SOUTHHAVEN Plan in Saratoga by D.R. Horton
Granbury, TX 76049

I have never been in a school where there is more communication and feeling of family. It is very apparent that both the staff and admin live their jobs and pour into the students 100%. My 4th grade son CRIED on his last day because his teacher was so amazing. My kids beg to not miss school because they make it fun and engaging. They teach to the kids on their levels. My son has a learning disability and I had to fight his old school to even test him, AES has far exceeded our expectations in making sure his needs were met. Test scores are phenomenal but they aren’t teaching to the test and are having a blast! The school you go to, to feel heard and loved!

GHS is a great high school for Granbury students. They have a huge array of classes for your child to choose from through their CTE (Career & Technical Education) program! They are focused on helping your student prepare for life in the real world, whether they are thinking of going to college, a tech school and getting right into the work force. Their Honors/AP courses have some truly outstanding teachers and will provide your student with an opportunity to really challenge themselves. Their regular courses are amazing and there are so many opportunities for extra activities like sports, band, etc... Teachers usually keep in touch through progress reports, report cards and will generally communicate any additional information you or your student might need to know. Their campus is large, clean and airy - it's beautifully designed and most classrooms have ample space. Just like other schools - the halls are pretty crowded walking to and from classes, but that's just par for the course at most schools here. The doors open early and your student can com early if they want to hang out with friends, have breakfast and study for classes together. So far, my son is enjoying his time here, making more friends daily and truly appreciates all the teachers and staff here. It's clear to me that they all are working extremely hard to make sure their students have all the support they need to make it through high school and into the real world. I'm also happy to see their security team so actively helping on campus in mornings and afternoons (traffic can be a nightmare, but it would be totally unmanageable without their amazing team). All in all, GHS is a wonderful high school and if you stay active and involved in your child's education, they can thrive here!

Acton Middle School was a great experience for my son who transferred mid-year from a state that had students out of school for a long time during Covid. He immediately made friends and was given any extra support he needed to catch up in all of his classes. He was able to transfer to extremely similar classes as compared to his old school (honors courses, art, and tech). Several of his teachers (especially Math and Science!) took time out of their schedules to get him caught up with TEKS requirements for his classes. His new friends really guided him through campus life and culture and accepted him as part of their group immediately. We are extremely grateful to the staff at AMS for making our transition to a new state and school go very smoothly. His teachers kept in touch through reports cards, class reports and were always ready to help and respond to anything. They are a lot of extra activities (sports, band, choir) for your student to be involved in over here. They also make sure to recognize the students who have worked hard on their academics and other activities - they have parties and award ceremonies too. Our experience with the AMS staff was great - everyone was professional, kind and welcoming. Yeah - the halls can be a little crowded moving through, but all Granbury schools are bursting at the seams given the huge growth here. My son has moved onto high school, but stills speaks very highly of AMS, his teachers and friends!
