G. H. Whitcomb Elementary School

Posted: April 7, 2026

One of the worst experiences we have ever had. SpEd is completely incompetent. Child's IEP is regularly NOT followed. Teachers are dismissive, rude, and unresponsive to communication. Principal Horner is kind to your face but ineffective. Jennifer Vargas, the Special Education Team Lead, is completely useless. Horrible at her job and does not advocate for your kids or ensure they are getting their needs met. If you can move and go anywhere else you should. This school needs a complete admin and staff overhaul.

My son was in special education from kinder and 1st there in general classroom setting. Putting him in this school was such a horrible experience. I couldn't move him to a school out of zone unless the other school approved and since my son is not average, of course no other school wanted to take him. We were stuck here until I finally had to move homes to get him in a different zone. The people in charge here might act nice to your face but anytime I brought up a problem the principal and assistant principal would get rude and get an attitude. They were not following recommendations of my son's IEP which is sad. They complain about the problems but then don't want to follow the recommendations from his evaluation of things he needed to help him succeed in school. They would lock him up in a room in the office sometimes for hours. All the parents were invited for Thanksgiving lunch, when I got there my son was not with his class, it took me a while to find out he was sitting in a separate desk by himself facing the wall during Thanksgiving lunch and the reason for him being there was ridiculous. They would make him eat lunch in the room in the office by himself, this is a kindergartener. He hated going to school he would cry, it was horrible. He was severely behind and all of his academics. They refuse to think it was a good idea to make a behavior intervention plan even though his behavior was putting them in the office all day and he would not be able to learn like that. Again dealing with the principles was a horrible experience and I am so glad that we are finally in a new school that is actually trying to help him and is catching him up now. If you have an average child this might be an okay school, if your child has any kind of special needs I do not recommend for you to go to the school. Just look at the info it says here on this page and it will show you.

My son was bring bullied Many times and when he did anything to defend himself HE would get in trouble, only him, when in fact he was being bullied. Teacher and principal did not listen to anything he said.

Whitcomb has some teasers that are great and some that are terrible. That equates to average for me. In addition, the principals secretary and office staff were perhaps the most unpleasant I have encountered at an elementary school. Smiling is helpful for children and parents alike. It's good for you! Overall, the school is okay. It isn't great. It isn't terrible.

Whitcomb Elementary is the BEST school in CCISD. It isn't the newest, the fanciest, or the one with the richest families -- but this school employs the most dedicated, hard working, AMAZING staff there ever was! We have been at Whitcomb many years and if I had ANY school to choose for my children to attend, hands down - it would be Whitcomb, without hesitation. Amazing school. Amazing staff.

My kids have gone to Whitcomb for the past 3 years now, and we all love it. The teachers are great and very involved. The Principal, Mr. Smith is such a motivational and great guy who really has a wonderful relationship with the staff and students alike. I would highly recommend Whitcomb to any parent.

G.H is a really great school. The principle, teachers, and staff are super friendly. I especially like Alpha, the 4th, and 5th grade GT program.
