2020 Best Middle Schools in the San Antonio AreaAbout this List

Keystone School

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• PK, K-12
• 51 reviews

Junior: I am entering my senior year and there is no other high school I would rather be than Keystone. The motto of "academic excellence" is embodied by every aspect of Keystone, with dedicated students and useful teachers determined to learn in the best way possible. More than anything else, my Keystone education has taught me to be a free thinker while still respecting others, allowing me to form my own opinions and look at situations objectively. While the school is inherently challenging, the overall experience is definitely worth it, preparing young adults not only for college but also giving them the tools to be successful and caring members of society.

Saint Mary's Hall

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• PK, K-12
• 57 reviews

Parent: My experience with Saint Mary’s Hall has been nothing but exemplary. We started in Montessori. My children are now in 4th and 7th grades. Academics are rigorous and challenging as I feel they should be. The students are given opportunities to choose from either fine arts and sports for their extra curricular activities. My children have participated and enjoyed being part both. Smaller class sizes, ample opportunities to excel, attention they get from faculty and staff are just few of the reasons why we love Saint Mary’s Hall. If you are looking at private schools for your children and you want one that is well rounded and challenging, then Saint Mary’s Hall will be an excellent choice!

Eleanor Kolitz Hebrew Language Academy

• Public School
• San Antonio, TX
• K-8
• 6 reviews

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.

The Christian School at Castle Hills

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• PK, K-12
• 100 reviews

Senior: The education was worth every penny. The material we covered prepares me for not only college, but also understanding and making decisions in our overly complicated times.

The sports have led to my personal growth and reaching dreams. My athletic director has been behind me and always believed in me.

The coaches, teachers , leaders and administration are great, and our small classes really allows for individual attention when needed.

We have small but close classes. The camps, mission trips, sports, spirit days, and so many weekends with my friends are some of the things I will forever miss.


Although no place is perfect, I can’t imagine attending school anywhere else but here. Just come shadow for a day and see if you

Parent: We have had a great experience while at this small, safe, close-knit school. The faculty and staff work as a team, and administration is very supportive. This year over the summer, the building was expanded to included several new classrooms, a completed gym, and new playground. From the outside of the school, there is no way to tell the greatness that exists within! My three students are very happy at this school, and I appreciate that each of their teachers holds them to high expectations and standards each and every day.

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.

Great Hearts Northern Oaks

• Great Hearts Texas, TX
• K-8
• 3 reviews

Junior: Great Hearts Northern Oaks is not a school that focuses on improving the abilities of its students. It leaves that to the students themselves. Instead, it focuses on providing opportunities for personal growth and strengthening of character. Rather than spoon-feeding information and handing examples to students on a platter, the teachers lead the students to answers through questions and discussion (this is called the Socratic method.) This method develops critical thinking skills, humility in opinion, and love for good and beautiful things. I owe it to GHNO for inspiring me to work smarter, learn faster, and appreciate the opportunities I have even more.

Boerne Middle School North

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

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!

Niche User: This school was diverting, challenging, and preparation for the future. The teachers encouraged the very best of their students and always encouraged and pushed the students to reach and surpass their potential. The coaches and athletic department were the best in the district and made sure the athletes were pushed and encouraged to be the best they could be. The students were friendly and the teachers were engaging as well as personal. They were sure to let the students know that they were there to help them if only they would ask.
