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 629 reviews

Senior: Reagan High School can be a very prestigious high school at times. Your class rank and grades are taken very seriously among the teachers and students. 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 664 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 754 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 292 reviews

Senior: Boerne Champion offers students many opportunities starting from the moment they walk into the doors their freshman year. They provide many options for both students who know what they want to study in college as well as options who students who may still be questioning their futures. The faculty and staff work hard in order to prepare students for their futures by providing challenging courses but also by providing support for the students. The classes are challenging yet engaging and more than prepare the students for what they will come across after graduation wether they are going to a university, community college, trade school etc. I am fully confident that my four years at Boerne Champion have prepared me as well as my peers in the best ways possible to succeed in the years to come....

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 actually moved here for the school! Our school has a welcoming environment and even though we are growing, administrators and teachers know each and every student. 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

Alum: Alamo Heights High School is full of funding and opportunities that exponentially benefit its students. The culture of the school is very much a double edged sword; the majority of students are high performing and of above average intelligence, which propels individuals to be as successful as their peers, however students of average intelligence are often left to believe they are “dumb”. The community of Alamo Heights is predominantly white, and is generationally consistent. There are many students whose parents and grandparents went to their high school. The resources and education quality made accessible to students is unlike anywhere else. The hyper-privileged, exclusive community surrounding the school can be harmful to “outsiders” or minorities.... Read 332 reviews

Not only do I always feel at home here at Brandeis but district assures that I have what I need to pass until graduation. The counselors introduced to me the finest and best classes they could offer to me that fit my portfolio, which I was thankful for. Thank you Brandeis!... Read 798 reviews

Works Here: I am a proud teacher at SST. I have taught in other districts in the public domain, but SST is so much different. It is a family! The students who attend here are amazing. They inspire me to be a better educator. Our students have designed and created 3-D printed hands for children born with missing limbs. I am in awe of the innovative future leaders, doctors, cyber security warriors, computer programmers and other STEM professionals that attend here. These students are going to change the world! I have been part of this family for 5 years and plan to stay here until I retire. In my opinion, there is no better school out there! The administration treats the faculty with respect and I feel appreciated each day. More importantly, the administration care very much about the students, as well. Many were former educators or counselors at this school. They know all the students and really listen to students' concerns. SST truly is the best place to be!... Read 143 reviews

Senior: Tom C. Clark has extremely attentive advanced teachers that dedicate time for their student's success. It doesn't leave students behind and creates a network of assistance and safety that fosters the possibility of furthering one's education past graduation. The building is always clean and counselors are always available. Personally, I was zoned for a different school in NISD but chose to attend Clark because of all its merits and awards. It offers many and diverse clubs and sports. And perhaps most notably, it is the only school in NISD to participate in Model UN and has one of the most populated Latin clubs in the state!...
