The George Gervin Academy is a local charter school founded by former Spurs player and NBA hall of…read morefame player George Gervin, hence the name, and is run by an administration consisting heavily of his family- his sister Barbara Hawkins is the superintendent, and sister Frances is the CFO. Originally opened as a drop out prevention high school, the school has since expanded to serve PK-12th grades, spanning early childhood, middle school (mostly housed at a separate location) and high school. In addition to core classes, the school has a sports program including basketball, cheer, and soccer teams, and has a new gym facility that hosts basketball and volleyball tournaments. Teachers here, as at other schools, are of all varieties of background and education levels- quite a few possess Masters degrees or in the process of obtaining them, and all staff participate in extensive professional development and training. However, some teachers are better skilled and more experienced than others and it shows in the education and support they provide their students. Don't take this as a mark against this school in particular- you'll find that at any school. Recently, in addition to improving teacher skills through increased professional development and support, the school has also expanded course offerings and electives, particularly at the high school level. All students receive weekly gym and music classes, and they have also recently started an art program. High school students are able to take Spanish or German, and also have a Spurs Silver Dancer as a fine arts/dance teacher as well. Minor things that count against this school is the lack of transparency from administration, inconsistencies between classes and grade levels, and the fact that most grade levels only have one or two teachers- if you have difficulties, there really isn't often an alternative. However, on the bright side, classes are relatively small and the student body is small and feels more like a large family.

They have a lot of hands on activities the kids get to do and expect lots of fun arts and crafts being sent home. My kid loves it, and always talks about how much fun she had with Terri and Katie and Lourdes each time she comes home from school. All the teachers and staff there are amazing and keep you up to informed. Katie is one of my favorites, and keep us "in the know" with out us even asking. Wendy and Jo do an amazing job behind the scenes. I love that I get weekly emails about everything that's going on at the school and her class. If you are looking for a great school to call home ACORN is the place! They do have a wait list and going on a tour is a must. I recommend going online and check dates for the open house or call.

Bottom line, this school is different, and you are impacted by that as soon as you pull into the driveway.

Thanks to the school and it's leaders/teachers who are so passionate about our children.

I've been trying to get ahold of them since June, which is frustrating and making the transfer process more difficult than need be. Administration is unprofessional. My special needs son encountered discrimination by his after-school teacher. My son never thought he was stupid until he took that class, and the teacher yelled at me on the phone. When I spoke to the principal, she just told me that the situation had never happened. Being an ex military family, if you're pcsing, get all required documents far in advance. I tried and still failed, so be sure you get it then and there while in the office. If you have a special needs child, get an advocate. There are free and low-cost ones available.

Tickets sold in dollar increments. Food and drink items ranged from 1 to 3 or 4 tickets. Sodas, water, ice cream, cookies, brownies, cupcakes, frito pie, corn in a cup, tamales, nachos, hot chocolate. I'm sure I've missed stuff. Each grade sold something. Santa (my sisters brother -in-law) was there available for free pictures. The festival was held from 3:30 to 6 pm. Plenty of time. My nephew attends the academy and my sister was running around like a crazy woman. A joy to behold! Ha, ha.

The teachers are very hands on and make many opportunities to meet with you and ensure you are doing your best. Outside of the classroom they are available to meet in their office hours or lunch to talk through any life issues that come a student's way. The teachers are always more than willing to write a letter of recommendation. Chapel is always exciting and while you may get tired of singing salvae regina, you low key miss it when you're gone. I recommend everyone participate in the duel credit program they have with UIW because it makes the transition to college so much easier. I can honestly say that after graduation, I was prepared to handle the rigorous challenges of a University.
