Sure there can be issues at the school, but compared to having you children in one of the fully…read morepublic schools this is so much better. The public schools are glorified babysitters, they don't teach critical thinking or how to make it in life. They only teach how to graduate and make the school money. Aristoi is so much better than this. I have had 4 children attend through middle school and then go to public high school. Each one comes home saying how unprepared these kids are. Aristoi requires parents to be involved in their kids education, which is the key to children success. It is a difficult school, but worth the 10 mile drive there and back we make every day.

I wanted to like aristoi but every interaction i had with staff did not end well. First occurrence,…read morewe went to pick up car tags but nobody was there. There was an emergency so the lady had to leave. I let that go because accidents and emergencies happen. Second occurrence, we had issues with setting up the school cafe and was told a contact to reach out to. We reached out several times and got no response. When i called the office, i was told they received a lot of calls like this but i was the one who was the most upset. I was told my child would be fed regardless of the school cafe issue. Well guess what, he wasn't. He was eating his snack at lunch then had no snack at snack time. It took me writing the dean to finally get the issue fixed after 2 weeks. The teacher wrote a new behavior report every day. Never once did she try to contact us to create a plan on how we can work together. She would send him to recovery every single day. We then got a call to speak with the head of elementary. while on the phone, my son somehow cut his finger. THREE adults were in the room at the time and not 1 could tell me how he cut his finger. At the meeting, there was no plan on how we can work together. During the meeting, they wanted my 5 year old son to sit in a room by himself while we had our meeting. This upset me because why make a 5 year old sit in a room by himself?!? We were asked what other options we have considered. We made the decision to withdraw from aristoi. It is clear that they do not want to work with students who have a hard time transitioning. Rather than understand the student, they rather cast them away. 0/10 would never recommend.

The food is bad and not healthy even though the school is always trying to get kids to be healthy. Parents beware!!!!!!! I once found a pack of cranberries that was 2 years past the expiration date. I also found in their Turkey and cheese lunchable there was mold growing on the cheese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The school has a huge amount of money but uses it for dumb stuff. The water fountains suck. They always give you not enough water or way too much. They also say that they are going to do something but they never do. Over all it is a great school with good staff and bad food. By Duncan K.

This school does not put up with bullying by listening to students and parents to actually correct the problem. I like the idea that Fifth Graders are encouraged to be role models for the younger grades. Also tutoring before school helps students to improve their grades. Because of high academic standards & morale, the students are well prepared for Junior High. This makes Cimarron Elementary one of the best elementary schools in the Katy area.

The school works hard to make sure those values are carried into the classroom, interactions with students, and the overall culture. You can tell the staff is intentional--there's consistency in expectations, follow-through in teaching, and a steady focus on helping students become thoughtful, responsible learners. It's more than just academics; it feels like a school that's truly committed to its purpose. We're thankful for the effort they put in and how supported our kids have felt.

I have three children - one in high school, one in middle school and one in elementary school - and…read morethey have all attended since kindergarten. We absolutely love this school. My husband and I always wanted our children to have a Christian education but were new to Katy when our oldest turned 5. When we enrolled in 2017, BCA was extremely small (only 40 kids). Each year the school has grown and next year I hear we will have 400 students K through 12. This is really exciting, because the highschoolers will have more opportunities such as athletics through TAPPS and FFA. My kids are athletic and love to play multiple sports. At BCA sports begin in 5th grade and they are able to play volleyball, flag football, basketball, and run track and cross country. Apparently it's on the horizon that BCA will offer baseball and 7 man tackle football soon as well. While it is wonderful that we are now able to provide some of these opportunities to the kids, that is not what keeps us at BCA. BCA is special because while many schools are Christian only in name, BCA teaches every single subject through a biblical lens. Why do we teach students math? Because God is a God of order and He gave us math as a tool - it is worthy of learning! Why teach students science? Because all the world is His creation. We also value BCA teachers are not simply trying to cram information into students so that they test well - they want the students to love learning. I feel like every teacher my child has had (and at this point we have had over 50 across my 3 children) has truly seen my child for who they are and worked with them to grow their individual gifts and improve areas where they struggle. The teachers don't just care for the students during the school year either - it's year round. My daughter's math teacher is hosting a Bible study for her home over the summer for the girls. Another thing I love about BCA is that they teach the kids to treat others with respect. The students say "yes ma'am" and "no sir" to teachers and other authority. Boys pull out chairs for girls and hold doors open, and girls say thank you in return. In an era where chivalry seems relatively dead, we get a lot of compliments on the students for having this basic etiquette. I also really appreciate that it is a cell phone free campus. There are no Chromebooks, and no student is allowed to have a cell phone at any point during the school day no matter what their age or grade. While I initially wondered how my kids would learn to do assignments on a computer if there were non at school, they do learn in upper school. My 9th grader has become proficient in typing and has performed many assignments online, while also being a confident public speaker. Public speaking has huge emphasis at BCA - there are various assignments and opportunities throughout the year in which each and every student presents or recites in front of their peers. Finally, it's a wonderful community of parents. Volunteering is a requirement at the school - each family must volunteer a minimum of 20 hours. That leads to parents being on campus often and getting to know one another. There are also lots of social opportunities for parents - there are moms coffee dates, moms night out, dads nights, a book club, and more. If you want a Christ centered education for your kids, this is it!
