We have had the pleasure of experiencing firsthand the exceptional dual language program offered at Reilly. The dedication of the teachers and the support from the staff truly set this school apart. The dual language program not only fosters linguistic fluency but also promotes cultural understanding and global awareness among students. The teachers are not just educators but mentors who go above and beyond to ensure every child thrives academically and personally. The administration and support staff are equally remarkable, creating a warm and welcoming environment where students feel safe and encouraged to excel. Our overall experience with Reilly has been nothing short of exemplary, and we highly recommend it to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching educational environment for their child.

The school went through some leadership and staffing challenges last year but our new principal since 2022-2023 Mrs. Olano has been wonderful. The school had substitutes last year as did much of AISD but is now fully staffed as of 2023-2024. This school is small with a very tight knit community of committed parents and teachers- everyone knows our kids! I love the dual language program and the librarian who leads the GT program, as well as the focus on community and school events to celebrate the Spanish and Mandarin programs.

I love everything about Reilly. It is a loving community with great teachers. 2020 was a challenging year to start school but the way the school was able to handle all the challenges thrown their way and through remote and in person teaching do such a great job bonding with the kids and managing to teach the kids so much. They even taught SEL in such a lovely and helpful way. I am super impressed. Looking forward to how well they do in a normal year!

I like the size of the school because it's small which leaves for a low student to teacher ratio. It's just unfortunate that teachers don't work closer with students. It seems like they are quick to complain and quit on there students instead of working towards making there students excel.

Excellent! Our daughter is enjoying and learning a lot through Reilly's dual language program. We are thrilled for her to receive solid instruction in both languages. We love being part of the Reilly family!

My son attended the dual language program in kindergarten this year. The staff (principal, counselor, vice principal, and teachers) were very involved in making sure he got the attention he needed. My son can now read in English and Spanish, which blows me away. He has made so much progress this year. Also, class size is small at this school.

Love the individual attention each child gets.as my child was ppcd program for 2years i see big diffrent the staff so help full my child doesnot speach but with this involve program start speach so good star love the help teacher and nice staff. Everyone cares and truly listens to parent concerns and feedback. Teachers are wonderful and take time to get to know each child's strengths and weaknesses. Parental involvement appreciated and encouraged. Just wish there was more funding for extra curricular activities such as after school sports, gardening, cooking, etc...

This is such a great little neighborhood school where the teachers genuinely care about the students. Our kids have been going here for several years and we have really seen the school become an even better environment for learning! Not only does the school test for Gifted and Talented abilities, they actually work to implement the program here. The PTA is also a great way to be involved with our children and we are able to work with and get to know our great teachers and staff! More parent involvement would mean a better school for our kids, other than that--I am very pleased with this school!
