Congrats River Place Elementary. First year and received Exemplary status. To add to that, all 3 Steiner Ranch Schools received Exemplary ratings as well. This is a pleasure to see because this is not easy, it is hard work, and I commend all Steiner Ranch and and River Place Elementary Students and Parents. Keep it going!

Okay, I should lose at least half my "rep points" for that oversight.

The teachers deserve much credit here as well!

The ones who aren't parents? They get their payoff when they sell their house!

Funny how they forget that come tax time .
It is true that there is a pay off at the end (usually) for living around good schools, I for one chose the area in part because of the schools!

Of course Exemplary really just means that they teach to the TAKS test. IMHO, there is way too much concentration on the test and not on actually education to why and how things work instead of regurgitation.
