My choir was award winning and we were invited to sing all over Texas, and the previous choir before me sang at Carnegie Hall. From an academic standpoint, I was able to take several high school courses like algebra, Spanish 1 and 2, and keyboarding. The teachers were always supportive and really cared about students. One of my only complaints would be administration. The principal is a very fake, disconnected, cold, uncaring being. She doesn't seem to have any sort of regard for student's or teacher's well being. Overall though, I grew a lot at Fulmore, and it enabled me to get in to good high schools like LASA and McCallum. I also met amazing peers.

Learning is the act of acquiring new, or modifying and reinforcing, existing knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences and may involve synthesizing different types of information. To learn you must take action and not be a lazy bum. "People being annoying" is a matter of opinion and I find people who say that are the annoying ones. "From 1881 to the 1930's, we had no particular mascot. We were the "Maroons" because our athletic team "colors" became maroon and white somewhere around 1920. By the 1930s, some Texas high schools decided they needed an animal mascot, but we resisted the trend until 1953 when two new high schools were formed in Austin. The students of the new schools chose to be the "Knights" and the "Rebels". Some began to ask "What's a Maroon"? To answer that question, then and now, we just tell them that a "Maroon" is someone who wears maroon and boosts Austin High. The first published cartoon featuring the modern mascot was in the September 20, 1957 Austin Maroon Newspaper, where the Mascot (about 1.3 meters tall and hairy) is attacking the football mascot of one foe or another. We think the artist/creator/ "father" of the mascot was Gilbert Reyes, a 1959 graduate of the school. Maroo appeared as an engraved "cut" in the September 28, 1956, and January 30, 1957 newspapers as part of a feature story about "picking a mascot". Artist Windy Winn is also mentioned as involved in the development of our cartoon mascot. Everyone draws Mister Maroo their own way. That's the way we get so many designs. Each of us has our favorites. The school Archives has a collection of more than 100 different versions. But, essentially, the Mascot is supposed to be the "embodiment of the Maroon Spirit". The "Mister Maroo" Mascot was officially adopted by the Student Council in 1965-66 during the administration of President Grady Rylander. Mr. Maroo is a symbol. He doesn't speak - you have to look him in the eye to see if he's your friend or your foe. He often is drawn wearing Adidas or Nike tennis shoes. And the beanie...beanies at one time were the traditional headwear for a freshman. Since Maroo never goes to class, he's still a freshman, more than 50 years later." http://austin.austinschools.org/our-school/history

My shy and nervous child thrived her kinder year. The teachers know all the students and care about teaching and nurturing the whole child. The small class sizes give students extra instructional attention. This year, every single child has FREE access to breakfast and lunch. The children love the vegetable and butterfly gardens. The art and music classes are superb. I'm impressed that Spanish is a class for all elementary school students. Another thing I love about the school is that they care just as much about social-emotional learning and good citizenship as academics. They have vertical "houses" (like in Harry Potter). Students earn points for their house by showing good citizenship, and they do house challenges which bonds the students in different grades. They always seem to be going above and beyond to serve the students from great field trips to an international curriculum. We are so happy we found Cedars.

I am very bothered with the lack of professionalism by the principal! I have left many messages for her, very important messages and not once did she return my calls. My child was getting bullied at this school! I left a message waited 2 days and left another, no response. Then I had another issue with my kid and I have been waiting and she has not returned my call. I will remove my kid from this school soon. Besides the fact that the principal is unprofessional, the school has a great curriculum. My child is doing great in school, it is a small school and the traffic is pretty congested at pick up and drop off. Other than that its a good school.

Our 2 year old son has spent the last year in Ms. Lauren and Ms. Julie's toddler class at St…read more David's, and we have been thrilled with our experience there. As a first time mom with a premature baby born during the COVID pandemic, I was very nervous to send him to school for the first time, and visited many daycares before choosing St. David's. It was very clear to me from the first visit to their welcoming classrooms that they are completely committed to the well-being of their students. For instance, despite the inconvenience, they all masked during the pandemic (many daycares did not) before vaccines were available to young children to protect the students, and they offer a remarkably low student-teacher ratio (a huge, huge plus that means that our son gets more individualized attention). When choosing a school, I wanted to make sure the St. David's facility was safe since it is in downtown Austin, and Head of School Ms. Kate talked to me extensively about my concerns and comprehensively answered every single one of my questions. I truly appreciated the time and effort she spent talking with me about this issue, and it was also clear to me that St. David's has gone above and beyond to create a completely safe and secure environment for their students, which laid my fears fully to rest. Throughout the year, Ms. Kate has been completely accessible to us whenever we had any questions, and she and our son's teachers have truly cared for us as a family. When our daughter was born in the middle of the school year, we asked if we could pay for our son (who was attending half day at the time) to attend one day full day to bridge a childcare gap when I had to stay in the hospital an extra day, and Ms. Kate and our son's teachers instead invited our son to attend full day for the whole week at no charge to us (!!!) which helped us SO much as we adjusted to our new arrival, and Ms. Lauren and Ms. Julie helped my son create a welcome home gift for our daughter! My husband and I were incredibly touched by their kindness and generosity for our growing family! The entire staff at St. David's, from the front desk staff to the building and maintenance workers, all know our son's name and say hi to him. They have all been incredibly helpful and kind to us as I was doing drop off and pick ups while increasingly pregnant throughout the year and then with a new baby in tow. We have also been so thankful for and impressed by his teachers Ms. Lauren and Ms. Julie! Our son loves them and they are in constant communication with us to let us know how he is doing--I feel confident that he is truly loved and nurtured while in their care. Both teachers gave him sweet individualized presents on his birthday, which touched our hearts so much--he loved them as they knew exactly what he would like!! Ms. Lauren always takes the time to talk to me during drop-off and lets me know about new things our son has been doing--new words he has been working on, fun or funny things that happened during the day, etc, things we can work on at home, etc. She even took the time to personally text me a sweet video of our son hugging another child, which meant so much to me! They also made lunch for him when I forgot his lunch at home one day so that I wouldn't have to drive all the way back with a new baby in tow. Our son's language development, which was a concern for us when he started school, has really taken off while in their class, and his socialization has greatly improved. Ms. Kate, Ms. Lauren, Ms. Julie, and the rest of the staff at St. David's truly feel like family to us, and we couldn't recommend them more highly.
