Parent: Rising Scholars Academy has changed my daughter’s life. Before RSA, she went to a terrible middle school with horrible teachers, but after going to RSA her mood changed significantly and she says the teachers at RSA are so kind and listen to all her needs. She loves the community and tells me she feels really safe because of the security guards by the door. She especially loves the clubs and has made several new friends. Overall, we really recommend RSA without a doubt, nothing negative has happened at any STISD schools!... Read 10 reviews

Senior: Some experiences are life changing and Marine Military Academy is among those. No matter who you are, change is inevitable and unavoidable creating results that literally propel you out into the world. Nothing is sluggish about MMA, nothing is disorganized or without intent. Nothing is accidental in the daily structure provided. I am no longer unmotivated academically, I now have goals and a certainty that there is always a path to achieving them. I believe in my own self worth. I understand the intricacies of team work and the chain reaction when a part of a team does not work. No longer am I dependent on others for critical spontaneous decision making. I have learned to trust in my own judgement and think on my feet. I have learned to lead as well as to follow. My transformation has come from the inside out and serves me well in any challenge I find myself faced with. Thank you MMA for the future you have helped me strive for.... Read 41 reviews

Harmony Public Schools - North Texas, TX•

Senior: I have been at Harmony since the 4th grade and now I am a senior and still in the same school. I didn't like Harmony at first but it taught me discipline and education. I was never into robotics but now I am captain of my robotics team because Harmony encouraged me to join and further excel within my education and even extra curricular activities. I really enjoy how small the school is because I adapted to having that one on one time with the teachers and knowing my piers very well so build relationships. Although Harmony was small they provided so many opportunities for my education. I will graduate with college credits, going to college and knowing what I will study, I have a lot of knowledge about financial aid, and a plan for my future. The best thing I love about Harmony is the fact that if you are on free or reduced lunch then your dual credit is paid for.... Read 25 reviews

The school is nicely secured which allows the students to focus on their studies without having to worry about their safety. Overall Los Fresno's is a excellent school that will allow you to have a good high school experience.... Read 549 reviews

Alum: This school is one of my favorite high schools in the world. I enjoyed it because you get to experience God in a cool and fresh way. Activities are sometimes done once in a blue moon, and they are fun. Seniors get to go on a Senior Trip, possibly out of the country; the entire school gets to go on a trip to Mo-Ranch! Obviously, it's not free, but it's a great experience and all the teachers are very nice and they can become your best friends. You can make friends easily. It's so much fun. It's a total blessing. Totally recommend!... Read 26 reviews

Senior: IDEA College Prep San Benito is not only a great school but also a necessary school that has provided many kids with the opportunity to get an education, proper breakfast and lunch, recreation, and diversity with their facilities. The Rio Grande Valley isn't the best in terms of education and has a long way to go, yet with IDEA public schools that has been changing drastically since hundreds of students from low income households are both going to college and graduating with a degree of 4 or more years and achieving their dream jobs helping hundreds of others in the process. Being from a low income household myself knowing that counselors and teachers are there helping me find scholarships, schools, majors, and other important and useful things provides hope and support that I will go to college without having to put off college to go earn tuition fees....

Alum: While the curriculum wasn't very challenging, the help that I received from my college counselors and my college based courses helped me find the University which I am at now. I am very grateful for the guidance that I received in my journey to, and now through college. The faculty there made me feel that I was getting the most amount of help possible in that regard. Whether it be in my college applications, or helping me choose which university would be for me. Their counseling team is unmatched in help.... Read 39 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....
