Seeking advice about the following schools, whether good or bad.
I'm trying to choose a school for my daughter to attend first grade at next year and I've been told these certain schools still have seats available. She attended a private Kinder this year that does not have a first grade.
-- Toler
-- Couch
-- Shugart
-- Carver
-- Club Hill
-- Nita Pearson
TIA for any advice! : )
My aunt's eldest child attended Toler K-5 & his little brother is now a first grader there & she loves it. She's VERY active & knows the principal & teachers personally. I'll be happy to pass on her email address if you'd like? PM me, if so.
I taught at Toler and there are some wonderful teachers there. :) They just got a new principal, so I can't tell you much about her. The asst. is sweet and supportive. I know the asst. at Club Hill. He's great, but I don't know much about his school. If you go to this website, you can see more about the schools. (ie) test scores, teacher experience, teacher and student makeup (ie) m/f and ethnicity, ratios, number of students, and more.

Type in the school's name. I think Carver just opened this year so their scores won't be up. Now keep in mind, schools are so much more than their scores. I just thought you might want that info. I suggest touring each school and getting a feel of the campus. call up to the office and set a good time.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need anything else!
Carver and Peason Great Schools! I have worked in Gisd for 5 years and all over as a substitute. Couch is my third choice. Pearson has a great assistant principal Mr. Stav! He is awesome... Good luck
