Noel Grisham Middle School

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.

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.

We have serious concerns about how this school handles discipline and academics. It strongly feels like our child is being singled out and unfairly targeted, with disproportionately heavy consequences compared to other students. This ongoing pattern has caused significant stress for our child and family.Additionally, the school failed to provide two core high school subjects for approximately 2–3 months, which are essential and tested subjects. During this time, no proper communication was made to parents, and no timely or effective action was taken to address the issue. This lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable, especially when it directly impacts students’ education and academic progress.We expect fairness, open communication, and responsible leadership from a school. Unfortunately, our experience has fallen far short of those expectations.

Harmony Science Academy Cedar Park has been a wonderful experience for my family. My two boys attend the school, and my 3rd grader has really grown both academically and socially. He has made great friends, feels part of a strong community, and I have seen great progress in his learning. I am very thankful for the supportive teachers and positive environment at the school.
