4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI’ve been a parent of this school for the past 10 years consecutively. I am on my 3rd child being a student here. While my older two had much better experiences, the past 2 years here have been a nightmare. From the principal change to the staff. It’s very unwelcoming, the teachers are extremely hard on kindergarten and first grade students who are adjusting to school. I’m actually in the process of pulling my student out because I feel she is being targeted by staff. It makes no sense to me why a 1st grader would be “failing”. They are monitored and marked for every little thing such as forgetting to raise their hand and answering out loud. While I agree that the structure and discipline is necessary, every child does not remember and learn the same. So marking her down behavior points is not effective. Students didn’t have to raise their hand in pre-school regularly so it’s an adjustment. From the start they have been very hard on my child and it’s concerning. I’ve spoken to other parents who have not had this problem with their children but theirs haven’t had this with the same concerns admitting that their kids done raise hands all the time but don’t get married for it. It’s weird and concerningParent Review1mo ago11 Reviews - Raye-Allen Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have two sons that have been at this school since kindergarten. Our older sons went to a different school. Overall we were pleased with both but this school has exceeded our expectations. We worried initially based on the schools previous scores but after meeting with the teachers and doing tours we were confident this was the right decision. Since then the school has continued to do better and our sons have both excelled. We always make sure to tell anyone that has questions about this school about our experience.Parent Review6y ago13 Reviews - Montessori Schools of Central Texas(temple Campus)

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have had such a wonderful experience with this Montessori school. With children who are 4, 7, and 10 years old, we have been able to see firsthand how the school supports children at every stage of their development.What stands out most to us is how much the teachers genuinely know and care about each child. They recognize that every child learns differently and provide the encouragement, guidance, and independence that help them grow academically, socially, and personally. Our children are challenged to think for themselves, take responsibility for their work, and develop a true love of learning.We also really appreciate the balance between strong academics and character development. The school provides a nurturing Christian environment where our children are taught kindness, respect, responsibility, and good values while receiving an excellent Montessori education.Having three children in different age groups has given us a unique perspective, and we have been impressed by the consistency of the school’s philosophy across the classrooms. Each of our children is seen as an individual, yet they are all part of a close-knit school community.We are incredibly grateful for the teachers and staff who pour so much into our children. It is a blessing to have a school where we feel our children are known, supported, challenged, and cared for. We highly recommend this Montessori school to families looking for a nurturing environment with a strong academic foundation and a genuine commitment to the whole child.Parent Review1mo ago21 Reviews - St Marys Catholic School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAcademics are subpar. Punishments are cruel and not disclosed to parents. Retaliation towards whistleblowers. Financials are not fully transparent. Art room floods multiple times a year and staff isn’t aware for days to get someone to dry it out. Special education is not offered. Students are not challenged or given advanced work or opportunities. Class sizes are at max capacity. Competition is discouraged. Teachers have to teach art and science as no staff for those positions. Technological opportunities for students are out dated. Library is not accessible and fully functional to students. Teachers are not given supplies and equipment to perform their jobs. Disciplinary actions are biased and focused on nepotism.Parent Review3y ago49 Reviews - The Montessori School Of Central Texas
