Start with the administration that will "hear" your voice but they don't listen. They push subjects down to young people who are not ready for the content either morally, emotionally and intellectually. The subjects are mandated by a panel disconnected from the schools and students. Administrators don't have any reason to change the curriculum as all they care about are rankings and money. They have instructors that don't understand their students. They mandate AP subjects to 14 year old ninth graders as if they are 19 and 20 year old college individuals, you cannot choose otherwise and the head of school does nothing! ..

I was like the nerve of this man. My kids' academic advisor didn't seem very professional. She did not introduce herself or shake my hand, was not friendly. I am a clean cut guy, slacks and dress shirt, upper middle class, so I don't know who she thought she was. Other than the first day the school seems to be okay. My daughter actually loves school now. She seems to be hanging around good friends and her grades are up. The email exchanges I had with her teachers seem to be positive. I was told by people in the community that this high school has less trouble with troubled students. Less drugs and other things that may not be lawful. The students that I observe seem to be good kids. Marshall definitely seems like a good high school to this point.

Castle Hills is a part of our DNA. The superintendent is a man with more enthusiasm, dedication, compassion and commitment to student and family success than anyone I've ever known. Teachers are dedicated. The curriculum is challenging and the family-like environment fosters life-long friends and memories. I should know, I graduated from Castle Hills in 1992 and still have the same best friends from those days. If you want your child to know they are loved by Jesus and are more than just a face in the crowd, try The Christian School at Castle Hills.

As a 52 year old man, I have recently discovered that their assistant principle is Trudy Elmer. She…read moreis a child abuser and has no business work with or around children. If you are considering this school, be warned that it is run by a woman who has committed long term violent child abuse on many children, myself included when I was under her watch. I will give context below. I was enrolled at Believers academy in the 1980s at which Trudy was the 7th-12th grade english teacher. During my 3 years at that school, Trudy committed acts of violence on me and others so many times that I can not honestly give an accurate number, but I would say its a safe bet that she beat me personally (or by proxy having another teacher do it because she felt like it didnt hurt me enough for her tastes) at least 50-100 times over the course of my enrollment in that school. Let me start by saying I am Christian, and I do believe there is a place for corporal punishment in child raising. But this schools entire staff used wooden paddles (which Trudy and one of her proxies literally broke over me at least twice) and used extreme force and phisical violence for any infraction no matter how small. To give a few examples, the very first time she bent me over and beat me was because at lunch time I was talking to the children seated next to me before I had completed eating my entire lunch. I remember it vividly. I didnt want to eat some part of it and was done as far as I was concerned, but Trudy did not care for that for whatever reason, and she took me in a small back room which was literally too small to hold classes in, and was the dedicated spanking room in that building. and she teed off on me like no one had ever done before. I remember looking back at her while she was doing it and seeing her wind up like a baseball pithcher and swinging for the fences. Other reasons She would beat me included forgetting to turn in a daily assignment, or for talking in class, not having some piece of school supplies (pencils notebook, or forgetting a book at home) Any comment that she didnt approve of was met with violence, and this woman clearly delighted in these beatings. At one point she broke her paddle on me, and made me wait in that room while she went and found another one. I was hyperactive and at that age I wasnt able to follow the structure of the school as well as others, so after she realized her beatings didnt fix me, she made the assumption that she just wasnt hitting me hard enough, so she recruited a male staff member to beat me for her while she watched from that point on. there was at least one other time that person brok e a paddle on me while acting as her proxy as well. Trudy was constantly on watch for any slip up of any kind, and during my 8th grade year I recall a chunk of time where she or some man at her direction hit me every single day for several weeks. I was Traumatized by that school in general, but primarily by her beating so much so that I am still suffering with significant trauma related issues over it. That school (believers academy) was very heavy handed with child beating, but Trudy was by far the worst offender. After suffering at her hands for several years, I finally was able to convince my parents to send me to another school, but the scars from being so horribly abused by this woman have never fully healed. Using the name of God to abuse 12 and 13 year old children is the absolute height of despicable behavior, both for the children she abused, AND for the reputation of any school that would allow such a person to continue to work with children. I know there are others who suffered the same or similar abuse from her, but to be fair an honest I dont know if Castle Hills School is aware of her behavior. After nearly 40 years of holding this pain and anger at being so taken advantage of and abused by this woman, I decided to call her out for it about a year ago via messaging her on facebook. she immediately blocked me wihtout so much as a response, so I do not believe that the time since has changed her enough to repent for her cruel and malicious behavior. PLEASE do not send your children to this school unless Trudy Elmer is removed from this place of access and authority over your kids. I am a parent now, and the thought of my son suffering the way I did makes my blood boil. I have held onto my faith in God and my belief in the Bible inspite of her vile behavior, but I can not in good concience allow this woman to continue to hold such a position without warning parents of her abuse. This is not anonymous, my name is Robert Johnson, and I will talk with any staff administration who want more details, but if you are an administrator at this school please look into her past. I am not the only one with stories like this. I believe Castle Hills may be a fine school, but until she is gone, your students are in danger.

Clowvazar Academy has been a true blessing for our family. Our child lives with Anxiety, RAD, ADHD,…read moreand dyslexia, and finding a school that not only understands but embraces these unique needs felt impossible until we found Clowvazar. The staff is incredibly kind, honest, flexible, and consistently supportive. They meet children where they are without judgment or pressure, and they create an environment that fosters both emotional and academic growth. For our child, that made all the difference. She finally felt safe, seen, and capable of thriving. What stood out most was how the school didn't try to "fix" anything, they accepted her and built around their strengths while gently guiding them through challenges. Their patience and communication with us as parents were outstanding. We felt like true partners in their education. Clowvazar Academy deserves all the praise. If your child needs a learning environment that prioritizes compassion and individualized support, this is the place. We are deeply grateful.

They had no business teaching my child in the first place. And the headmaster's approach is a red flag.

Ronal Reagan is certainly one of the more desirable schools in San Antonio, but, if you want to get connected, you'll have to work at it. Good luck!!

Unfortunately, I was now late so I asked for a late slip. I know they could give me one because a whole load of students have come in with them. But, these jerks sad no. Nothing else, just no. I walked out. What the heck? I know it's stupid coming from me, a studen, but I want you to see it in my perspective. I am an all A student, in all honors classes. Not all kids are bad.

After an incident from today with Mr. Yocham discharging one of the best teachers they have and in…read morethe manner he did so in front of all the middle school students, I've had enough. This school was not equipped for online learning nor did the teachers care to make the changes to pay any attention to those students learning online. If I could give no stars I sure would. From the beginning this school has been an issue. From the fact that they test your student at the beginning of the school year after being out for summer and expecting them to be where they were the previous year. Just so they can then separate your student from their grade level and mix them with lower class students. That I find demoralizing to the student and telling them YES you are dumb. When in fact all it is is that "you learn different". Any other school can do a way better job then this school. This is just an over priced school for your child to not grow. No wonder they feel dumb because the school is sticking them with the lower grade level and it's seen. They have no academic plan for your students growth because "every student is different" in other words they will not make that personal plan to help your child grow. If your child is excelling out of the class they're in the school will not say anything. My daughter was so bored in her classes and not challenged enough. I spoke up to the school and they moved her to a higher level class and what would you know she continued to excel in her studies. Your child has a better chance at a public school and getting better help than here at Winston. Your child will not grow at a progressive rate as you will expect to happen. The athletics department is a joke as well so I hope your child is not an athlete. All 3 years that my daughter had to attend here not once did the Volleyball team nor basketball team win a game. The AD Mr. Borth just goes through the motions of what's needed but is also a very rude person. His wife Mrs. Borth told my child along with a group of other girls to get it together because they were upset and she had a tour to give in a few minutes. Yes this happed today 05/19/2022 so again this is not the school you want your child to go too. It's not worth the college tuition they charge along with everything thing else they will charge you. Find you a school that will benefit your child's educational growth. If you can tough it out IDEA is a real good structural school. Even specific private schools around the area. Do your research and don't fall for all the smiles. Ask questions, know who's certified to teach because as you know private school teachers don't have to be certified.
