This is a review for the track at the high school. I can't comment on the school, the kids, the…read moreteachers, the buses, the principal or anything else except the track! Which I love! I started running on pavement...didn't know anything different. Didn't realize that running on a track feels so much better on the knees and joints. Plus, it's way easier to do speed work on a track that's already all marked out. The only downsides: there's no water. You HAVE to bring your own hydration. Which really isn't that big of a deal. I mean, what runner doesn't have a camelbak, or a hydration belt, or at least a water bottle? The bigger thing is no bathrooms. I have seen the bathrooms at the track open exactly once, so unless they open them when school starts, do not count on there being anyplace to go! There have been days where there are groups using the track (school athletic groups, I think), so you just have to play nice and give them room. There really is plenty of room, you just have to be aware of what people are doing around you. I love this option to work on my speedwork; it feels better om my legs, plus there's bleachers if you want to incorporate some bleacher work into your running routine as well. Come on out on Tuesdays at 7 pm and see me and my running peeps! We will be there!!

Chinquapin is definitely not for everyone and I believe that is part of what makes it so special…read more This is a school that challenges its students, holds them accountable, and works to develop young people who are confident, responsible, self-sufficient, and prepared to become leaders. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and experience, but I think it is important to look at the full picture before criticizing a school for things such as not having janitorial staff or experiencing maintenance issues. Chinquapin is a nonprofit school that does not receive the same state funding as public schools, and with that naturally come challenges and limited resources. My son began attending Chinquapin in 2024 under the leadership of Ms. Mily Pérez. I cannot speak to what the school may have been like before then, but I can speak to the experience our family has had from 2024 forward and it has been an incredibly positive one. The students at Chinquapin are academically challenged and taught valuable real-life skills. They are expected to take responsibility for themselves and contribute to their school community. They are not babied, but they are supported. This is far from a military-style campus or an alternative school for children with behavioral problems. Chinquapin is filled with bright, driven students, and there are high expectations for both academics and conduct. Misbehavior is taken seriously, and accountability is part of the culture. It sometimes feels as though educators cannot win. If they do not care enough, they are criticized, and when they care deeply and hold students accountable, it can be viewed as overstepping. Personally, I would rather have educators who genuinely care about my child's education, character, and future. During Ms. Pérez's leadership, she did everything within her power to address concerns, including HVAC and maintenance issues, as quickly as the school's resources allowed. Running a nonprofit school without state funding is not without its difficulties, and I believe that instead of allowing those challenges to define Chinquapin, we as parents and members of the community should help share its story, advocate for it, and help bring in the resources and funding needed to ensure it continues serving students for generations to come. I am extremely grateful for our family's experience with Chinquapin and for the impact the school has had on my son. I hope that under its new leadership, the school continues building on the progress that has been made and becomes even stronger. Chinquapin is a unique place with an important mission, and I truly hope our community continues to support it.

I graduated from the Chinquapin School in 2006 (this marks 20 years today). The directors at the…read moretime were Bill and Kathy Heinzerling. They were the directors at Chinquapin for about 30 years. The intial idea was to provide quality education for low-income students like myself at the time. Similiarly, to the affluent schools like St. John's School in the Upper Kirby area in Houston. In fact, the founders of the school were Bob and Maxine Moore who intially worked for St. John's at the time and decided to open The Chinquapin school in 1969. The Chinquapin School was a safe haven for me when home life was complete chaos. My English teachers at the time saw a lot of potential in me and pushed me to write and excel in my writing and academics. I am the first woman to graduate high school in my family. I am first woman in my family to graduate college. I am the first teacher in my family. Currently, I teach English I at Yes Prep Public Schools (I have been awarded by the state because of my STAAR scores). I have read some of the recent reviews on here. And clearly based on those reviews some things have changed due to the leadership and the culture in recent years. However, I have enrolled my son here and this will be his second year at The Chinquapin School. He absolutely loves it. The school now has a new director, I believe her name is Chelsea Korth.

There is a small child to teacher ratio and you can tell that the teachers genuinely love kids. My daughter learns new things everyday and comes home everyday with arts and crafts that she made. A great thing about it is that the classes are conducted from 9 to 2, but if you need to drop your child off earlier or pick them up later, they have an extended care before and after school. It saves us money over the traditional daycare because we only need it from 9 to 3:30. I really would recommend this daycare to anybody.
