Babies crying all day is not normal. ACM has natural lighting. They spend a lot of time outside with all ages. They hold and comfort our 9-month-old baby. He has no trouble sleeping at ACM. The guides seem to love the children. Our baby has really started talking and eating more. He is much happier now that he is at ACM! As our the parents! We have learned to trust our intuition and it is all good at Austin Children's Montessori!

The final straw for us was when she told me, a first-time mom who at the time didn't know any better, that my 3 year old had caused 2 teachers to leave ACM, including one who left the profession. Really? A 3 year old caused a teacher to leave the profession? What kind of ECD professional says something like that to a parent. And other parents had similar experiences at the time. My son went on to be beloved by the teachers of our next school who supported him to the point where he is recognized as a model student now in elementary school. Ms. T is a bully. Don't let her make you question what you know deep down to be right and wrong. I've noticed that many of the negative reviews have been removed. Not sure if it's an algorithm or what but if you are a new parent considering send you your kid here just know that.

    J Frank Dobie Junior High School - My snowflake

    After a full year of bullying (constantly being called names and put down, even by so-called…read more"friends") and problems, including my daughter getting hit in the head while she was taking a test, so hard that she saw double, because the kids were throwing paper balls around the room, sliding off desks, bouncing the balls off the teachers' desk, (one of them jumped up to catch the ball and as he came down his elbow clocked her hard on the top of her head) while the teacher was on her phone allowing all of it to go on.... I decided to pull out my daughter and put her at Legacy Traditional School instead. Another time, some bullies encouraged a special needs kid to wet his hand and slap her on the back of the neck during art class. She told me there were rumors of weapons being brought to school (one time a gun, another time a knife). She told me there was graffiti all over the bathroom stalls, the hallway floors and walls, and the classroom desks. Kids looked at inappropriate pictures during class, broke out into physical fights often, and were so mean to teachers they made them cry on a regular basis. In spite of sending police to inspect backpacks, and having the principal in the classroom these problems continued. It's utterly out of control and dangerous. She said most of her teachers were nice to her, which is why it gets 2 stars instead of 1. She was in the district all the way through from Green Valley, to Schlather, (love both of those schools!) but after 1 year of Dobie, I was done. I shouldn't have even let her stay that full year. I was so happy when it was voted on to allow for charter schools (Legacy to the rescue!!). I'm not saying Legacy is perfect, but it's 1,000 times better than Dobie hands down. No bullying (students are MUCH better behaved), no graffiti, teachers are nice and approachable, work load is reasonable, the principal is involved in EVERYTHING, which is awesome! There are tons of fun family events. The food is so much healthier (No artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, etc.) One downside: no changing rooms for the gym, bathrooms only, which is difficult, but that became irrelevant toward the end of the year as they aren't required to dress out anymore. Since Legacy only goes through 8th grade, she'll be going back to the district next year to Steele HS. My oldest daughter went to Steele, and my son goes there now. It seems to be mostly a good school, so only Dobie is terrible. The rest of the district (SCUCISD) seems pretty good.

    Great Hearts Live Oak - The pothole of death to shocks and suspensions.  It never dies, comes back

    Great Hearts Live Oak

    I wanted to take a moment to share an updated perspective on Great Hearts Live Oak. Over time, I've…read morecome to appreciate just how dedicated the staff is. They continue to be supportive, professional, and always willing to communicate with parents. Whether it's through phone calls, emails, or text messages, they make an effort to keep families informed, which is something I really value. The curriculum remains challenging and encourages students to think critically. While there are still some concerns about the lack of specific cultural observances, I do see that the school focuses on deeper discussions about historical events rather than just surface-level recognition. I can respect that approach, even if it's different from what some might expect. One issue that still comes up a lot is the car line. The construction in the area has settled down a bit, but now there's a new challenge--sharing the road with other businesses. It definitely adds another layer of congestion, but I think it's important to acknowledge that a lot of the frustration comes from how we, as parents, handle the process. There are still too many instances of people not paying attention, blocking driveways, or leaving huge gaps in the line, which just makes things worse. If everyone followed the guidelines, it would probably run a lot smoother. The school is still a charter, which means funding is always a challenge. It runs largely on donations and tuition, but not every family contributes equally, which puts extra strain on resources. At the same time, the staff is stretched thin, and I know that makes classroom management tough. It's understandable that some behavior issues might be handled more strictly just because teachers have so much on their plates. One thing I've been thinking about lately is how easy it is for us as parents to rate and critique a school, but I wonder how the school would rate us. A child's education isn't a one-way street where only the school has to be accountable--parents play just as big of a role in making sure their child succeeds. Whether it's supporting teachers, reinforcing expectations at home, or just being mindful of how we contribute to the school community, it's something to consider. Overall, my experience with Great Hearts Live Oak has been positive, even with the challenges. No school is perfect, but I do see the effort they put in, and that matters. I just hope that as a community, we can all recognize that education is a shared responsibility, not just something for the school to carry on its own.

    Our experience at Great Hearts has been extremely disappointing, especially regarding how my son…read morewas treated and supported. Despite having an IEP in place, the school consistently failed to follow it or provide the accommodations he needed to succeed. The lack of communication and accountability from certain teachers was alarming. Instead of feeling encouraged, my son became increasingly discouraged and dreaded going to school -- something no child should ever feel. There was little to no positive feedback or emotional support offered, and the overall attitude toward his well-being seemed indifferent at best. As a parent, it was heartbreaking to watch his confidence decline in an environment that is supposed to nurture learning and growth. Thankfully, we were able to move him to a school that values kindness, inclusion, and support -- and the difference has been night and day. I sincerely hope Great Hearts leadership takes this feedback seriously and makes meaningful changes to ensure no other child has to go through a similar experience.
