I attended this school and so did my children. Sellars holds a special place in my heart. Close knit, good STAAR scores. One of the better elementary schools in FWISD.

This school is by worst the worst of the schools!!!They don’t give kids a second chance the staff is rude you cannot walk your kid or even talk to the teacher in the mornings unless you have a Conference with them.... my son was getting bullied by some kids and as much as I told the teacher she really seemed not to care the other school my son was in he was doing so good and once we came to the school he dropped grades and would always cry because the teacher wouldn’t want to explain to him the homework...I’m the type of mom that like to be involved in school but this school I just didn’t feel any connection...this school when I mean sucks it sucks!!!!

If I could give them a grade of 0 I would, but they lucked up on a 1! This is the absolute worst schoolI have ever encountered. Unmotivated, lazy, direspectful teachers and staff. They know nothing about district rules and regulations and chalk their lack of competency up to no funding and the childrens fault. The majority of staff doesnt even like kids! There are no programs. The office staff are all rude and the principals allow it and are the same. They hate parents who are involved with their children and target them. The VP dances inappropriately and sings Lil Wayne and Drake music and flirts with male staff while the chidren are in class being mistreated. THIS SCHOOL SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR ITS BEHAVIOR AND MEDIOCRETY!

Absolutely mediocre school. No GT program kids are force to stay behind with the rest of the class, stressful enviroment, horrible office staff, teachers always in a bad mood and the teaching isso behind. The kids NEVER get recess, Music teacher is the most horrible person, all the kids we know hate music class and most of them are scared of the P.E coach. Lots of racism, they also play competely unapropiate music in GYM and little girls are encourage to dance unapropiately. I had to move my kids and ooooohhh what a diference, now they have awesome grades, they learn something new and good everyday, teachers are nice and you can tell they love to teach. David K sellars should be carefully watch, kids go lots of potencial can be ruined there for life, is a shame.

Both my niece and nephew attend David K. Sellars and they have excellent activities that allow for family to attend.
