    We absolutely loved Challenger! The administrators and teachers are kind and personable. They make…read morea point of knowing every student's name and greet them warmly every day. The school also has safety measures in place, including security personnel, which gives us peace of mind. That said, Challenger may not be the right fit for every child--it's not a school that focuses heavily on emotional expression or creativity. However, if you're looking for a place that emphasizes traditional values, discipline, and a strong academic foundation, Challenger is the perfect choice. The curriculum is advanced, covering everything from good penmanship at a young age to public speaking. It's wonderful for gifted learners. What sets Challenger apart is how it teaches children accountability, discipline, and excellence while still offering fun activities like cooking classes, Spanish lessons, and chess club. My daughter attended Challenger from kindergarten through the first half of second grade (we've since moved out of state and haven't been able to find anything comparable). The academic foundation she received there is evident--she's ahead of her grade level and carries herself with a maturity that reflects the school's influence. We are so grateful for the experience and feel Challenger has truly set her up for success.

Teachers keep changing and some don't teach properly... Totally disappointing... zero recommendation for this school .. no worth for money... too much pressure on the students.... :(

    As a current senior at savio is can say the atmosphere is definitely toxic. But that's not the full…read morestory. I've seen all the reviews here and can tell what they're talking about, and frankly, they're very exaggerated. Someone talked about underrepresentation which i agree with, but has nothing to do with race or origin. I feel severely under represented as a student, but this is because there's a group of popular kids with white and mexican kids that dominate this, which is not related to race. I also saw the review talking about the two administration peoples,and i agree to a WAY lesser extent: They may have been incompetent, but in now way did they severely affect the savio environment in such a way. I truly know one of the people they're taking about and they tried their best, even if students didn't feel it worked. About what's actually "toxic", are the students themselves. The teachers enable the popular kids and their spoiled entitlement and lack of spiritual education in which these kids blatantly gossip and disrespect other nice teachers. They shun those who are themselves and like joking around when they very well do the same. About savio's work load, it's very difficult, especially junior year, but after all no one is forcing us to pay to o there every year, it's college preparatory after all. I do agree that savio underpays their staff, but they're not exactly government funded, when staff sign up, they know their salary. Lastly, for my real opinion on Savio: It's not very catholic, and lacks a spiritual aspect. Go to a cheaper catholic school like San Juan Diego and find a more friendly student environment.

    After much searching, interviewing and site visits we have enrolled our daughter in this preschool…read moreand are quite happy with our decision. Our daughter was previously at an all play based preschool where she would have very little structure. We wanted to find a school that not only promoted more learning but also promoted learning through play, dance and song. We found that Challenger offered that. We have always shared creative learning with our child and wanted to make sure that she had all options available to her. There are some comments on here about diversity, but this is one of the most diverse Challenger campuses. Also, Challenger is now offering a referral tuition discount program for 2017-2018 year. If you are interested in this program, please contact me so we can both have the two-way 15% referral tuition discount every month throughout the academic year! If you use me as a referral for the 2017-2018 year. Message me for details.

    Reed Elementary is a truly special school…read more We discovered the school because of the Gómez & Gómez Dual Language program and the more we learned about Reed the more we liked it. The campus is well-maintained and beautiful (with a yard full of bluebonnets!) The student population is wonderfully diverse. The talented and caring staff and leadership are the best anyone could hope for. We moved and built a new home specifically to be in the zone for Reed. Our daughter's kindergarten experience was absolutely awesome, and the teachers made an incredibly good first impression on our entire family. We were all amazed by how quickly the kids picked up a second language and were able to jump right into conversation with others at the playground. We had unexpectedly opened up our daughter to a new world of cultural experiences, and more importantly, great friends. This early experience set the stage for many good things to follow. The other subjects are taught just as effectively as Language Arts. Math and Science are delivered in an interesting and fast-paced way that really clicks with our kid and others in her classes. "Specials" are a big highlight. The selection of books in the library, both English and Spanish, is great! The musical and dance opportunities in Performing Arts are amazing, from concerts throughout the school year to unique events like a special performance at the State Capital. The fundamentals that the kids are taught in Visual Arts provide an excellent foundation for future growth in drawing, painting, and understanding of color. The art projects our daughter brings home, and more importantly, creates completely on her own while AT home using her new and improving skills, are wildly impressive. Physical Education is also a favorite, with exposure to activities and sports that would have blown me away as a kid. And Running Club!! Everyone LOVES Running Club! After struggling with reading, our daughter was diagnosed with Dyslexia and Dysgraphia. The school provides special accommodations for these challenges. The amazing 504 team has been able to keep her learning along with her classmates and actually enjoying reading and writing, something that never happened for me as a kid. Our child's education is our top priority, and time and time again, we are convinced that we made the right choice with Reed Elementary.

    $20k per year tuition fees with super average curriculum execution…read more As a parent expect to receive multiple extremely long winded emails every day requesting you make/bring something to school - I would count myself as very organized yet found it extremely difficult to keep up with all their requests Unusually high Headmaster attrition - we had 3 different Headmasters in 1 year - not a great sign Worst part of the experience was when we ended up needing to move a new town outside Austin and a new school - when I cancelled (2 months before the beginning of the school year) - IST insisted on not only keeping my deposit (I absolutely understand this) but the tuition fees I paid in advance. The school year wasn't even close to starting! For a not-for-profit this is a fairly shameful business practice and a terrible moral example to our children. After I explained my position to the (at least right now current) head Brian he looked me in the eye and agreed the tuition fee refund I was asking for was fair - to which he then sent an email days later rescinding this and denying me a refund. Shady beyond belief. For these reasons I would not recommend sending your child to IST.

The teachers are engaged and really focus on well rounded goals. We switched mid year from a disappointing experience at public school and can't even compare the two as it's night and day experience. We love the focus on community and that families are so involved and connected. I also love that every single person on campus from teachers to admin know our whole families names and help us feel so welcome and loved. I'm so grateful this curriculum exists and look forward to many wonderful years ahead.

He was scheduled to go to soccer club and when my husband went to pick him up, THEY COULDN'T FIND HIM. No empathy or explanation as to what happened, where he was or what he did for an entire hour. Can you imagine going to pick up your 5 year old son only to be told that they don't know where he is? The office is closed, and not as much as a PHONE CALL or an apology. This school cannot be trusted and every parent should know not to send your child here. The entire school gave off weird vibes from the beginning and I should have absolutely trusted my gut. The staff and the teachers all suck.

Our biggest issue was the classroom size, they don't adhere to the state mandated maximum so they are large and unsafe environment in general. Academically; You can check their curriculum if you request it. It's ok in comparison with most normal public schools but definitely not worthy for us, with the fact mentioned above. Lots of focus on the state mandate tests in order to improve scores to collect more money. Which is also why they have so many kids in each classroom. Our opinion is that the success of the kids at Harmony relies on the parents involvement as the homework are repetitive and are focused on a just a memorize game for the tests not learning. Our experience on first grade was that the kids aren't allowed to ask questions maybe with the fact of the overpopulated classroom. It's definitely not an example of a quality education in our eyes. Also, in two years never experienced the "Stem" program which was the reason we chose the school.
