I went to this school for one year and did not have a good experience at all. The teachers cannot control their kids so there is always chaos. Bullying is VERY common and nothing is done about it. There recently was a big fight that ended up on local news, and it turns out that there were already previous disagreements that the school did nothing about. The best thing they can do about it is give you some pointless paper that is written out like this:I promise to not go near sally.Signed:__________(Your Name)Most of the time the parents aren't even notified about anything their child is doing! The teachers try their best, but eventually, they give up. I'm going to use math class as an example. We are handed a pamphlet for every "Unit" that we have. they act like they can spend 1-2 days on one section of the unit and it will be magically downloaded into our brains. A normal unit is probably 2 weeks long, which sounds like a lot, but since they teach to the standardized test, the material is crammed into us in a very short period of time. This leads to us forgetting some of the material before the test. I get that this is a problem with most public schools, but the teachers can at least try to E-mail us back when we contact them about something. This problem is mostly with math and other subjects, and depending on what teacher you have (Shout out Ms. Fancher), reading/language won't be your concern. Another common problem is the "Counseling" at Beck. When you have a problem at Beck, you will most likely be pulled into the counseling office and a woman will tell you to write your problem down on paper. I promise you will not be contacted again unless you complain and do the process over again. I will say that any sort of learning disability is handled very well, and if your child needs extra help if you call the office they will TRY to get it taken care of. One thing I did really like about Beck was the choir. (Shout out Ms.Skillman) If you are torn between your child going to public school instead of private school personally I think that private school would be a better option. If you are going to this school, I would try to reach out to people on the first week that you go there so you are not stuck getting bullied and picked on a lot.

Cinco Ranch is a pretty decent high school as far as Katy ISD schools go but it's at the lower end of the better Katy schools. It doesn't quite make the top tier that Jordan, Seven Lakes, and Tompkins are in but it's solid.

My son was at Exley for 2 and a half years! We have had the best experience. He has level 2 autism and we felt so lucky to have the kindest teachers and staff who truly accommodated to his support needs. When they say inclusion they really mean it. For any special education needs parent, I know how daunting it is. But you can rest assured that at Exley your child will be safe, so happy and is going to thrive.
