I moved my little guy here in the middle of the spring semester because I wanted him to be in a…read moregentler environment, one that was holistic to his being, and also a place that really appreciates the outdoors and caters to that. My child has really grown in his language skills (he came from a Spanish immersion school where he really was learning a lot of Spanish, but he was also missing a lot of English). The best part is that while there isn't anything formal about the pre K class as there shouldn't be anyway for this age, he has retained everything he learned from his two prior schools which means the school is still integrating that learning somehow. He loves being able to take off his shoes in the classroom and that it feels like home. He comes home singing the meal time song (he's been there less than two weeks). He's proud of the work he does there and asks us to hang it up. If we didn't have to move schools for other reasons I would keep him there as long as I could because my three year old who was partially potty trained (just urine) has become fully potty trained after two weeks there. I think a lot of the influence is that the school goes up to the 6th grade so seeing and being around older kids who are leaders has really encouraged him to feel like he is going to a big kids school too. We absolutely love this school and the people there.

Full disclosure, my child has been interviewing here. We've got some specific needs that weren't…read morebeing met at the crummy local elementary school (no stars, HISD) and so we went on the hunt. A certain snotty school pretty much passed on us because of my child's needs and I was forced to accept that we might need a "special" school. Sad and nervous, I set up an appointment for a parent tour the next day. Whether we get in or not, I can honestly give them five stars for the work they are doing. Where we've never felt like we fit in, there was a school where we could. This school is K-8 and just off of Montrose at Chelsea. Their goal appears to be to give children the ability to learn and develop skills in a safe environment with the intention of getting the kids back mainstreamed. It was crystal clear immediately that these people have the best intentions and the knowledge to fulfill those intentions well. This place is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but it is clear where the tuition goes. The ratio of teachers to kids is incredibly low and the children and staff alike seem happy. Ah, I forgot what that looked like. Best of all, the school was filled with kids just like mine. He was very relieved to finally be in the class and not stick out like a sore thumb. I don't know whether we'll be here in the fall, but I would highly recommend Joy to any parent whose child's needs aren't being met in a classroom setting due to ADHD, Tourettes, Autimism or the like.

This is the closest elementary school to me. They have 6 basketball goals. Two 10 feet goals that…read moreyou can play full court. There are also 4 smaller goals around 8 and a half feet. The goals are covered so it helps with the hot summer sun. There is full playground equipment for the kids, soccer goals, and a mini running trail. I come here pretty often just to shoot around. On Sundays, there's a group of adults that play here after church. The competition isn't great but a nice bunch and always welcoming.
