7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school was very accommodating with our mid-year enrollment and handled everything quickly. One of its greatest strengths is that it’s relatively small — which means all the staff are, in some way, involved with every child. This created a warm, supportive environment where my daughter felt cared for and encouraged. During challenging moments, the staff were always kind, responsive, and ready to help. The quality of education is high.We only changed schools because of its location in relation to our home.She truly enjoyed her time there, especially the friendships with other children and the communication with staff.Our whole family, and Evelina in particular, are deeply grateful.Parent Review9mo ago13 Reviews - Askew Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter is in the GT program and loves her teachers. I’m a volunteer and have seen many staff go above and beyond with helping students and parents. From giving supplies, uniforms, bags of food, and just some of their time. Askew is home.Parent Review2y ago18 Reviews - Walnut Bend Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAmazing school! This is our first year at Grace and our son loves it. The teachers are caring and loving. The academics are robust and it’s been a positive experience for us so far. We would highly recommend this school to anyone that is looking for smaller classes (14 kids in our son’s class) and a solid foundation for learning. Grace was one of the first STEM certified schools in Texas and their overall approach to learning has been fantastic. Cannot recommend highly enough!Parent Review2y ago52 Reviews - Innovative Montessori School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageUpon the school visit, I was sold by the abundant classroom pets, the unique art pieces children made at the school, and the non-character policy the school carries (love it no uniform, and yet no Disney character dress-up). I've heard about the Montessori concepts, but I wasn't looking for Montessori in particular. But after the classroom visit, I KNEW this is the place! Looking back, I'm so grateful that Innovative goes the extra miles and brings up those parent education evenings, to educate parents of the Montessori concept, and classroom props, which gave me idea and better understanding of how they approach Maths (visualization, self-correction), practical life skills, and reading and writing, and to know what I could do at home. My child has been going there over two (2) years now, and have transitioned from the Toddler Class to the Early Childhood Classroom. We thought we potted trained our child in three (3) days, but it turned out that the school really prepared our child for it, and the majority of the work was already done there before we even started, and the same applies to her writing, reading and Maths now. When my child started daycare at 7-months old, she cried for almost four (4) weeks at drop-off. When my daughter started at Innovative, at 18 months old, she cried for only a couple of days, and then she walks off straight to her teacher and friends, without even looking at me, until now That's how you know those little ones truly like the place. I'm forever grateful to my neighbor for recommending Innovative to us. It's not like those big chains, where everything is so commercial, but the staff and teachers here genuinely care about what they do, as you can see from the classroom visit. I also love the small community feel and support. Ms. Kathryn the headmistress is always there with resources and answers on child rearing, with her big BIG heart! I STRONGLY recommend Innovative to parents who look for authentic education, with all the benefit of Montessori concept actualized, to bring up your child to be a self-motivated, independent and loving individual.Parent Review6y ago9 Reviews
