Whispering Oak Elementary School
I have bee frustrated this week at the poor communication re: the varying pick up and drop off times for students. Moreover, the customer service from some of the workers has not been steller. My child does love his teacher and has had a good experience during this first week. I've heard good things about the school from friends and neighbors so I'm going to assume my miscommunications are a mishap and will resolve quickly.

Whispering Oak Elementary School
The teachers at this school for the most part do their best to teach and educate the students. As with all government based entities there are some who have no business teaching and are simply collecting a paycheck until they retire. On the other hand the administration is useless. The administrative system at the school is bloated with those who do absolutely nothing to further the education of the students. The school would be better served by eliminating many of these useless positions anfd hiring more teachers. Many in the front office (not support personnel) are simply there to get a paycheck and have no business in education.
