Been attending CSES for 3 years. Excellent teachers every year.

We have had a wonderful experience, a Clear Spring. The staff are always warm and welcoming.

Horrible, the pick up is poorly organized. They could stagger release time by 30 mins letting the PK and Kindergarten classes go earlier to free up room for the older kids. Making pick up efficient and effective. They also have verbally abusive teachers who have been caught by multiple parents yelling in the face of students, some kids are the age of 5 yes old and during the first week of school.

This is my daughter’s first year of school & we have been nothing less than absolutely pleased with our experience. There are tons of parent/family involved activities happening almost every month. We are in constant communication with her teacher & enjoy receiving regular updates on what the class is doing. She has made tremendous progress & I am grateful for such a wonderful foundation she now has for her academic future.

My student has focus issues and last year he would come home begging not to go back. A certain teacher had the unfortunate habit of yelling at him, degrading his self worth and making him miserable. Now I know children can be a handful, but that is no excuse to make a 9yr old feel worthless. He wanted to be home schooled. After talking it out he reluctantly agreed to give it another try.

Little parent involvement, rude teachers, lack of PTA support, minimal consequences for bully type behavior. Not impressed.

Was told by a campus teacher (who is also a friend) that the principal along with a campus specialist where openly talking negatively about my child in front of my child! When are teachers and principals held accountable for bullying?

Most unprofessional school leader I've ever worked for! Gossips about teachers, students, parents. Plays favorites amongst staff. Left and won't ever look back!

My children attended another school in Comal ISD before moving here. I am horribly disappointed in this school and regret leaving the other. There is a lack of parent involvement activites. At our other school, there were "holiday" parties, grandparent luncheons, father luncheons, and activities to get kids excited about school! I understand that school is for learning, but this school is so stale! That is probably the reason there is such a lack of parent participation. The principal comes across very condescending and most of the teachers are very cut and dry, almost lacking personality. The only saving grace is their asst. pricipal, who puts some life into the place!
