Incarnate Word Academy-Elementary School

I wouldn't send my kids here. The administration has a high turn over rate and the teachers talk trash about the students. You go to speak with someone and the lady in the front is rude. Some of the teachers are wonderful and really care about the kids the rest are really bad.

Great community, staff and students at Sam Houston Elementary!

I switched from TG Allen to this school thinking it was going to be better, but my experience here has been very bad. it seems like all they care about is money and their numbers and how they look online funny how they have their Google ratings turned off and you can't even read them on Facebook, they don't have a set time for when they close the gate 3:17-3:20 they usually wait till the line has died a bit then close it and take all the kids inside and making have to get off your vehicle and pick them up inside then make you sign a paper that you picked them up late, they charge if they have pajama day when other don't they try and get money so may different ways, if you are late they make you feel very uncomfortable out saying they close at a certain time also the front desk lady ALWAYS had some sort of attitude and it's not very welcoming! it like it's always an inconvenience to her if you need to go to her window and ask her a question or need something. my kids will be will be going back to TG allen i made a huge mistake thinking this would be better when tg allen felt more like a home, more welcoming and love and felt like they cared for the kids more rather then their image.

One of the best pre schools and child care centers in CC! Their staff have been there for over 20 years and their Director and assistant are two very intelligent experienced young ladies who care so much about their staff, students, parents, families and center. Best part about it their tuition is the lowest in all of CC and it includes delicious full meals breakfast and lunch plus snacks. And the quality care the staff gives there is no doubt that they are all there because they truly care and not about the money. Their faith in Jesus and making sure the children learn about him at an early age is of up most importance and amazing!

My son is about to begin his third year at First Baptist School, and my daughter will be starting her first year in the Pre-K 2 program in the upcoming fall semester. We have been immensely impressed from day one with everything FBS has to offer, from the loving, nurturing environment to the academic and biblical curriculum.My son is in Pre-K this year, and he can already read and spell simple words and combine phonemes, and he is able to do simple mental addition and subtraction. He can also count beyond 20 at only four years old, and he loves to read and write on his own, which tells me that his teachers have helped him develop an intrinsic love of learning. As a public school teacher myself, I can't express how important that is. They've made learning fun for him, and he values knowledge and understanding, and every day he tells his sister that she needs to come to his school because it is so much fun and she will learn so much.We were very sad to learn that they did away with the 1-5 grade level program for the upcoming school year, but I am sure that times will change again and eventually it will be re-opened.My husband went to school here, and his mother used to teach here years ago and was on the board of directors for many years thereafter, so our family has a ton of pride and faith in FBS. If you're looking for a school that will both nurture and teach your child while fostering a sense of wonder and interest in learning of all sorts, look into the Little Lambs Pre-K 2 & Pre-K 3 Programs, and the Pre-K and Kinder programs at FBS; hopefully, we can spread the word about how wonderful this school is so that the upper grades may begin enrolling again in the coming years.

If you are looking for a private school, this one is the best, hands down. From the car to the classroom, at least 5-6 people greet my son by name and say good morning. As a teacher myself, I have so much respect for how they run things here. It feels like a big family and they genuinely care about your child and how they learn. My son is pretty adhd but his teachers are amazing with him and I can't believe how much better he is in a school setting and the year isn't even over. The way they provide structure and discipline is consistent but loving. This is my first child that has been in school and I am amazed at how much he has learned just in PK3, and he comes home so excited about what they are doing in class. They offer Aftercare, which he loves. He gets grumpy when I pick him up early. I love that this time helps him burn some energy out and everyone that works there is so sweet. I love all the activities they have throughout the year that make it feel like a community building atmosphere--even beyond the school community. The Halloween Carnival is such a blessing to all Corpus families and it is fun to be a part of that. I also love that this school is small but mighty. I feel like the curriculum is more challenging than public school but it can be since class sizes are smaller and they are more capable of working with your student on an individual level. I am a supporter of public schools, but I think it is so important to start them out with a solid foundation and St. Pats is definitely that. I really don't have anything negative to say about it, its been a huge blessing to my family and I wanted to share in case anyone else is struggling to find something that fits the needs of their child.
