Midway Park Elementary School

I was apprehensive at first reading these reviews. I called the district and spoke to a very nice person who guaranteed that the new Principal was turning this school around and if I would just go meet with Principal and Vice Principal I would change my mind. Sure enough she was right, both ladies are so personable and understanding. They put all my worries at ease by explaining they both have small children and would not hire anyone they wouldn't want for their kids. There's a few sketchy kids here but the staff knows who they are and handles them accordingly. I come to lunch with both of my kids quite often and I see how they interact with the children and I am always impressed with the gentleness and sympathetic manner they handle them with. Lunch is not silent, they try to keep the yelling and goofing around at a minimum so they concentrate on eating and only the last 5 minutes is silent to give them the last chance to eat. When my child had an issue with another student it was addressed promptly and handled well between the VP and her teacher. Ms.Tucker is an outstanding Kindergarten teacher, my son adores her and Mr. Smith makes school fun as my daughter has said. I really like both of my kids teachers, they are sympathetic and understanding and just all around good people. I have nothing bad to say about this school ... Except I wish Kindergarten went on more field trips but I'm not sure thats under their control.

This is one of my most favorite schools nice teachers and good staff I love it here it's like paradise to me

Alot of bullying, counselor is useless and mean, alot of ill mannered students.

My daughter loves this school. The teachers and staff seem to be really good. I do not care for the way the school is maintained. It seems really old and dirty to me.

Don't know where to start from, I've been in two other ISD's around DFW metropolis area and in fact I've never faced such bad experience than this year in HEB ISD, it was a bad & rough first year for us in this area, we thought that we might get some good educational experiences for our children as it's quietly vice versa, teachers are very nice & polite when trying to explain things to us, but apparently the management doesn't know what is the best for the children.nSummer school in this area are very much limited and nothing is free, in MISD all of my kids had multiple opportunities to expand their knowledge in every life aspect, starting from home activities up to flight & airlines, science & cultural activities.nI during this year, I never got some summer school program free, everything has a price in HEB, but in MISD & Plano ISD had too many great opportunities for all grades of my children and were all free.
