Happy to say that my kids are no longer attending there. The front ladies are rude and they do not care about the parent's opinion. They will hardly ever answer your questions. I still remember when Ms. Puente was there, it was very different. The most caring person left and everything went downhill after that. This is my kid's 2nd year at Park Place and they love it. Teachers care about your kid's success and they have great personnel at this school, while I couldn't say the same about Patterson.

Over the last years, there has been a decline in the professionalism showed by teachers and staff. People at the front desk and those in office positions are rude, careless, and only seem to be there for a paycheck. Unfortunately, people hold those positions without acknowledging the responsibility and effort it takes to run such a school. I am glad this year, in May, my daughter graduated and will no longer have to see them again.

Great school, teachers are great in communication. My kids have greatly improved in their knowledge on all core subjects.

Principal is awesome, always around. Very capable of running this school since he has experience and it's not his first. Teachers are so dedicated and involved with all the programs and events they hold. They have so many functions for families to get involved. On top of all that the students truly learn. Objectives are always clear to them. I can ask my daughter what she learned and she tells me the TEKS that were covered that day. As a plus, where else can you find a pre-k students who's are reading both in English and Spanish?

Wonderful school if you have a special needs child. The new teacher they have there is just wonderful and caring.

As an employee this campus has become a safe non toxic work environment!!! The children are now getting the education they need by well treated teachers. The principal is an amazing school leader. He is very professional and always makes himself visible and available to the parents and students.

Esta escuela es HORRIBLE. Las necesidades de los estudiantes es lo menos importante para el director Gonzalez que nunca esta en la escuela. Busque otra escuela mejor, porque aquí lo único que le importa al director es su título. Este señor no está capacitado para ser el líder de esta escuela.

Bad place to send your kids. All they care about is getting good scores so they look good. They could care less if children are taken care of or happy. Teachers yell at kids and the principal backs them up because all he wants it to be liked. He does not care about doing the right thing. Take your kids somewhere else. This place is TOXIC and BROKEN.

I would not recommend working at this school. Leadership is in the process of being replaced. Teacher turn over is high...that says it all!!!

Agree with the other parent. Beautiful school but has VERY high teacher turnover due to a VERY bad principal there. She treats teachers very bad and retaliates when they speak up.

Beautiful building with poor leadership. There is a high turn over on teachers. Many teachers leave at the end of the school year but some leave during the school year. This leaves the students to suffer until a new teacher is put in the classroom. Teachers and staff are friendly. Discipline is also an area of concern.

I attended this school from 87 to 89. Best school experience ever! Wish i could find some of my old friends and teachers from my time there! Mrs. Webber and Mr. Thornhill were my favorite teachers.
