Junior: 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.... Read 67 reviews

Parent: This is our family's second year at SMH and our kids are thriving - even during the pandemic. Our oldest child started last year as a freshman in high school and has had the best experiences with fantastic teachers and engaging, fun activities. We chose SMH not only because of the academics, but also because of the opportunities the school offers. This year we moved our youngest child to SMH and despite the safety measures for Covid-19 (which have been comprehensive and impressive), he has made connections with his outstanding teachers, started sports and clubs, and is very happy with the decision to move schools. We are grateful for SMH!... Read 74 reviews

Freshman: It is such a warm community and has an amazing learning environment.The curriculum is above average with teachers pushing their students to be the best. The competitive academics are also exhilarating because there is always a challenge.I love how the teachers and staff are very caring.They always put the students metal health first which makes a huge impact.All teachers are exceptional in their field and are highly qualified.Every student at TMI is unique and is celebrated for it by others.The giving at TMI is also a virtue that welcomes everyone warmly. It is a culture that we"do on to others as we wish to be done to us."This results in a close community that gives and gives. Whether it be to TMI or the city around us, the TMI community always finds a way to leave a good impact. The sports has grown in the past couple years as well. With multiple sports being State runner ups, we will sure be back next year with our panther spirit.With all this being said, TMI is the place to be.... Read 58 reviews

Sophomore: There are many things that I like about Basis Shavano. First off, the school provides a wide variety of classes and extracurriculars students can choose from, enabling them to enroll into classes or clubs they actually like and giving them a chance to see what their future majors could be like. Not only that, the teachers at Basis are extremely helpful and nice, making the learning experience at Basis not bad at all. Did I mention the lunches? Definitely above-average. However, if there was one thing I could change about my experience at Basis would be the homework load. Basis is the type of school that challenges students in order to prepare them for college, and this is great, but since there isn't a cap on the amount of homework assigned per class, the upper-grade students receive much more work than necessary. Besides that, learning at Basis as a students has been great by far, and I most likely will attend my next high school year at Basis!... Read 61 reviews

Junior: Health Careers High School is by far the best high school anyone can attend here in San Antonio! Theres something here for everybody. No matter who you are or who you will be, you can learn a lot from Health Careers. With challenging courses and engaging teachers, it's impossible to be uninterested in learning. Not only that, the community is strong and supporting, as well as diverse. We have people of all kinds of backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, and race all welcoming and kind to one another. Even after the Pandemic, the sense of community and love still persisted and that is truly a blessing. Many graduates upon leaving have expressed that they felt prepared for college and some have even gone on to Medical School! Health Careers High School is the place to be for students in San Antonio. I simply cannot imagine my life without this beautiful school.... Read 626 reviews

However, our Fine Arts programs are exceptional! Our art, choir, orchestra, band, theater and speech and debate programs have all received outstanding awards and recognitions throughout the last two decades. There are dozens of electives and clubs you can join to make friends and find your passions and interests.... Read 660 reviews

Junior: There's so many opportunities at Johnson, and all the programs are so well managed. It's rare to find a school that's competitive at football, wrestling, basketball, band, orchestra, choir, and theater. Band and orchestra have even performed and competed at the national level! The academic programs are strong and produce incredible AP scores. It's an amazing school, no wonder we have more transfers every year.... Read 749 reviews

Alum: This school gives diverse learning opportunities through unconventional teaching methods. Through project based curriculums, combining lesson plans through all subjects, requiring a B average or higher to stay enrolled, 200+ hours of community service, two languages studied, international travel, and a focus in Honors/AP courses, this school goes above and beyond to prepare the creative minds of its students for College and the professional world. Being a free, non-tuition magnet school, it maintains a balanced demographic by lottery picking its students from all areas of the city. There needs to be more schools like this in America. The wonderful education given here is the education deserved by all students.... Read 289 reviews

Parent: This has been our first year at the Atonement catholic Academy. We moved from CA last summer and our main concern was to find a school for our sons with both high academic standards and Christian values. AA has it all. The teachers have exceeded our expectations, the staff is helpful and caring. We have met wonderful families that have welcomed our family as their own. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to be. There are rules, of course, but the learning environment is incredible. The kids are treated with love and respect. If you care about education and Catholic values I encourage you to visit our school. You won’t be disappointed!... Read 85 reviews

Alum: The faculty and staff at this school amaze me! They invest in the lives of their students, they seem equally passionate about enhancing a students education as well as their spiritual and emotional maturity, and are willing to go above and beyond to engage with their students and establish meaningful relationships with them. I met some amazing mentors through my teachers during my time here, but I also found a strong group of friends who were passionate about pursuing Christ. SACS provided a safe, encouraging, and fulfilling environment in which I could establish a firm idea of what it means to abide in Christ in my day to day life.... Read 185 reviews

Freshman: This is an incredible school! Students receive a Christ-centered education as well as the best in academics, fine arts, and athletics. The teachers nurture and encourage students. The coaches are also fantastic. They inspire players and will take their players to the next level. At chapel, students experience the presence of God and get to learn about His Word. One of the best parts of Trinity Christian is the community. From your first day, you will feel a part of the Trinity family. f you are looking for a Christ-centered education, wonderful teachers, great athletics, and a community, look no further. You have found the right place for you, Trinity Christian Academy.... Read 38 reviews

Parent: My children are in 4th and 5th grade at this time. Both have attended Wilderness Oak since Kindergarten. Both have learning disabilities and are dyslexic. At no time have I been anything other than thrilled that they are being taught by those with the highest standards of professionalism as well as the most sensitive and caring hearts for kids on a personal level. The administration, support personnel, and the custodial and food service personnel are second to none. I cannot think of one thing that I would change about this school and all that is offered there.... Read 4 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.... Read 11 reviews

We love the teachers at TPES. They are truly the difference in our school. When your child is moving up to the next grade, what surprises me is how you are fine with whomever you get because all the teachers are really good! Also, our PTA is incredibly active because we all love our school that much.... Read 1 review

Senior: I first came to Alamo Heights during my 8th grade. I was initially scared because I had never gone to a public school, but upon arriving, I found the people to be very friendly and the academics very rigorous. This all was enhanced when I went to Alamo Heights High School. For those who are considering or not considering Alamo Heights, I say that you should take a closer look because it's definitely the best high school in San Antonio (granted, I'm biased)! The school is small enough so that you can have real relationships with teachers who are passionate about what they teach. The academics are only hard if you sign up for the right courses, but it's definitely worth it in the end. And overall, the culture on campus is relaxed and positive. The parents at Alamo Heights are also a very involved group of parents, always getting what students need even when administration does not quite recognize any problems.... Read 329 reviews

Parent: All of my daughters have graduated from Castle Hills. The teachers are all extremely qualified, loving, caring, and challenge students to grow not only academically but in their walk with the lord. Many times my children have commented that it was through the mentoring and conversations with teachers that they were inspired to pursue their goals. The teachers were a partner in our children’s education and in encouraging them. I knew that what we were teaching at home and encouraging at home would be supported at the school. This is HUGE! The teachers are extremely qualified and excellent in the fields that they are teaching. This is evident in the classroom conversations that take place that I would hear about at home. My daughters were not only academically prepared to succeed in college but the Biblical integration, the life on life mentoring, the chapel programs, and the example set by the faculty and staff all served to encourage their faith and support them in life....
