Georgetown High School

I used to go there and I loved it sooo much it was so fun but not when people would get into fights and arguments and stuff.

My student has 6/20 students in her 5th grade class that her special needs. I feel that this distracts from the rest of the class's learning as the teacher and other students must wait to help the special students with more understanding and learning. The kids that need special education should in fact have a special education class that they can go to, they should not be mixed in with the other students, they are special for a reason, and not in a bad way.Furthermore, the children no longer have grades in the classes. They have a "mastered" or "approaching" next to the different categories that they have gone over. I can't disagree with this more. Why is there no homework? Why do we have no grades on the assignments? Why is the learning curve so steep? I wish I could afford a private education for my child at this point. I feel like she is beyond held back by this school specifically. Maybe it's the entire GISD, maybe it's just Frost Elementary.They've also stopped calling holidays by their name as of this year. Last year they had no problem saying Halloween or Thanksgiving, now it's all politically correct nonsense.

Where to begin.. let start with the Meet the teacher, we are new to the area and the first impression with the administration was not great, you could tell they weren't happy to be there, My 2nd graders Teacher is amazing, but the students are extremely mean and disrespectful I have lost count on how many times we have gotten messages about the student being disrespectful AND inappropriate comments and that we need to have a talk with our kids, we have even gotten messages about phone usage during class. When my 2nd grader never had issues before with making friends with anyone and now has a hard time making friends and coming home crying about the kids being mean and there's nothing that is really done. Then there is my 4th Grader... The 1st teacher we had she was rude and really didn't care what we had to say and was not welcoming, our son is Autistic and we needed to have more then a 2 second conversation with her and she really did not care what we had to say about him she was more worried about shoving papers in our face and going on to the next so right there we knew that there was going to be an issue. then not even a week or two into the school year my 4th grader had pooped himself (multiple student apparently) and with him being at a new school and with his autism he will not speak up and didn't know where to go, he did try and clean himself up but it was everywhere, it was clear on video that he not only pooped himself and its was down his leg ALL the other kids were complaining and NOT ONE STAFF MEMBER OR HIS OWN TEACHER did anything so he SAT in his own facies from just before lunch until after school when we got home we were obviously LIVID he was then transfer to another class and this teacher is amazing to him. But again there is issues with the bulling and disrespectful kids in his grade as well, we have had a lot of issues with him coming home and having major melt downs. With the whole absence thing they want your kids to have as much schooling (100% agree with it) but you can't get your child after 2 you have to wait for dismissal i'm sorry but if I want my child I will get my child, I do not care if its the rule they are my children not yours I will get MY children. The office staff are extremely rude every time we've come into contact with them, they are clearly miserable and hate their jobs. Next year IF we are still in the same neighborhood I will be homeschooling. There is so much more I can say but I have reached my limit of words.

Covenant Christian school is the best investment I will ever make for my children. Teachers care about their students and challenge them at the same time - which is the best kind of caring! My children were very prepared for college and graduated with excellent Bible knowledge as well.

We have had children at this school since 2012 and we have been very pleased with how well our children were prepared for High School and college both intellectually and spiritually. Socially, as with any school, there are a few bullies in every class. My children worked though it, learned how to stand up for themselves and built upon the tough experiences and channeled them into something positive. Socially, changing from a small class with 20ish kids to a class with 300, there is an adjustment period, the social dynamic is very different.Our eldest daughter is currently at A&M starting her sophomore year (was an auto admin and is in the engineering honors program) (she lettered in Robotics in High School and graduated 11th out of 272 kids) Our son is a current sophomore at Liberty Hill High School (has lettered in Robotics, Fishing and Tennis) and our youngest is finishing 2nd at St. Helen Catholic School. This program has done an excellent job teaching our children how to think for themselves, ask questions, speak publicly, push themselves academically, and has helped provide confidence in their religious beliefs and further strengthened their moral backbones. For us, this program is worth the commute from Liberty Hill to St. Helen in Georgetown. We look forward to our 8 year old growing in her faith and excelling academically as her older siblings have. I would recommend to children going from 8th grade to High School, that they get involved in school activities and clubs. It will help a big school feel small and not so overwhelming.

We love Zion Lutheran! We have 3 kids there and are so appreciative with their education in a faith based school.

My school is wonderful. The students become like a family and you get recess even in high school! The staff cares about the students.

This school went drastically downhill in the 24/25 school year. Its far from montesorri like they advertise. The only montesorri they do is in prek and kinder. After that your child now has endless amounts of workbooks and testing, limited amount of movement. And forget about going outside or recess if its bad weather, a little cold (like 65 or under), over 80. Because there is no indoor gym. On top of that nothing is screened. My child learned about several adult topics from YouTube videos her teacher put on. Every other week they watched Disney movies. Its a glorified daycare. And thats being kind. A daycare would be more growth. There hasn't been an orchard in almost 2yrs. They advertise it for new families. But thats just to get people excited. If people are thinking of this school please dont. Its all sugar coated and none of it is true. Several families are moving on to new schools now. We wish we never had to move. Unfortunately its a choice we had to make.
