2019 Best Schools in the San Antonio AreaAbout this List

Keystone School

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

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
• 48

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!

TMI Episcopal

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• 6-12
• 41

Niche User: 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 environment 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.

Health Careers High School

• Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), TX
• 9-12
• 501

Freshman: I've loved Health Careers since the first day. I'm a very shy and timid person, but everyone at Health Careers was so warm and welcoming. The teachers are challenging but they are also welcoming. They are here to help you succeed. They are also really understanding and supportive. We don't have many sports, but we have lots of fun clubs and activities! The dances and pep rallies are so much fun here! Everyone one is laughing and having a good time! As a freshman, I've learned and gained so much from this school than I ever have anywhere else. I truly love Health Careers and it has changed me from a self-hating introvert into a strong and confident extrovert!

International School of the Americas

• North East Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• 258

Senior: My experience at the International School of the Americas has been great so far. The teachers have great communication with students and are always there to help us. What I really like about ISA is the how every year we travel to different state based on what we're learning that year. Freshmen year we travel to Arkansas and learn how other countries deal with poverty. Sophomore year we travel to New Mexico and learn about assimilation and acculturation within tribes from all over the year. Junior year we travel to Alabama and learn more about the Civil Rights Movement, which is by far my favorite trip ever. And Senior year we fly to Washington D.C. and learn more about politics and get to see the important landmarks like Lincoln Memorial. ISA is a great school, and I'm very thankful to be graduating from this school.

Alamo Heights High School

• Alamo Heights Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• 300

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.

Senior: Excellent academics and extracurriculars, and definitely prepares students for the rigor of college courses! School spirit needs a bit of work, but besides that, this is a top tier school with especially exceptional fine arts and athletics programs.

• Great Hearts Texas, TX
• 6-11

Junior: Great Hearts is an amazing school that strives to create a culture of excellence in the pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty. I have loved every year that I’ve attended because of how much I’ve been able to grow as a student and a person. The teachers there truly care about the students’ growth and continue to help us succeed in and out of class. We focus a lot on discussing great texts and forming new ideas—instead of just memorizing facts, we seminar to find the truth together.

Johnson High School

• North East Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• 649

Senior: I have been attending Johnson all four years of high school and I am about to graduate soon this year! My time at Johnson has been amazing and I have learned so much there. Not only have I made amazing friends but I feel that the teachers have truly prepared me for college. Although I love the academics and the resources, Johnson does not have the best diversity or school culture. I am personally mixed race and there have been many times that I have felt outcasted. Despite this I have still found amazing people. I am a little sad to leave Johnson but I am more excited for what the future has in store for me next.

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.

Central Catholic High School

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• 9-12

Alum: CC is a San Antonio institution and excels at academics, sports and helping young boys become young men. CC is definitely not for everyone but if you want your son to learn what ot tales to become a man and to serve others while being held accountable, this is the place. In addition, the Brotherhood (network) which spans generations will help your son in the future, especially when it comes to career amd business. Many call it the Central Catholic Mafia because we get thkngs done to help eachother and there are very many accomplished alumni in business and government.
