My children started at Overton. Pre-K teacher Mrs. Richards was awesome and so was Mrs. Clark though I'm not sure what grade she's currently teaching. However, my children experienced teachers who profiled them and me. One teacher told my child when she expressed she wants to be the president of the U.S.A that this was not possible. Also my oldest while in 3rd grade with Mrs. Peralta had continuously failing grades. I switched their schools. My youngest had all A's all year, while my oldest ended with all AB Honor Roll the entire year, she also passed her STAR test (4th grade). My experience was the teachers quit caring, and felt I was a young black mother who didn't care, which couldn't be further from the truth. My kids will go to UT and Spellman, and be very successful, I now have them at Decker where the teachers communicate with me and want and expect excellence from them just as I do. The principal I thought was a good role model but she was not as involved as she should be.

This is my daughter's first year in this school and so far I am very pleased. I have a great rapport with her teacher. I am very pleased with the principal. I see my daughter having a wonderful year. I am a very involved parent and I know when a school is headed for success and I see great things in this school. The school aesthetically speaking is beautiful. The coloring of the walls are bright this provides a happy environment for the children and employees. I feel the principal and staff work hard to provide an intellectual environment for their scholars!!!!!
