The teachers have been very average for calling themselves an "Eanes" school. We initially had issues with bullying which they addressed nicely , however, our child seems to be using a lot of iPad instead of actually using paper/pencil. They continuously state that their screen time is restricted but we di not see paperwork come home or the child learning anything new at school. If at all, all the skills that were acquired at a previous district (rated lower) have been lost and we are struggling to get back to where we started off. Overall, very disappointing!

This school is terrible. The new principal that started in 2017-2018 is useless. Our oldest son was bullied the entire year physically by another student in his class and the principal never got involved at all. Our son's teachers and the counselors had meetings with our son and my family but nothing was ever done. They would not facilitate a meeting between the bully's family and ours to try and solve the issue so nothing ever changed. Our son was assaulted by the bully twice on the last day of school in front of his mom and because his mom stood up for him and told the bully to knock it off, our son was kicked out of the school since we were a transfer family. Transfers are treated differently and they just want to brush bullying under the rug so it doesn't tarnish their "perfect" image in Eanes. If you take out of district transfers, treat them the same as in-district students, not differently. If I could rate this school and district a negative number, I would because they are despicable and pathetic.

Barton Creek Elementary is fantastic! I have a child finishing first grade and second grade this year. They have wonderful activities during the year that allow each child to be pushed to succeed and think about of the box and independently. I have been impressed with Blue Jay Singers and the music teacher goes above and beyond offering the chlidrens multiple venues to perform and be in front. Both my children are now loving being on stage and performing which is something I never believed could happen (especially when my son had speech concerns and was quite and shy...now no longer). My children are challenged everyday in their activities in all areas; PE, Arts, Music. I enjoy the principle, staff and families that actively take part in the lives of their children and yours. It takes a village and I have found the village.

This is our first year at Barton Creek Elementary and we have been very fortunate to be involved with the faculty and school community. The teachers are wonderful and send homework home with the Kindergarten class each week. Our child is reading chapter books and explaining graphs using addition and subtraction. All of his classmates seem to be extremely inquisitive and above average for K5 kids. We have been very impressed with our child's progress so far and love the parent involvement at BCE. The entire community (Senna Hills; Barton Creek West; Rob Roy on the Lake: and others) is involved with the BCE carnival, family movie nights and many other events, which keep our school community very interconnected.
