First, to the parent who submitted the coment about taking his child back to the public School system- a charter school is a PUBLIC School. SST receives the same money from State and Federal agencies, but does not follow a specific core curriculum. Your tax dollars are better spent here than any traditional
... Read more public school in San Antonio. The Principal is also the District administrator, because SST is it's own LEA (Local Education Agency). If you feel that there are kinks to be worked on, don't just take your children out of SST, become involved in how to improve the school climate. I have not had any bad experience with staff or any of the cirriculum that my active invlvement did not solve.

Although this school marks high in the TAKS testing, it lacks in organization on the administrative side. The school is in a constant 'new year' feel as the administrators constantly juggle to keep the students in line as well as keeping the parents informed. If you look for the Principal of the school,

I am going to remove my 6th grade son out of this charter school and place him back into the public school system. I would give this school 2 more years to get all the kinks out before I ever reconsider sending my child here again. By then this school should be a wonderful asset to the San Antonio Education Community. But until then, public school it is. Read less
