The Hockaday School

• Private School
• Dallas, TX
• PK, K-12
• 113

Junior: There is no other school like Hockaday. Our teachers challenge us with new topics and ideas in our studies, but also come out to support us in sports events and fine arts showcases. The friends that I have made at Hockaday compare to no where else. I always know that I can trust them, and, most importantly, make me laugh. Lastly, I know that after graduating that I will feel prepared to take on the world with both its exciting adventures and challenges with confidence after the Hockaday education I have received on lessons for in and outside of the classroom. Hockaday can at times be challenging but cultivates an inclusive, supportive, and positive community that I am proud to be a part of.

St. Stephen's Episcopal School

• Private School
• Austin, TX
• 6-12
• 62

Alum: I loved my time at St. Stephen's. The teachers are exceptional and the lack of AP classes means that they don't just teach to the exams but what is most interesting to them -- which usually translates into much more interesting class time! I felt like I was more prepared than most of my college peers (at an elite school nonetheless!) -- my writing was better, I was better at time-management. The only thing I would change is that at the time the student body was not especially active in clubs/non-sport activities, however I think this is slowly changing.

The Village School

Alum: It's a school like no other thanks to the incredible diversity that one would not expect to find in Texas. The people are extremely interesting due to having lived around the world and many lifelong friends are made here. It's a community and you will find a Viking anywhere you go! It's an extremely expensive school and as the school continues to grow some of the community and the excellent level of teachers seems to go down, but it is still a great school academically.

TMI Episcopal

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• 6-12

Alum: TMI is an incredible private school that values not only quality education, but also community service, student leadership, and good sportsmanship. I'd say all the students grow to be well-rounded individuals with every advantage at succeeding in life. Unlike Keystone that focuses, in my opinion, too much on academics, TMI focuses on the overall happiness and well-being of its students, while providing an engaging enviornment for student life and college-preparatory education. The campus is absolutely beautiful, and because the school is relatively small, students are trusted to act like adults and given freedoms and opportunities you won't find at other schools. Walking around this school is like being on a small private college campus. In addition, teachers are supportive of students in every way imaginable. Unlike other students at my university, I was prepared for college and able to maintain a 4.0 without trying very much.

Senior: Fantastic education. The teachers truly care, and the curriculum has prepared me for college. However, the private, Christian aspect of the school causes the student body to be very homogenous, both socially and politically, and I wish the students were more open-minded.

Niche User: Communication and education with small class sizes are my 2 greatest likes of this school. Good technology, strict policies on behavior and uniform standards that are enforced equally across the board. Every student gets accepted into college, this is the schools main objective and they are great at it!

Marine Military Academy

• Private School
• Harlingen, TX
• 7-12
• 31

Parent: Marine Military Academy offers young men the real opportunity to experience life, become self reliant, build friendships and receive credit for jobs well done. If you work hard you will be rewarded, if you coast, you get what you put into it and if you just don't try you just don't get anything. Every aspect of how the school is run is based on simple real life rules of honor, respect, hard work and giving to others.

I wish every young man could have the chance to try the school. Amazing place among such a crazy social world we live in today. It allows them the chance to focus on learning, working hard and working with others. The school offers sports, community service, JROTC experience that is some of the best of the best. Additionally there are clubs like Key Club and NHS , CyberPatriot team, Rifle Team, you can learn to fly a plane or take cinematography among other things. This school has been going strong for 50 years and there is a reason for it! Excellent place!

Senior: San Marcos Academy is an interesting school. You get the opportunity to be meet and interact with a lot of different types of people and the teachers are very much like parent who want you to succeed, if you let them. One of the things I really don't like are the rules: many of them are unnecessary and pointless.

Chinquapin Preparatory School

• Private School
• Highlands, TX
• 6-12
• 31

Senior: I was admitted to Chinquapin Preparatory in seventh grade. I am now a senior about to graduate in a couple of months. Reflecting on my experience, I made excellent friends. I made friends I know will accompany me on my journey after high school. As for faculty, I was close to the teachers who are no longer teaching at Chinquapin anymore. It was difficult to recreate the relationships I had with those teachers who left with other teachers who continued to teach. Since it is a small school (150 students total from grades 6-12), everybody knows everybody. The teacher-student ratio is well balanced. Not to mention, students call teachers by their first names!
Overall, it was a heck of an experience and education. Stressful, endless nights of studying for two tests and a quiz the next day payed off.

Nazarene Christian Academy

• Private School

Alum: My experience at Nazerene Christian Academy was a very good one. I had the best supporters there. They were always encouraging the students to chase after their dreams but would also warn us of the real world. Anytime you needed help with anything, the teachers would spend one on one time in order for you to understand. If in bad to change one thing, I would say that they need to add more clubs. It's hard to get involved if you aren't an athlete or in student council. I was very lucky to be both but I do know of others who weren't as privileged.
