2022 Best Schools in the San Antonio Area

Keystone School

• Private School
• SAN ANTONIO, TX
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.17 out of 5  63 reviews

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 63 Reviews

Saint Mary's Hall

• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.26 out of 5  69 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 69 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.

Senior: The teachers are great! The academic program is challenging yet very good. The staff is also very helpful. My counselor was fantastic in my guide to scholarships and college readiness. I feel like Reagan really prepared me for college. And the people there made it worthwhile. There are a plethora of clubs that make every single student feel like they belong somewhere. I made so many friends here. Everything about Reagan was the best of the best. As a student who attended three different high schools, I have to say that Reagan held my most favorite memories...Read 644 Reviews

BASIS San Antonio - Shavano Campus

• BASIS Charter Schools - Texas, TX
• 6-12
• Rating 3.59 out of 5  49 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 49 Reviews

• Rating 4.15 out of 5  179 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 179 Reviews

International School of the Americas

• North East Independent School District, TX

• Rating 4.29 out of 5  282 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 282 Reviews

The Atonement Catholic Academy

• Private School
• SAN ANTONIO, TX
• PK, K-12
• Rating 3.57 out of 5  81 reviews

Parent: We hoped to find a school with undoubtedly great academics and coherent faith formation. Atonement has vastly exceeded our expectations A For example, our children are being exposed to math subjects (Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry) at very early age, perhaps that's why our high schooler processes Math with unbelievable ease. Our fourth grader can analyze a sentence and know confidently if it has proper composition and punctuation. The high school academic curriculum is very profound and very demanding. I know that my children will be broadly prepared for college. The teachers are totally committed to help each student exceed his/her personal potential. But if I have to single out what I value most from our Atonement experience is the faith formation. We have found the school where teachers, staff and parish, are giving their very best to help our kids see themselves as children of a loving God; to see their decisions as an act of correspondence and stewardship. Choir is amazing too!...Read 81 Reviews

BASIS San Antonio Primary - North Central Campus

• Rating 3 out of 5  9 reviews

Parent: As mentioned, there is considerable amounts of homework. I will admit, there was a time when we had to get tutoring or use Khan Academy, even though my wife and I were secondary educators and administrators for many years. ...My son did dip in his reading slightly according to his STAAR score, but his curiosity for learning, particularly in Math and Science has increased dramatically. There are a great deal of students from all over the world, with a cadre of diverse teachers and students. I like this as this helps my child get a well rounded, more universal or international perspective. The teachers will work with you and the administrators seem to take care of issues as they become aware of them. The teachers also seem to be cultural competent and are getting acclimated to Culturally relevant and response curricula delivery. This was the best decision my wife and I ever made. Looking forward to a brighter year...Read 9 Reviews

The Christian School at Castle Hills

• Private School
• SAN ANTONIO, TX

• Rating 4.04 out of 5  113 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...Read 113 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

Senior: Antonian is such a great school, that has an even more supportive community that encompasses it! Not only do they provide and amazing education for all, but have numerous State winning athletic programs, such as Basketball, Cross Country and Volleyball. Their cheer and dance programs are also outstanding as they continue to bring National Championships to the school as well as being great spirit leaders for the school. The school offers so many different clubs and organizations with excited staff that are eager to engage with their students with their endeavors. The campus ministry program is fantastic as they offer IHS retreats for students of all grade levels, Kairos retreats exclusively for seniors, have retreats for every grade level, allow students to help lead weekly mass as Extraordinary ministers, lectors and be in choir.

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

Brandeis High School

• Rating 4.01 out of 5  775 reviews

Senior: So far, Brandeis has been great! I am a rising senior and I've never had a problem at Brandeis. The teachers are dedicated and the student body is diverse. In many of my classes, the teachers instruct in a way that prioritizes student learning. The number of resources available to help students is staggering. ...The school also reminds students that there is more to life than grades. With its almost four pages list of clubs and organizations at the school, I believe anyone can find a place to belong at Brandeis. Personally, I am involved in the school orchestra, NHS, and various other STEM-related clubs. ...The atmosphere is usually relaxing at Brandeis. I have walked through practically every hall and have never felt unsafe. Even at very back halls behind the gyms.The culture is also very strong. Brandeis students are proud to be at Brandeis, and we show it at the football games with our rival school.Overall, it was a pleasure to attend the school, and I hope it will continue to be so.Read 775 Reviews
