We used to love this school but the culture has changed for the worse with new administration. Parents no longer feel welcome at this school. Teachers are not held accountable for their treatment of students. The amazing teachers also do not seem as happy. This used to be a wonderful small school that felt like a close knit community. Social emotional learning used to be a priority. Now all they do is teach for standardized testing. Very sad.

If you have a special needs child, stay far away from this school. I have two. And we will be leaving to find a better educational facility. We are not communicated with accordingly and my children are not being protected nor provided for their needs. They have been bullied, and have been continually Singled out, and made examples of, including with me in the pick up line. They demand answers for the needs of your children, with whom they are supposed to be accommodating. Covid made everything worse, but this school made our family life un-bearable.

I really appreciate the family involvement and the events even in spite of Covid. I think for our family that was most important was still being able to get to do things as a family with our daughters school, I hope it only gets better next year! And my daughters kindergarten teacher is the absolute best! Thank you mrs. McLean for all you do!

Zach White is a public school with a private school feel. Teachers in the dual language program are top notch. My kids are excelling here and love school. Staff have been responsive to concerns brought up and communication with teachers is quick through class dojo. There are lots of opportunities for family engagement. It’s also a no homework school which has made our home life so much easier.

I'm very happy with both the teachers and all staff. They listen to us when we have any issues and resolve them as best as they can. The teachers truly care for their students and help them succeed.

I went to Zach White growing up and now my children do. When you walk into Zach White you can feel the Love from the administration, teachers and staff. I have walked into other schools and it felt like I was walking into Jail. At Zach White my children feel safe, get extra tutoring when needed, and both have grown so much this past year. My kids are flourishing despite all of the negative components of being in a pandemic.

New administration is poor (2021-2022) and seems overwhelmed. Office staff is frequently rude - don’t really think parents are viewed as customers and we are more just a thing to deal with.

I think Zach White is a very good school, this was also my elementary school when i was younger. It was also much stricter back then though which I wish would be implemented today.

I have had a child here from the first grade all the way through to the fifth grade. The school and the atmosphere of learning has deteriated. There is no real principal at the school. Every year for the last 3 or 4 years we have had new principals; they have changed for various reasons. Last year an alternative program refered to as BIC was placed here and these are troubles children. They are and have created numerous assaults on other students and teachers. I actually am sad to say it; but Zack White is a dumping ground for all of EPISD. The teachers are trying their best and this school is run by the front office staff. I would not recommend this school.
