Stratford High School

The school was very accommodating with our mid-year enrollment and handled everything quickly. One of its greatest strengths is that it’s relatively small — which means all the staff are, in some way, involved with every child. This created a warm, supportive environment where my daughter felt cared for and encouraged. During challenging moments, the staff were always kind, responsive, and ready to help. The quality of education is high.We only changed schools because of its location in relation to our home.She truly enjoyed her time there, especially the friendships with other children and the communication with staff.Our whole family, and Evelina in particular, are deeply grateful.

I am writing this review to help parents make an informed decision when considering this school. I can only speak from my personal experience.I moved to Texas in February and enrolled my daughter after missing the private school enrollment deadline. We previously lived in Florida and believed one year here would be manageable. Unfortunately, the experience has been extremely disappointing.The enrollment process was disorganized and redundant. Although documents were submitted online, I was still required to bring them in person. There were no clear instructions, and we had to walk around the campus to find the enrollment office.“Meet the Teacher” day was chaotic and poorly communicated. When we finally located the classroom, I learned the teacher had 29 students with no aide. As a former kindergarten teacher, I know this is inappropriate. Two months later, I received a letter from the state stating the school was out of compliance with Texas’ 22:1 ratio.The first day of school raised serious safety concerns. There were very few staff members and no clear directions. At dismissal, my daughter was missing for nearly 30 minutes. Staff did not know where she was, and I had to use an AirTag to confirm she was still inside the building. She was found hysterical due to lack of supervision.Dismissal procedures remain alarming. Students are often unsupervised, and I have witnessed staff distracted on their phones and a child pushed from a 6–8 ft platform without immediate intervention. Backpacks are frequently left outside for days.My daughter has experienced verbal and physical bullying. Despite reporting this to the teacher and principal, no action was taken.Communication from the teacher has been minimal. Items are sent home without instructions, and multiple emails requesting clarification went unanswered. The curriculum is weak and below kindergarten expectations.After submitting documentation for private speech therapy four months ago, staff had not reviewed it and ultimately denied services, wasting valuable time.Overall, this school has ongoing issues with safety, supervision, communication, and academic support. My daughter will not be returning next year, and I do not recommend this school.

Moved from Alexander elementary. Great special eduction! Keep up the good work !

Very unprofessional in the last year or 2. Unorganized and shows favoritism to students who receives benefits. Will never recommend this school to any parent or student.

My child was in this school for 4 years. I used to think great things about this school until we pulled him out. He is now thriving at his new school & the teachers are much more understanding. They do projects & take trips unlike at Wilchester. I would not recommend this school. There are much better options in spring branch.
