Public schools are completely different from what they were say, 10 years ago. For kindergarten and…read morepart of 1st, while in a public school, my daughter was labeled as a problematic child who was not capable of learning anything because she was so bad, according to various teachers. After trying everything and any way of communication with teachers I decided the public school was the problem and not my child as they were not funded adequately to help someone like my daughter. I looked into various schools and KIPP was the best option and selection for me. Within 6 months of attending KIPP Esperanza, I saw a huge leap in her learning skills and her behavior totally changed. It took comprehensive and patient staff at KIPP less than a month to know the type of help my kid needed to formulate an education plan for her. My oldest is now going to 5th and her middle sister is now attending kinder with her. KIPP will remain our selection until all three of my girls graduate. Especially with a 100% college acceptance rate.

My daughter was in kindergarten last year, and we were so glad we found Invictus in our community…read more We had such a positive experience for her first year in "big girl school" and she can't wait to go back for first grade. With that being said, it was their first year being open, so there was minor hiccups, but nothing we found to be a problem. The Great Hearts curriculum and culture is exactly what we thought it would be. My daughter never spent more than 30 minutes on homework each day, and we felt the uniform policy was easy to follow. The other big factor for us was the community. When you go to Great Hearts Invictus, it's not just a school, it's a community that spends time together and really builds relationships. I loved this! I dove right in and have been pretty involved with the school, and I found this to be useful to know what's going on and be able to be present for certain things. I have recommended this school to family/friends, and I will continue to do so.

It sucks. It is WAY worse than public school. I was a student there, made lots of friends, and had…read morea good time. But let me tell u from a student perspective, your kid will get bullied, and ur kid will come home every day a little more depressed. I recommend avoiding this school and only using it as a last resort. It is very unorganized, and the expectations for the students are unreasonably high. They expect perfection every time and the punishments are severe if you don't meet the exact criteria... It literally strikes fear into the hearts of the students. and while i agree that some degree of fear is good, i also believe that the amount of fear that this school gives is a dangerous amount. And while i will give this school credit for having a phenomenal course and teachings, but in the end, the cons outweigh the pros, by A LOT. My advice for elementary kids if u do go: Just follow the rules, keep ur head down, and don't cause a commotion. My advice for middle school kids if you do go: STAY AWAY FFROM THE GIRLS THERE, they are VERY toxic... and my advice for high school kids if u do go there: Find a girlfriend quick before all of them are taken and just go through the depression great hearts gives you together. Pls stay away from the school but if you do end up going... follow my advice. I warned you. - Reed Mac

My children have been here since pre-school. My youngest is about to start intermediate school (5th…read moregrade) and my eldest is about to start high school in a few days. 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.

Lisa has since retired, but still pops in and remembers our son fondly! Mr. Pinkston, the teachers and support staff are amazing!! We have never seen such kind, caring and knowledgeable professionals! Their attentive approach to students and passion for education has made such an impact! Fast forward 5 years, he continues to thrive in 8th grade with excellent grades and a great group of friends! When we were looking at schools, CHS offered SOARS support which really stood out to us and has been such an amazing tool for our son. I highly recommend an education with CHS, schedule a tour and shadow day, you will be thoroughly impressed

You have to be "the right kind of disabled" to be accepted by the headmaster, Austin Clow. After…read moremeeting with Austin, he rejected my son and did not have the decency to tell us directly, he had his secretary do it. This turned out to be a blessing as our child's special education teacher is AMAZING and highly qualified. Apparently, the staff at this school do not all have special education degrees. They had no business teaching my child in the first place. And the headmaster's approach is a red flag.

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.

San Antonio Christian Schools (SACS) was once a wonderful school, but sadly, that is no longer the…read morecase. As a parent who invested more than 10 years with multiple children at SACS, I cannot recommend the school today primarily for three reasons. First, tuition has increased significantly in recent years, yet the quality of education has not kept pace. While there are still pockets of excellent teachers who truly love their students and inspire them, these are the exception rather than the rule. For the tuition and additional fees being charged, the academics and overall experience simply do not measure up. Second, the administration is inconsistent, plays favorites and encourages gender discrimination. Certain families and students receive preferential treatment, while others are held to a different standard. Additionally, certain events are marketed based on gender, intentionally excluding the opposite gender. Instead of upholding fairness, the administration regularly chooses self preservation, politics and favoritism. Third, SACS does not partner with parents. Although the school claims it values collaboration, the reality is when parents raise legitimate concerns or attempt to hold leadership accountable, they are quickly silenced. There has been incidents of misconduct by staff towards students as well as sexual harassment claims against a high level administrative staff member, and in all circumstances, claims have been swept under the rug. Staff members that challenge decisions are fired. Families who question decisions or speak out are often placed on a "blacklist". Families, including those with children in good academic and behavioral standing, are prevented from re-enrolling or denied readmission. The message is clear: conform and be silent or get out. In short, SACS today reflects hypocrisy rather than true Christian values. The school promotes itself as providing a faith-based, high-quality education, but the reality is very different. Tuition is too high for what families actually receive, the environment is political and unfair, and the administration does not respect parents as partners in their children's education. If you are considering enrolling your child at SACS, my advice is to look elsewhere. Save your money for a school that offers genuine Christian values, quality academics, integrity, and displays respect for both students and their families.

Fortunately their is an outlet for her creativity in the form of a dynamite Theater Arts program and teacher Mr. Arellano. We call it creativity in our house not dementia. The teachers like Mr. A are a Godsend for what we all know is the most trying time in any body's primary school education. I can't even remember my middle school years because I have blocked them completely from memory. I do recall the cheerleaders however and quite vividly. Luna middle school has provided some great programs and clubs to keep the kids active and interested. My daughter's latest performance in the school play has received rave reviews from both her mother and her aunt who claim that she is Hollywood bound and no one was prouder than me when she donned the Michael Jackson glove in the theater arts rendition of Thriller for Halloween. I sit and watch the little female creature grow into a budding young woman and know that what she requires are two things; attention and attention. Just keep on performing little girl and I promise that I will always be there to watch.

The teachers are very understanding and give students time to complete assignments they didnt have time to cover in school. Not all schools are that understanding.
