    My family is relocating to Austin and the thing I'm the most sad about is losing this daycare for my 17 month old.

    Everything you need to know about the school: the school has ongoing difficulties hiring qualified…read moreteachers, which is a critical concern. The math teacher and the IB coordinator resigned last March, and as of December, no permanent replacements have been appointed. The teacher currently covering these responsibilities reportedly has no prior IB experience. Assigning teachers without confirmed IB background to senior-level classes raises serious concerns about the quality and continuity of instruction. The chemistry teacher taught online for half a year because the school was unable to secure a visa. Another teacher was hired in the middle of the year; however, the school has not provided any information regarding her IB experience or certification. This lack of transparency makes it difficult for parents to assess whether IB standards are being met. The school's salary and benefits package appears to be uncompetitive within the local market, which may explain the hiring challenges. At the same time, the school continues to allocate funds to cosmetic updates such as repainting facilities and redesigning the website through third-party contractors. This raises reasonable questions about budget priorities. Overall, student academic outcomes do not appear to be the school's primary focus. Additionally, it is publicly known that the director's wife works in UX design; beyond this, the rationale for the recent urgency to redesign the school's website remains unclear.

    Imagine, just for a second, that you live in a different world…read more In this world, when you are traveling in France or Canadá, your child can have a conversation with adults or other kids in French with such a pure Parisian accent that no local would ever suspect that he/she did not grew up in France. Imagine a world where in highschool the honors class is the entire highschool, 9th graders present the College Board "AP French" exam and every single 9th grader gets a solid 5 (max AP grade). Imagine a place where AP courses and IB (International Baccalaureate) or FB (French Baccalaureate) diplomas are not mutually exclusive and, 1370 SAT and 30 ACT scores are the average. Sounds like a familiar place? If it does not then you should consider DIS for your kids.

    As a parent, I will be as honest as I can. We were deciding between Hockaday, Ursuline and a coed…read moreschool. Our daughter got into all three. We ultimately decided on Hockaday because of what we were told by the administration. They left out very important pieces. First, they are again looking for another Head of school. They have a leadership problem for sure. Secondly, the upper school parents are given actual grades only twice a year. Mid year (when it is too late to do anything about 25% of their grades) and the final grade at the end of the year. There is not computer access to test scores or even scheduled parent teacher conferences. You are expected to have your child do all of this with the help of their advisor. Their advisor is a teacher at the school who has to work with all the teachers that the girls do not like. The advisors tell the girls things like "whatever your teacher says, is the final decision." This is in regards to things like what class your child can take next year. If your child has amazing test scores from other schools and on all her standardized tests but this one teacher who has only known your child for months says your kid can't do the work, your child will be demoted. This is true for all Math classes, Science classes and Foreign language classes. The biggest kicker is we are paying over $35,000.00 a year for this school - not our daughter and not the teachers. Hockaday does not see to understand that we are the clients. The teacher shortage also means that the administration supports the teachers who should not be working at a top tier private school. Ask any girl and they will list 5 teachers who everyone dislikes. The administration doesn't care. In fact, they specifically say that the girls can ask for schedule changes for any reason except they don't want the teacher they are assigned. Seems odd they would ever have to put that if all the teachers were as good as they claim. The parents pay more tuition than state colleges but the girls are not allowed to pick their classes or teachers. Think about that for a minute. So how about that epic education? Nope, they have so many days off for holidays and random stuff that the classes are rushed and the girls are stressed more than the boys at their brother school St. Mark's. In fact, St.Marks continues to be in the top 5 for schools nationwide and Hockaday is about 150. I personally think it is because my child was an A student at her other schools but Hockaday is a completely different story. For the first time, my child gets c's. This is in classes like English, History and Spanish. The teachers first will give special privileges to lifer hockaday students because those girls "already know how we do things here at hockaday". Interesting because those are the girls who never score as high as the new students who have to actually have the scores and intelligence to get into Hockaday at High School. Everyone is accepted in Kindergarten - as long as you can pay. The English teachers feel you can only get an A if you see them every day and are their little pet. That is not possible if your child has extra curricular activities for the 3 hours required by coaches every single day. The kids make appointments during their breaks and rarely eat because they use lunch time as a conference time. Yes, all the teachers want you to be in their class constantly. A good teacher, teaches the complete lesson in the time allotted. It's called time management and consideration for other people. Spanish is ridiculously hard. Take Latin or French if you want an A. My best advice is don't be stupid like us and pay $35,000 a year (plus all of the fundraising requests) to a school that will cause your child to not get into an Ivy League or top tier school. Luckily, the college counselors who have never been accepted to an Ivy will give you suggestions like Gettysburg college. Also, they spend a huge portion of their money towards sports. We have all kinds of sports fields going in and not a single reason why we should not take our daughter out of school. Luckily, they have some random woman who requires the girls to spend hours doing things like pretending they are poor, talking about being privileged, and forced community service to whatever is the most humiliating. They have spoken to the girls for hours this month about being stressed. THEY ARE THE ONES STRESSING everyone out. The girls NEED their Y hours to visit teachers and do the 7 pages of homework on the internal organs in Spanish 2 not discussing how the counselors made really bad decisions they regret. Also, we buy the lap tops and everything else. Books are not included in tuition. So add another $600 a year. At this point, I think I will be in AA soon if my kid stays at this school.

    Very good school-- some amazing teachers, some okay. Probably the biggest discrepancies are in the…read moretheology department. I had some amazing, compassionate theology teachers, and one who made me feel like I was going to hell because I wasn't Catholic. Ursuline does prepare you well for AP testing, but in some AP classes that have multiple teachers, how well you do depends almost entirely on which teacher you get as some prepare you better than others. However, the school places WAY too much emphasis on sports, and a lot of the funding is funneled into athletics. When I was there, I was a member of the Speech and Debate team. We got no attention or funding from the school, and it showed at competitions. I had to hire a separate, outside-of-school forensics coach just to know what I was doing. It was frankly embarrassing to go up against other prep schools like Hockaday and Parish, both of which had paid coaches and did very well, with no support from the school. It never really felt like a team as much as it did certain individuals (who were very good but had to figure it out for themselves with no coach) competing.

    I can't believe there are no reviews yet?? Where are all those happy UA girls?…read more I graduated class of '02 and loved everything about my 4 years at UA. Coming out of Plano public schools, it was soooo refreshing to finally make some girl friends that are worth keeping (nothing against Plano, but I found my classmates to be a lot of things, but genuine was not one of them). I will have it be noted that it has been 7 years since I graduated and I still talk to my 5 best friends from high school daily (via email.. but it still counts). Friends like that are a rare find and worth every penny my precious parents spent on my tuition here. A few months ago, I went to a dinner for Bay Area Alumnae. It was so fun to see generations of UA girls and get together to hear about what is new at the school. I am really hoping to be able to do it again soon. It sounds like some major renovations are happening and it is so exciting to see our beautiful campus being so nicely maintained. Not only did I make lifelong friends here, but I received a great education and learned to be a confident and competent woman. As a parent, that is all you can ask for!
