Mendenhall Elementary School

I really do not have any complaints. I have kept my child here, even after moving. The dynamics, school culture, and sense of community is always present. There is always a desire to include parents, guardians, and family to be a part of what Mendenhall has going on. They offer After School Academy which provides students to take 'electives' and have experiences they might not ever be exposed to. I love this school.

With all the staff has been good except with the principal. On my opinion that school es way to big for her to be at.

Possibly some of my greatest childhood memories came from Mendenhall. Learning was always a fun experience which led to not only me but also my peers to excel in our studies. Compared to other elementary schools this school was probably one of the most organized. They taught us to be a leader, how to treat our elders and peers with respect, and prepared us for middle school.The school also holds such beautiful school spirit that’ll make me question others why they wouldn’t want to become a longhorn as well. And even though the old building may be gone; the school still carries the charm that I fell for.

My children have been attending this school for the past 4 years, in a rating of 1-10 I would give it a 5 just average. This school is not organized at all when it comes to when their's emergencies such as tornado warning or a class party for example and parents want to pick up students the staff all have something different to say so everyone's on a different note. Teachers not all are loving what they do. Some think that they have the right to speak to a child rude or scream at children starting with the staff in the kitchen and ending in the classroom. Their is only a few teachers that actually do love what they do and they can really show it to the parents and students. Probably just one teacher in every grade level, it's sad. Teaching skills are good but that's not the only thing that should matter!
