Rating 4.21 out of 5 66 reviews
We were a Keystone family for over 5 years, ultimately leaving to enroll in a Christian private school to provide the culture of morals and ethics we felt were missing from Keystone. Keystone had excellent academics, friendly teachers, and, before covid, a multitude of academic and athletic extracurricular activities as well as yearly multiday field trips to fantastic destinations.
Keystone is very liberal; it has turned even harder left. Students censoring conservative views in school chatrooms, administrators pushing social justice/critical race theory summer reading lists, and restrictive covid practices (curtailing many extracurricular activities and restricting students from school trips if they didn’t adhere to the draconian covid mandates) became too much for us. We even had another parent try to persuade our children to question their belief in God behind our backs.
Our experience and frustration seems to mirror other conservative families (Christian and Jewish).

Keystone is difficult at times. Most students in high school struggle with mental disorders, and the wellness programs are a total mess. That being said, being at Keystone gives students initiative. Compared to the standard for schools in Texas, Keystone has an almost unparalleled academic program perhaps only second to BASIS. Students learn critical thinking skills and are given invaluable tools to prepare for college. When I was in middle school, I found the middle school program provided valuable note-taking and learning skills for high school. The teachers are truly amazing and want you to approach them. Because Keystone is pretty small, there aren't many clubs offered, which is a major downside, the student population is not very diverse, and there are a couple of teachers that are terrible but won't be fired because of their emotional ties with the school. Overall, the academics, teachers, and college prep program are good, but there are still a couple of lingering issues.
Keystone School is truly a haven for students who want to learn. This is evident in the classrooms where the students concentrate on their work as they diligently review materials, ask challenging questions, and participate in the frequent in-class discussions. However, Keystone should improve its effort in preparing students for standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT. As a student of this school, I truly appreciate the teacher’s efforts in making sure the students grasp and understand concepts rather than participate in tedious memorization techniques. On the other hand, I have found that we as students often go on miniature “scavenger hunts” every year to find the best sources of aid when it comes time to study for these exams. Therefore, Keystone should establish a way in which students can stay engaged in class while also preparing diligently for college exams.
