Summary

Club Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Garland, Texas, serving 271 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Garland Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Club Hill Elementary faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges. The school has a higher percentage of Hispanic (61.25%) and African American (22.14%) students compared to the state average, and a lower percentage of White students (8.86%). Academically, Club Hill consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with student performance on STAAR assessments well below district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 35.56% of 3rd graders, 47.46% of 4th graders, and 41.18% of 5th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to district averages of 49.39%, 52.52%, and 55.97%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in STAAR Mathematics, with only 22.41% of 3rd graders, 18.31% of 4th graders, and 27.59% of 5th graders achieving proficiency or better, compared to district averages of 40.69%, 47.48%, and 51.96%. Additionally, over 88% of Club Hill's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Nearby Kimberlin Academy For Excel and Hillside Academy For Excel, both public magnet schools, significantly outperform Club Hill Elementary on academic measures. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Kimberlin Academy for Excel had 87.36% of 3rd graders, 90.7% of 4th graders, and 91.01% of 5th graders achieve proficiency or better in STAAR Reading, compared to Club Hill's much lower performance. The challenges faced by Club Hill Elementary may also extend to the younger grades, as the school is located directly adjacent to the newer Club Hill STEM Elementary, which serves grades PK-2 and appears to have a similar demographic profile and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

As a student I can personally say this school was indeed the best school ever. The teachers had heart and wanted to help students. I left the school for better oppurtunities but the schools I went to had no love for their student. Every school even though a better area had nothing compared to this school. I will cherish the great memories here and hope many other students will begin to do the same. Close Quote

We are a family that has been active in Club Hill for the past 9 years. We put our oldest daughter in the school when we first moved into the neighborhood because we knew people that worked there and it felt like the thing to do. It turns out that those people no longer work there and we have seen teachers, administrators and students come & go, but we have stayed, even enrolling another child along the way. Obviously with each change in personnel it is to be expected that one would have reservation with regards to the "changing of the guard." We have never been disappointed with the direction of the school. It is friendly, warm & welcoming. My children love their teachers and the staff. In response to the review left regarding the lack of love, I have this to say. If you have never worked in a school it might be easy to judge how harsh or "non-loving" it may seem at times, but having have worked in a school environment I can tell you that there is a lot of love that goes into the work day for the teachers and staff. They certainly didn't get in the field of education for the money. Club Hill has many loving, caring & concerned employees. I leave my child in good hands each school day & I find great comfort in that. Close Quote

You can have all the college degrees that would legally qualify you to be a teacher or a principle or even a counselor but without LOVE and COMPASSION for the well being of little children, as a whole, in mind and spirit, being sure that every child is comfortable in their surroundings, to feel safe with their teachers as they would feel safe in their homes and feel welcomed and not a daily burden, without these special qualities that makes a teacher a truly good teacher, your college degrees are irrelevant. This school lacks love! This school lacks love and compassion and the heart that is needed to create well rounded little human beings. This school lacks 'positive' in their word usage and actions toward these kids. This school does NOT practice non-threatening tactics. All verbal usage is negative, threatening and intimidating, almost legal bullying toward the little ones who have no choice 'by law' but to put up with it day in and day out all year long. Meanwhile, while the children learn to read and write, which is what these professionals are 'legally' getting paid for, the children's self esteem and confidence is being diminished and rapidly. These professionals work by 'the book' alone, and have no inclination or interest that every child has their own learning style and their own personal personalities. They are treated the same, like robots and must conform to this loveless style education or be considered defiant and rebellious. Close Quote
