BASIS San Antonio

• BASIS San Antonio Medical Center, TX
• 5-10
• 4

Freshman: Basis is an extremely rigorous school that prepares you for college. It offers a variety of classes and the courses are difficult. A change I would like to see made is the cost of joining extracurriculars to be lowered. The school is a charter school but ,due to the difficult courses that one would have to engage in, most students often drop out of the school resulting in smaller classes and better one on one relations with the teachers.

Eleanor Kolitz Hebrew Language Academy

• Public School
• San Antonio, TX
• K-8
• 5

Parent: We have three children at EKHLA and feel very strongly that they are getting a stellar education. Over the last five years we have had wonderful teachers and only one (who no longer works there) that was not up to par. The students are nurtured, supported and respected and they are held to high standards both in their behavior and in their academics. The coursework is rigorous as is the homework, but their teachers are always ready and willing to spend extra time outside of school to tutor their students. The Principal is honest and doesn't mince words, yet the students love her warmth and personal attention. To top it all off, they are learning Hebrew daily, which is just the cherry on top. We are very happy at EKHLA.

Jose M. Lopez Middle School

• North East Independent School District, TX
• 6-8
• 7

Alum: Lopez Middle School granted many students many different opportunities. Being an alum from this middle school, I would like to state that what I loved so much about this school was that I was able to be involved in fine arts just as much as I was able to be in athletics. No one extra curricular activity dominated another which allowed for equal opportunities. The staff when I attended were not the best but the principal and vice principal have been replaced and they were the ones who seemed to be at the center of conflict. The campus overall is safe but it is extremely easy for children to leave campus as what happened in the spring of 2016. Since this incident, the safety has increased. The teachers, directors, and coaches are outstanding and extremely encouraging in every aspect of their student's academic career.

Alum: What I loved about Tejeda middle school was the opportunity for kids at all learning levels. The kids who excelled were able to challenged and really improve, and the kids who had trouble were able to receive just as much of an education.

Folks Middle School

Freshman: I believe John Folks Middle School is a great place to prepare yourself for high school later on. There are so many amazing teachers who are happy to see you, any time of day whether you be an 8th grader from two years ago or present student. Which makes it very warming and welcoming to others, just to know they care about you. But also their head of coaches department is quite amazing, they push your limits to do better than the last rep before.

Alum: Briscoe has a lively atmosphere with very kind, helpful and supportive teachers and staff. Majority of the students are very friendly and active within their academics as well as extracurricular activities. I am a part of the athletics department, and I love the coaches as well as my teammates. The occasional fight does occur, but usually settles down very quickly so we can go amongst our regularly scheduled program.

Atonement Academy

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• PK, K-12
• 56

Parent: What I like most about the Atonement Academy is that it’s the only Catholic School in San Antonio that has daily Mass for the students. As a Catholic parent, I want my daughter to grow up experiencing God in her life and there is nothing more beautiful than to be given a chance to attend Mass everyday
while in school and to be free to
practice her Catholic faith.
If my goal for my daughter is purely academics and sports, I will probably put her in another school. However, what good is it if she “ gains the whole world and loses her soul”.
I hope and pray that the Atonement Academy continues to be what God intended it to be,
a truly Catholic School.

Boerne Middle School North

• Boerne Independent School District, TX
• 6-8
• 2

Freshman: Boerne Middle School North was a great expirence with a fun filled environment. However, that being said, the school did have its "not so good" days. One thing I would like to see a change in is how much concern for the band the school has over the orchestra and choir. The difference in how these three extra cirricular activities are put into action is absolutely terrible! That being said, orchestra and choir have more potentional than the opportunitys handed to them. Another thing that I would like to see a change in is the excessive abrupt favoritism in a lot of students. From the determining of sports teams to the excessive improper dress coding, it goes a long way to show who's favorited and who isn't as much. Overall, it's a wonderful school with a great staff of encouraging teachers. Academically, it can't get any better!

San Antonio Christian School

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• PK, K-12
• 68

Junior: I’m a relatively new student at SACS, I transferred from Reagan High School in the second semester of my sophomore year, and I love it. As a new kid, I was being reached out to with open arms. Almost immediately, I had friends and was felt involved. Due to the fact that the school is so small, it’s easy to think that it would be difficult to enter a friend group or find your “clique”. This is not the case. Very friendly students, very understanding teachers/staff, very committed to seeing you succeed. Not only academically, but to see you grow as a person as well. I’m closer to the people at SACS than I ever was with anyone at Reagan. This is where I wish I was from the start of 1st grade. Go Lions!

Parent: I never saw bullying. I never saw violence. The teachers really cared! They even call you personally to talk about your child! Even on the weekends!!! They really love their students. The pick up however, is a mess. We share the same entrance as the middle school next door! Something needs to change. Other than that, the school is amazing!

First Baptist Academy of Universal City

• Private School
• Universal City, TX
• PK, K-12
• 8

Alum: First Baptist Academy is a great school that I really didn't appreciate until my senior year. Coming from a public school background, I was used to seeing new faces with each class period, but at FBA you travel with the same people from class-to-class (except for electives). Academically, First Baptist Academy is wonderful. The teachers were genuine, and they encouraged you to not be lazy, but prepared you to face the realities of education at a University. There is very, very little diversity as far as high school goes. There's diversity in elementary and middle school, though. The fine arts at the school is superb! What really got me to enjoy the school my senior year was how the staff genuinely encouraged students to seek God and to put Him first. All in all, this school truly was a blessing and a great way to finish out my secondary education.

The Christian School at Castle Hills

Senior: I (a current high school senior) have attended Castle Hills since third grade. The teachers here have consistently been caring and invested in our student body as a whole and as individual people, and are committed to helping their students succeed. I participate in multiple extracurricular activities (fine arts, athletics, and honor societies/student governments), and each department is headed by informed, capable leaders who make the experiences in those activities worthwhile. I feel very prepared as I approach my transition into college.
