What school district is Scurlock Elementary School part of?
We have been with this school since Kindergarten. We LOVE it! The teachers do so much more at this school for the children than at the schools in the district that are labeled as the top schools here. Those schools get most of the funding and have more money to put into their equipment and classrooms. But this money can't buy dedicated teachers that do their best for each child. You will find these teachers at Scurlock. While we hear from those schools about drama in their classes with the parents, with the teachers, here there is barely ever drama. One reason why some scores are lower than others is because there is a lot of diversity and there are students that just started learning the English language. These are welcomed with open arms and of what I have seen got a lot of help to get adjusted and they picked up quickly. Thank You Scurlock Staff for all the great work you are doing. Keep it up!
