Davila Elementary School 7610 Dahlia Street, Houston, TX 77012

"I went to that school I’ve had many fun memories with my friends and teachers"

"Unless you are hispanic this is a horrible school! I am EXTREMELY disappointed that a child attending an American school is failing because she doesn't know Spanish. The dual language program is basically intended to only benefit children who already know Spanish when I thought they were supposed to be teaching it. She has never heard Spanish in her life and now she is failing and loosing all confidence in herself because she is an outsider in her own country. They don't teach it to her she just gets thrown in and is expected perform at the level of kids who are growing up in Spanish homes. They say she will catch on but until then she has to get a 0% on every 15 word spelling test in Spanish when no one even taught her the Spanish alphabet or their sounds etc. Then for the English 15 words they have extremely simple words such as dog, fog, box, basically stuff they learned in kindergarten so when she does go back to a normal school she will be behind. I do not recommend this school to anyone and I am thankful to be moving soon so my child can go back to a school where she won't be the only English speaking child in the entire school. Not to mention at a parent meeting I had to have a translator sit with me to say everything in English. I felt how my daughter felt everyday. These kids come from spanish homes so this is not a good school unless you are from Mexico. Even I had to have a translator sit with me during a parent meeting. They don't even send notes or anything in English. They are not diverse at all. You're better off moving to Mexico."

"This was my elementary school back in I think 95, I loved our teacher Ms. Barrera, she was so nice, Ms. Arellano was a teacher full of energy, and Mr. Perez was so fine, lol,"
