This school is a gem. The teachers are great, the parents are great, the PTO is great and the support staff is great. My kids love the school. The homework is a good balance. I wouldn’t put my kids anywhere else.

There had never been a negative encounter. We're Asians, new to any schools in USA. We were the minority in Richardson but there was never any discrimination. Teachers, staff, students, parents were always kind. Everyday I walk in to fetch the kids, I feel like I'm walking into a BIG home. Everyone knows everyone. Everyone is smiling. Everyone is patient. Kids were recognised for their good performance academically. And the school singles out kids who show kindness on campus. This school encourages kindness and upholds high quality education for their students.

I love Richardson Elm my oldest went there and my two younger ones are still there. Two of my boy's have ADHD and all of the teachers, resource teachers, OT, SLP, reading lab teachers and Mr. Dunbar, the principal, have been very supportive and work as a team so we can find the best possible plan that will help my child succeed.
