Parent: Emery cares about their kids -- period. They have conceived of and created a culture of student-driven advocacy that is evident in talking to any EWS student. They want the kids to push themselves, they want them to experience discomfort, they want them to speak for themselves, they want them to find the paths that are unique to each of them and they want to help each of them along the way. They want parents to learn how to truly support their students without simply doing for them.... Read 82 reviews

Junior: My experience at Incarnate Word Academy has been amazing. We are a small, all-girl, and Catholic High School in downtown Houston. The teachers here have the highest degrees in their field and have a passion for teaching. They work with you and will take the time to help you with what you need help with. We have many honor and AP classes, which I have taken a few, and the classes are absolutely amazing. There are no boys here at our school but that is what brings the students closer together. We are a small school, with 400 students in total, the students are really close; whether, it is in sports, clubs, or in classrooms. I have been in Cross Country and Track here since freshman year. Even though our team is small compared to other schools, we always place top 10 at state. We have the best coaches, they played in college and Coach the sport here! Incarnate Word Academy has brought me many friends and has opened up many opportunities for me.... Read 165 reviews

Senior: Coming from a large middle school, the Environment at Clear Horizons was quite a change. Here, you arent surrounded by random peers and thousands of other students. At clear Horizons, we are family. There are around 500 kids in my school which is shocking to outsiders. The best thing about this school is the support system that you couldn't get at public schools. Everyone knows who you are and you know who everyone else is too. You grow relationships and bonds with the teachers and the most of the students. Everyone youre surrounded by is here to help when needs and support your goals. I have made friends that stick with me for the rest of my life and im so honored to have been accepted into Clear Horizons. This school allows you to prepare for college with its dual diploma program, form life long friendships, and try new things like all the different clubs and activities on campus. I wouldn't get this type of education anywhere else in the district. Clear Horizons is one of a kind!... Read 364 reviews

Senior: Clear Lake may seem intimidating at first, however, the environment I've been surrounded by has been nothing short of positive and friendly. The many people I've met and created bonds have made everlasting relationships that I know will carry on forever in life. Secondly, the education I've received here has prepared me for the future such as college. I've noticed my motivation to learn and be the best version of myself to be embraced because of the staff and peers at Clear Lake High School. Additionally, opportunities that can expand a person's experience in various fields, such as politics or STEM, can be found at Clear Lake. There are numerous clubs that have added an immense amount of immersive experiences. I've joined the Hindu Club and became an Ambassador. Along with creating PowerPoints and leading meetings, I've educated myself on a new religion, expanding my perspective on how people approach their religions. Clear Lake is full of opportunities for every student.... Read 422 reviews

Parent: Lutheran South Academy is a fantastic K-12 school has been an AMAZING experience for our 3 children! We have been at LSA for 14 years and could not be more thankful for the strong foundation that our kids have received in both academics and spirituality. Our children have always felt safe, secure, and loved by the LSA staff and community. In addition to an excellent education and outstanding facilities, our children have been able to participate and experience a wide variety of athletics, fine arts, and even service opportunities. At all three levels (lower, middle, and high school), the staff at LSA are caring, high quality, service minded professionals that are committed to the families of LSA. We are proud to say WE ARE PIONEERS and our children will always remember this school with love and respect!... Read 111 reviews

Works Here: I love teaching at Grace Christian Academy. I enjoy the freedom to teach my subjects, history and social studies, from a Christian perspective. Our quality program is designed to bring glory to God. Our school is host to a diverse group of students from around the world. Students, teachers, and staff enjoy learning about about the many nations represented in our school. Weekly chapels, with a student-led worship team, provide a time for students and staff to reflect on God’s Word. The school offers volleyball, football, basketball, tennis, baseball and softball, track and field, and soccer. We have a strong elementary and middle school music program. We are currently striving to enhance our high school music opportunities. I encourage you to explore the opportunities a GCA education can provide for your family.... Read 32 reviews

They have grades pre-k through 12th grade. The staff is very good, it is a small school, so everyone knows each other. The only thing I would change is the high school experience, you don't really get that here at HGA.... Read 6 reviews

Senior: The general atmosphere is one of safety and community, and many students feel that they can truly be themselves. The administration is always actively trying to maintain this atmosphere of safety, inclusivity, and community. The teachers are always open and receptive to criticism and the grievances of the student body, whether it is concerning the classroom or issues in the community. Most of the issues we have come from our limited funding and resources, since we rely upon the generosity of donors, but we do an excellent job of making do with what we have. Teachers are often stretched to their very maximum: they must be multifaceted and take on a diverse range of roles outside of teaching. They are dedicated to the school, although it can be extremely stressful and overwhelming. It absolutely takes a very special and unique type of teacher to work here, but usually they are well-intentioned, they enjoy the students and teaching, and genuinely want to be here....

Parent: My 3 boys have attended FBCA for the last 3 years. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional education and nurturing environment they provide for all three of my boys The teachers that have taught my boys have all had a major impact on their academic and spiritual development. The teachers and administration at FBCA truly embodies, the Christian values we want for our family.. The small class sizes allow for personalized attention and meaningful connections with both teachers and peers. The curriculum strikes the perfect balance between rigorous academics and biblical world view teachings, creating a well-rounded educational experience. Moreover, the school's commitment to community service and outreach programs instills a sense of compassion and empathy in the students, preparing them to become responsible global citizens. I would wholeheartedly recommend First Baptist Pasadena Christian Academy to any parent seeking a Christian education.... Read 57 reviews

Parent: Best school! I have 3 enrolled in Beta, and they love going to school each day. It's such an energetic and joyful atmosphere. I could not ask for a better learning environment for them. They use the whole-brain teaching method, which is is really fun and engaging. I would have loved learning that way in school. They also focus on soft skills, and it's amazing to see the change in my two elementary schoolers. Everyone is so kind, and the teachers and staff really care about the success, safety and well-being of the students. I would recommend Beta to anyone!... Read 17 reviews
