Congregation Brith Shalom

Both of my children have gone all the way through Condit. We have a child who is graduating 5th grade this year and are so sad to leave. Condit has caring teachers and a very engaged and wonderful principal. We have been so happy there and will miss it greatly!

This school is the vest ,I loved

If you could or want to afford a decent house in this area just for the school, then, think twice. The school is having a lot of student discipline issues; teacher student ratio is higher comparing to the other HISD good schools. Principal refused to hire a music teacher for already over two years. As a language magnet school, there is only one Spanish teacher to teach the entire school (800+) students who picked Spanish as their magnet course.

We used to love this school but the culture has drastically changed for the worse. Many teachers and both principals are extremely unkind and harsh with the kiddos, with admin not seeming to care since they have been at the school so long. We along with other parents constantly hear stories from our kids and their friends about extremely unkind behavior coming from the staff...so much that we question why we pay for private school when the staff does not seem to show or even care about leading by example with Christ-like character. There's also been so much student turnover as well as teacher turnover since we've been here. It's almost like many of the staff lost "why" they even decided to work at a Christian school - it's been very disheartening considering our children love their friends. Now we are looking elsewhere for a school that truly shows God's love, humility and grace to the students. We should have researched further as Veritas has never been recommended in parent groups and wasn't even recommended when we initially enrolled. Definitely do not recommend this place when talking to other families.

We love St. Mark’s. We have been a part of the community for three years and have two kids enrolled. The teachers genuinely care about the well being of our children and we have been amazed by the school leadership. Teachers have been open and honest with us about our kids strengths and areas of concern. We considered public school this past year for one of our kids but ultimately came to the conclusion that St. Mark’s offers a superior academic experience and community to our highly rated public school option. We honestly feel lucky to have our kids at St. Mark’s. It may not have the street cache of some other private schools, but we feel confident we will have academically prepared (and socially well adjusted) kids graduate.

I went to the school for 3 years Thear is absolutely no communication between the parents teachers or students if thear was it was always last minute . They also have a terrible run down building that should have been demolished years ago. It also had mold in the vents
