I have three children who have attended Pleasant Hill. This is our 8th year of having at least one child there. Overall Pleasant Hill is great. Two of my children have received extra services and testing for disabilities and I’ve been very happy with the staff and how they’ve helped my students with these hurdles. Very happy to be at Pleasant Hill.

Both of my kids have attended Knox Wiley. My oldest is now in high school, and my youngest is finishing his last year here. Overall, it’s a very average experience.When my oldest was enrolled, he received special education services. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much that felt “special” about it — the feedback from teachers often sounded like a broken record: “I have to tell him a lot that he needs to focus.” There wasn’t a lot of meaningful support beyond that.As for my youngest, we’ve seen both positives and negatives.1.Bullying is a real problem — and it’s something you’ll need to stay aware of.2.Teacher quality is hit or miss — some truly care, while others seem to be just going through the motions.3.Band is in a world of its own — while the band sounds incredible, the directors seem more focused on building their own resumes. Multiple parents have shared concerns about directors belittling or yelling at students. Holding kids accountable is important, but repeated reports of yelling cross the line.Lastly, while this school isn’t in Austin, drug issues are still present — it’s important not to assume it’s completely safe.I wouldn’t say Knox Wiley is the worst option out there, but I do recommend staying involved and keeping a close eye on your child’s experience.

Wish they had more extra curricular options for school. Wish they had more lunch options as well. Otherwise okay campus.
