Afton Oaks School

Do not I repeat do not enroll your child in this school. They have too many bullies. My 2 sons go to this school and is being bullied every week. But my kids keep getting in trouble for taking up for themselves. This school is racist and needs to be reported.

Terrible school was better four years ago now they have the worst principal his name is Mr. bui no admin are good in the school. No response was taken when teacher bullied my son the principal sided with her so I advise you never to go to the school ever again because it’s not good

This school is designed to train white privileged obedient students, not emotionally resilient future leaders. We are immigrant families that experienced unsaid discrimination. They only care about easy management and money, not educating my kids. Not recommended.

I highly recommend Post Oak. I have had a wonderful experience there with three children across Young Children’s Community, Primary, and Elementary. The teachers are excellent. The way they apply the Montessori method and prepared environment is outstanding. The classroom communities foster an independence, confidence, and creativity in the kids.

St. Michael Catholic School consistently fails at every possible measure of a quality private school. As everything does, it comes down to leadership. The current Head of School has demonstrated inadequate leadership skills and has not fostered a nurturing or effective learning environment. She seems to not care much for children. Or parents. Or feedback. She should have been fired a long time ago. Unfortunately, neither the current nor previous priests associated with the parish have shown meaningful involvement in the school’s spiritual or academic development. It is so disappointing that the Diocese, under Cardinal DiNardo’s oversight, has allowed this school to flounder, ultimately to the detriment of the students. Safe and Supportive Environment / Positive School Culture: The school has failed to establish a safe and respectful environment. Despite the values expected of a Catholic institution, there is no emphasis on teaching or enforcing respect, responsibility, and ethical behavior among students, toward one another. Bullying is rampant and not addressed. They have the opposite of a “zero tolerance” policy on bullying. There is no consistent or effective anti-bullying policy in place, and the school does not take a proactive role in teaching students compassion or inclusivity. Families with children who may not conform to narrow expectations may find the school especially unaccommodating.Dedicated Teachers and Staff: FAIL. While there may be dedicated individuals within the school, our experience suggests a general lack of engagement and communication from teachers. Throughout our children's time at St. Michael, teachers did not initiate any meaningful contact, even when academic struggles were apparent, which most students have from time to time. When we reached out for support, responses were minimal and unhelpful. Access to learning materials was extremely limited, and the Parent-Teacher conferences are a LITERAL joke. You get 180 seconds of your child’s teacher’s time for every class, once per year, with no conversation of any substance at all regarding how your child is actually doing. Which leads to the next one…Communication and Collaboration with Parents: Communication between the school and parents is notably lacking. Productive, two-way collaboration is essential for student success, yet St. Michael has shown little effort in fostering this connection. The environment is neither communicative nor collaborative.

Excellent school. Dedicated teacher and staff. Best PTO My daughter loves the school. Her Chinese is very affluent now. Very safe school The only complaint is the club activities which is limited by the smaller student population
