Harmony Science Academy - Cedar Park

I am a bus driver also a teacher, the stories I hear about children's days. The stories I hear from parents. The way these teachers talk to children, shut up, stupid, I don't care! Now days it is so easy to make a child feel so little & worthless ( yall have no idea what some of these children go through at home). Suicidal rates are so high! It is our job as teachers to make these children feel loved & wanted to make them feel worth something to make them feel like one day they will conquer the world. And yall sit here & do the total opposite! I have had a whole year driving these children so sweet excited everyday & I've seen a big difference at dropping off.

My kid was having a hard time in his 1st grade class and his teacher excluded him from activities in class and had a meeting set up to tell us he needed to get tested for a mental illness because he was “below average”. When we contacted the school about this, they were extremely disrespectful and dismissive. After that they gave up on my kid. Teachers and staff are absolutely terrible at this school. My kid was not comfortable being in that class.

Excellent teachers, strong leadership, and a positive learning environment. We couldn’t be happier with Deer Creek.

Our experience with Summit Christian Academy was deeply disappointing and, unfortunately, harmful to our child’s well-being. We enrolled our children with the hope of providing them a strong academic foundation grounded in Christian values such as compassion, grace, and support. Sadly, those values were not reflected in the school’s actions, but specifically as it related to the current Headmaster in charge. Prior to his arrival, we did not have this same experience, but unfortunately his actions were the main reason we decided to remove our child from an environment led by this individual. Over the most recent year at the school, our child faced ongoing challenges that were met not with understanding or support, but with dismissal, targeting and, at times, a lack of empathy from staff and leadership. Rather than working with us as partners to support our child’s development, the administration often took a rigid and judgmental approach that left our child feeling isolated, unheard, and emotionally distressed. We expected a nurturing environment where Christian principles were more than just words on paper, but instead lived out through kindness, patience, and humility. Instead, we witnessed a culture where certain students were favored, and others—especially my son who struggled—was marginalized, labeled and ultimately attacked. This was not the Christ-like guidance we were promised.Our child’s confidence and mental health were negatively impacted during their time at Summit Christian Academy. We eventually made the decision to withdraw him for his own emotional and spiritual well-being. While no school is perfect, it’s crucial that institutions claiming to provide Christian education actually reflect those teachings in their daily practices and interactions.We hope this review encourages thoughtful reflection and change within the school, so that no other child has to go through a similar experience.

My daughter has thrived academically and athletically at Hill Country. The teachers are awesome and her faith has grown. We are so blessed to have found this school.
