I was shocked reading a couple of the reviews about Steiner. This school is awesome. My children are in the Quest (GT) program and it is great. The parental involvement is wonderful. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school and we came from a private school which did not even compare.

One thing that concerns me about rating schools here is the lack of understanding that many have when it comes to the way schools are run. Teachers and principals have little power and most things are determined by a school board (and State Board) with those who want to run it like a business. That
... Read more is the problem. We have been running our schools as we needed to in the industrial age, but needs of our society have changed since then. Parents, instead of pulling your kids out of private school, educate yourself on the root problems, and get involved with what your school board and State board of Education are doing. Steiner has many very smart and hardworking teachers that take risks to not teach to this or any test. These are teacher who could drop out and go private, but instead, believe in your children.

Typical teach to the TAKS test school. I have since put my kids in a private school. I think the school has lost a lot of its appeal when they mysteriously ousted the principal a couple of years ago. GT program is a joke! Its a pull out program that has nothing to do with how your shild does in
... Read more the classroom and offers no support. GT kids are supposedly in cluster classrooms but that just means they are left on their own while the teacher struggles to teach the rest of the kids to pass the TAKS test! Parent involvement is high which is great yet overbearing. THe school is over crowded. The main problem is really a district problem and settling for averageness. Not a good place for GT or advanced kids. Read less

This is the poorest school my daughter has ever attended. Most parents think of it highly but that is likely because they haven't another school to compare it to. My 5th grade daughter (who is already in their advanced classes) is doing kindergarten work (the word 'I' was on her recent spelling test)
... Read more I told the principle who ushered me out of her office saying she sees nothing wrong with that. Incredulous behavior! My daughter has attended two other schools in other states and both were way above Steiner. My daughter has wasted a year. Incidently, her project the last two weeks?...coloring in a manual.

If your child is in special education or is not 'the average' student then I would avoid this school at all costs. Too many classes and children without enough leadership from the school and district. Some teachers are very inexperienced. The principal doesn't seemed involved at all with the parents.

The best public elementary school that I have ever come across! Sending your children to Steiner Ranch Elementary is more like sending them to an elite private school than a Texas public school. The teachers and staff are excellent, and there is 100% parent participation in the PTA. The large number

We feel that our children have received the best possible experience from attending Steiner Ranch. Our son that is now in 7th grade, started at SRE. Our daughter is currently in 4th grade.

Steiner Ranch Elementary is an exceptionally well-rounded school. I have had children in this school for eight years and speak from vast experience. It has always been a high-ranking performer on achievement tests, always in the top three for elementary schools in this district. It has a very involved
... Read more parent body and PTA that supports its teachers and students with various activities and funds for continuing education. They teach nutrition, they have wonderful PE and running programs, and the principal is overwhelmingly loved and respected by students and parents alike. The students are also taught to care for each other and every year they perform a 'pay it forward' activity/fundraiser to raise money for a cause of their choice. The school has a very warm and loving feel from the staff, children, teachers and parents. You would not be disappointed in this choice. Read less
