About this business

White Rock North School opened in 1964 and graduated 12 students its first year. Through the years, White Rock North has expanded one small project at a time. As one of their early projects, for example, Mr. and Mrs. Adams decided that a horse would be a great addition to their school concept. The students have enjoyed petting and caring for the school’s horse ever since! A swimming pool was one of their next projects and, slowly, they saved enough funds to build a large pool on the school grounds. Parents have found that the swimming lessons offered by the school, on-site, are convenient and a great supplement to White Rock North’s physical education program.

As White Rock North continued to grow during the 1970s, the school added a skating rink in 1978. Students continue to skate as part of White Rock North’s physical education program. The spacious rink is also used as a gymnasium and is the location for various pageants and programs held throughout the year.
With so much progress being made in the community, an arson fire in 1979 was not something Mr. and Mrs. Adams ever anticipated. During that event, the original school building was lost. Mr. and Mrs. Adams soon began rebuilding by constructing what is now known as the main building.

Mr. and Mrs. Adams’ own daughter, Amy, attended White Rock North during the early years. In 1993, Amy joined the school ranks as an administrator. Early in 1995, Amy began the process to earn accreditation for the school. This desire promoted another step of growth, and, in 1996, White Rock North was recognized by the Texas Education Agency (T.E.A.) and received its first accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools (S.A.C.S.).

White Rock North continued to expand after receiving its accreditation. Mr. and Mrs. Adams began building a new wing, strictly for kindergarten through sixth grade. This project took a year-and-a-half to complete, and the new addition opened in 1998.

Over the next several years, Mr. and Mrs. Adams noticed that visits from new mothers were becoming more frequent. They began conceptualizing an infant program to serve the needs of the many young families in the area. The “Corner Cottage Infant Center” opened in 2003 and has earned much praise from parents.

White Rock North School has proudly educated thousands of children since it opened. Many of these children have enrolled their own children in White Rock North School. Amy Adams is both excited and gratified to know that so many prior students want to give their children the unique experiences they themselves had as students at White Rock North School.

Very Low Standards by Chris H via Insider Pages on 8/25/2011

Both of our children went to White Rock North School for years. The facilities are good and most teachers are great. The administration and specifically the dirctor, Ms. Keeling, however have been a constant source of frustration. We have…

Warning do not send your Child unless you want them hurt and you sued by John G via Insider Pages on 6/10/2009

We had our three year old son enrolled from 2008 till May of 2009. From the very beginning we would receive messages that our son would not listen or wanted to play. We spoke to the administration and they said we our son was rude and he…

School Holds Promise...Needs Improvement by Adele C via Insider Pages on 4/30/2009

As an active parent in my children's lives, the White Rock North School teachers are challenged with limited resources but live up to the challenge of providing the best classroom learning environment. Recently my husband and I learned…

Variety keeps my child engaged by Kathy L via Insider Pages on 10/23/2008

My daughter has been going to this school for a little over a year and has enjoyed the variety of activities. She had gone to a Primrose School before, which she loved, but would quickly get bored in class because they spent 90% of their…

Pre-School seems very good by Adrianne M via Insider Pages on 9/4/2007

Our daughter has been going there since she turned 1 and I wish I had my son go there for preschool as well, as my daughter has learned a tremendous amount and will no doubt be WAY ahead of where her brother was when he entered…

Disappointed by jones c via Insider Pages on 9/4/2007

We are very disappointed with this school. We would move our two children but we have no option at this time of the year. The management decided not to negotiate the contract of the excellent head of the grade school and we see the school…

Focused on profit by tony w via Insider Pages on 8/23/2007

White Rock North is a business - they are focused on making money and making a profit. The Adams family founded the school and therefore profits from their students. They like to advertise that they have cameras in the classrooms, a…

It's an average school at best by Pat G via Insider Pages on 8/21/2007

The school touts its family business and 40+ year history, but really the administration is uninspiring and has great difficulty paying and keeping great teaching talent. It's not the "quaint" side of a family business; it's the scary…

Great School and Teachers by Jeri B via Insider Pages on 11/5/2005

My son has went to this school since 2nd grade and has learned so much. The classes are small so the children receive more 1 on 1. They do so much with the children. The teachers are absolutely wonderful and you do not need to worry…
