Spring Branch Middle School

We have been really happy with Bunker Hill. Our boys have loved their teachers, and we love the new principal. She's very approachable and has gotten to know families very quickly. The building is new, and we're getting a lab elective next year for the kids. The sports facilities and the field are great.Parents at the school are incredibly involved and do a lot of things that make the experience special for the children, like putting on an International Day, Spring Fling, the "Good Behavior" reward shop, and helping with the grade level programs, etc. It's a very nice school with a lot of fun "extras".

I have to disagree with these comments regarding meeting the needs of students with disabilities. Memorial drive elementary has a team lead by a Lioness. The principal is on top of it like white on rice, she may be overwhelming at times and demands punctual attendance and makes sure every parent is being the best they can be. They have a strong team and the sped department is phenomenal. My son’s ARD meeting was done in weeks of enrollment and I saw nothing but love and passion for the students . I recommend this school and applaud them as a whole. Happy mother of first grader new to the school .

St. Mark Lutheran School in Houston has been a tremendous experience for our family. The school provides strong student engagement, a solid academic foundation, and a well-developed athletics program. What stands out most is the emphasis on spiritual growth and character, which is woven into the daily experience. The school continues to make thoughtful improvements in extracurricular offerings, and the sense of community is exceptional. Family involvement is encouraged and genuinely valued, creating an environment that feels both supportive and connected. We’re grateful to be part of such a well-rounded and faith-centered school community.

St. Cecilia Catholic School has a great community, but the administration is weak and often inconsistent. There is a clear preference toward families who donate more, which creates a sense of unfairness. The school’s strong reputation feels overrated and mostly driven by its location and relatively low tuition, rather than overall quality. The families and students are the best part of the school, but the administration falls short.

If approximately 15-20% (citing 17 sources...naming two pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and dyslexia.yale.edu) of children in kindergarten through 3rd grade (roughly ages 5-9) have dyslexia, based on prevalence estimates from major dyslexia research organizations and studies focused on early elementary school populations...please explain how a school charging $25,000 a year for tuition failed to recognize severe dyslexia and dysgraphia in a student who attended from K-3rd grade. The DIBELS assessment tool, which can be as cheap as $0, requires no certification and is easy and quick, recommends testing to begin in kindergarten. The Texas Education Agency mandates dyslexia risk assessment beginning in kindergarten.
