program. My son is in the Pre K 4 program and he is started your school only speaking English. After spending just a small amount of time in the Spanish class for half day, he now speaks several Spanish words. I think it is a very good program. However, I do have one concern. I don t believe the classes were divided appropriately. In my opinion, the classes should have been split in a way that has just as many English speaking students as there are Spanish speaking students. My son is in a class where he and one other student are the only two students whose first language is English. I think his teacher has to place most of his attention to the majority of the class. This leaves my son and the other student at a lost.”
