The school administration tolerated bullying and was not helpful at all to my daughter. Blaming her was their solution. It took a toll mentally on her. They did little to support her mental health.

My parents were in debate of which all-girls' college prep school to send me to. I campaigned…read moreheavily for SAA bc the recruiters showed up vibrant, positive, and self-possessed. The other all-girls' school recruit team showed up withdrawn, and resigned. SAA is a place for ambitious girls, or to make one. Peers are COMPETITIVE. The '-' and '+' to your 'A' will matter to them. They'll make a stink when they outperform you, or sulk when they didn't perform as well as you. As a student, you'll get accustom to so many girls being smart, pretty, AND rich. To restate, if you're simply both pretty and rich, this won't be enough for status. High intelligence/high academic performance is valued here. Know that none of us alumn regret attending here. When I went onto co-ed undergrad, grad school, and the working world, we're all dismayed and astounded by our female peers, who evidently didn't attend an all-girls' college prep run by feminist(s) ...nuns; They'll lower their performance, not go for things, or simply question themselves in moments of alpha male posturing, and such guys' conscious and unconscious inferences to themselves being better than any of us. F*ck that sh*t! [Ahem.] Your daughter won't be naive to sexism. We get to more lucidly see how sexist boys and men (note: not all boys and men are sexist) get in the way of our own productivity, and ambitious aims. Because of SAA's relationship w all-boys' prep schools, there's a stark contrast of experiences --5 days a week you're with ambitious, talented, fearless young ladies who enjoy the pursuit of accomplishments. There's no contending w unconscious favoritism invested toward the success of boys in the classroom (wc studies have revealed are present in all manner of teachers). There's no teen marathon to display physical perfection; Cluttering our time --bc exposure to guys is confined to particular classes, lunch, and outside school hrs. I only applied to U.T. Austin. Luckily I got in. I do regret I didn't pursue my school counselor's recommendation that I apply to Sarah Lawrence College. The ways of public school peers, at U.T. Austin, was a shocker. Including those IB tracked! I ultimately pursued art, so I'll present what unfolded, thanks to being immersed in the culture of SAA. After finishing my Psychology degree at U.T. Austin, I worked for a yr at the State Legislative Council. The sexism (and racism) was high that legislative season. Despite all that drama, it wasn't in the way of my work. Their data showed I was 99% accurate (a.k.a. highest performer). I forgot the next highest performer, but I know it wasn't 98%. Three of the straight women were threatened in some way (mostly job security) by the wounded egos of our male colleagues' unrequited love. For me that was the first conscious moment that I knew no SAA girl would plead for understanding from juvenile, unprofessional men. We handle such people differently. After that job, I pursued a Fine Arts degree at U.T. Austin. On my arrival, I found that the department's art stars were only guys. I remember noticing all their well-rendered paintings of phallus pleasures and hyperbolized woman-child imagery. Needless to say, I was unimpressed w the ruse of pornographic fantasies contextualized in high art materials. ...I made art that employed my psych. degree and (minor in) sociology, as well as the skills I picked up at the Texas Legislative Council (i.e. reading legalese). By my second yr I won the first unanimously-voted merit award (the most prestigious Fine Art department award at the time). Same semester, I got published into a book that my then-professor also got selected for. I went on to be a Skowhegan Resident, which at the time was the top international art residency in the world. Just under 1% of applicants were accepted my yr. I got to study w Janine Antoni, Glenn Ligon and Kerry James Marshall. --To reiterate, SAA culture positions you well. I graduated from my dream grad school, Pratt (was #1 pgm att). I also made first cut for the Whitney program, Yale grad pgm, and full acceptance to Columbia U. ...So my four stars for SAA is bc 1. I wish the counselors informed us of the unfair details of an Ivy League. I only declined Columbia bc it was the first yr of a grad art program. I had no idea the cache of "Ivy League" would yield too many benefits to mention here. Also know, there has never been a year I regret not going to HSPVA. I would choose SAA for every young female in Houston. So would my alumn peers. SAA's also missing that last star for two more reasons: 2. It is extremely odd that nearly all my peers (and I) married white men. What are we not learning? 3. We need better brother schools. WHY were SJ boys allowed to chant, "TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP...!" at SAA girls, leaving many in tears and most feeling shocked, wholly betrayed and unsafe. Now my cousin and her SAA alumn peers are politically active college women. Well-versed, intelligent, and ambitious.

They loved the experience, their friends and the teachers at MLI! The school is a very small private school with 2 campuses - one for the infants and toddlers, second for the elementary and middle schools. They are not the fanciest school which means they are less expensive than most other private schools, but the quality of the education is very good. I still send my kids here during the summer and on some days when HISD is randomly closed, and the kids who regularly attend MLI are clearly ahead of my kids in the curriculum...by a lot. The teachers are well-balanced in a variety of academic topics, STEM, chess, etc.. They bring in outside vendors for things like soccer. Now I will say their parent communications could use improvement. There were multiple times when I was only given 1-2 days of notice to bring in some special supply, which is hard for a working parent. I also have trouble getting responses from the office staff, so I resort to emailing the owner/principal directly. Overall, the teachers are kind and clearly love the kids. The academic quality is superb. My kids still love going to MLI, so for those reasons, I give MLI 5 stars.

I'm writing this review with mixed feelings. From an…read moreacademic standpoint the school is very good. Teachers are very good and my family had experience with age group 3-5 (preK 3 and preK 4-5). Staff is generally kind, as long as you are completely cooperative. A parent cannot speak up against or question anything. We did encounter some behavior issues that took the school weeks to address and multiple meetings with the administrator as my child kept coming home crying he was being picked on. My family has supported the school throughout, and loved it. Then in fall 2021 The school took action removing my son after registration, involuntarily, due to the administrator (who is also the owner of the school) refusal to accommodate to my 5-year-old's special needs. My child who was accommodated the previous year was told he may not return unless he follows new school regulations, where elsewhere considered illegal, regarding wearing masks when my child is medically exempt. The administrator waited until 3 days before the new school year started which left me without any other options but homeschool as registration closed everywhere else for the school year. These actions portraited the administration as unprofessional, careless to the consequences of their actions and cruel to a child that only wanted to come back to his friends and teacher. Then when I called the school to ask to collect my son's items that were left for him to return, his teacher blocked my number and hung up the call in my face. I am questioning the administration's ability to teach the Montessori values when they cannot follow them themselves. They surely are unable to teach by example. I would say, that if your child doesn't require any accommodation, if you do not mind supporting a school that discriminates and refuses education to a young child that is medically unable to wear a face cover and are not worried about the values they teach by example; this would be a great choice.

The warmth is felt through the bright colored hallways, with artwork and pictures of children completing it spanning from door to door. We have been lucky to have some really wonderful teachers from the infants classes all the way to Pre-K 4. The school is also home to the unique STARS program, which blends occupational, speech, and music therapy into the traditional classroom day for students who need the extra care. While the program can be expensive compared to other schools, scholarships are available, and the ability for students to be picked up and dropped off for extracurricular classes, such as Dance, Art, Gymnastics, or Swimming is a huge bonus.

Handing them off to someone else felt overwhelming, but Poe made that transition feel less like a leap and more like joining a big, supportive family. Being welcomed into the classroom and getting to be an active participant in my child's learning has been such a gift. Parent helper days are a highlight of our month. It's such a joy to get to know all of the children and see how my child interacts with their friends and teachers in a new setting. The teachers are warm, nurturing, and deeply engaged. This was my son's first time outside of our home and they were excellent at gently guiding him through a new environment. They somehow manage to balance calm structure with joyful chaos, and they treat each child like a whole person. The play-based curriculum encourages creativity, exploration, and a lot of wonderfully messy learning, which we absolutely love. We also love the emphasis on outdoor time. The kids are outside climbing, running, digging, and trying to smuggle home their new pet bugs. It has been amazing for their energy, imagination, and general happiness, although our car has become a bit of a mobile nature preserve. The classroom garden has given my son a love of a fresh picked green bean, although I am not sure he left any to be harvested! The sense of community at Poe is something truly special. Families genuinely get to know each other, and there is a shared feeling of we are in this together. We have loved all of the opportunities for us to engage either through family gatherings at the school, or the welcoming invitations to weekend meet ups and park play dates. We are incredibly grateful to be part of such a thoughtful, fun, and caring environment.
