Read what parents are saying about Ambassadors Preparatory AcademyMy daughter has been at this school for four years now and we have never had a problem that was not addressed immediately and or resolved. This school has awesome teachers and students, my daughter has learned quite well for her age. And though we had part remote learning last yeart and will have some this new 2021 school year that I truly believe that my daughter will fall right in place for her grade this year due to her excelling prior to this pandemic. I will definitely send my child to this school.
Posted by a parent on 8/14/2020I would not ever recommend a parent to send their child to this school unless your child is a genius and you don't plan on challenging Dr. Williams about anything.
Posted by a parent on 11/4/2018APA is a great school as long as you can tolerate Dr Williams is what I was told before enrolling my child. Dr Williams is at times aggressive if you challenge her. She will approach you and inquiry about why you are dropping your student off late or picking them up early, even if other parents are around. All of this is personally intrusive. Additionally, there isn't a written policy stating you can not check your student out unless she finds the reason appropriate. Lastly, the board for the charter and school are intertwined. There is no immediate recourse when you have an issue with Dr Williams. You can not go to the TEA website and get contact information for the board members, you can only leave a message with...Dr Williams. Dr Williams is the principle and superintendent and her husband is the dean of students. Our government has better checks and balances than this school.
Posted by a parent on 2/27/2017Excellent school! Teachers work very hard to help the students. They stay until 5:00pm to provide help to students who need it. The school also provides opportunities for students to travel out-of-state and out-of-country, thus, giving them a different perspective, making them more aware of what is happening outside Texas.
Posted by a teacher on 7/19/2016As a teacher at Ambassadors Preparatory I can honestly say that we have a single-minded emphasis on academic excellence. Any student or parent will find that if one's desire is to improve and grow in the 21st century skills necessary as a contemporary citizen of the world APA is the place to be.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere are some great things at this school. The majority of teachers really care about their students and provide a strong educational foundation. However , the administration , particularly the superintendent ignores issues , rather brushing them under the rug for appearance sake. Including when it is reported a teacher is mistreating students. Teachers are overworked and taken advantage of to add another “checkmark” on the list of what is done. That said , the teachers here really care about the kids to be able to work here. So for many kids it is a very positive experience.Teacher Review2y ago - Morgan Elementary Magnet School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThey emphasize and promote intensive teaching with competent teachers who promote a culture of learning and development mostly due to the compensation the school receives when the students perform on state tests.. This a positive in every way where all the students and the school benefits...If they didn't have an incentive, this school would perform at average or below standards due to the the area which is economicly disadvantaged and where English is a second language for many if not he majority...I applaud the state for setting the school up this way...it is a win win for all of its students regardless of their background....Parent Review9y ago - Parker El

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTo be quite honest, we were really nervous to send our son there. He had never stayed with a non-family member and now we were going to send him to daycare. Let me tell you, we could not be happier. The staff there truly love the kids. I'm constantly in awe of how they're able to manage and keep smiles on their faces. Our son is so spoiled and loved. Since starting EEP, he's really come out of his shell. The school is student focused and family centered. There are opportunities to get to know more families, my son has a great little group of friends, and the staff is so awesome. The hours can be a concern, but we do early drop off and extended day, which means that he's there from 7:45-3pm, which is pretty much a school day. If those hours work for you, DO IT. You definitely won't regret sending your kid(s) there.Parent Review5y ago - Burnet Elementary School
