The school has a principal who has very poor leadership qualities and does not need to be in leadership any further. She is not supportive of staff or students and many of the students have bad behaviors at the campus. Poor leadership affects students, staff and parents. She does not listen to much

Posted by a parent on 3/23/2024The 4th grade teacher Alex Harrison is extremely unprofessional, rude, and does not support the student. From experience I have witnessed her badger the child and very unresponsive to bully behavior that occurs in her class.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe 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.Parent Review1y ago - Askew Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHoly Spirit Episcopal School has truly been a blessing for my son who started there in 6th grade. The school has really helped my son thrive academically, socially and spiritually. The teachers are very dedicated and most of them have been teaching at this school for a long time. We can tell that they love what they do. The teachers and staff communicate well with parents and students. We feel that this school is the best place for our son who enjoys being a "Saint".Parent Review1y ago - Grace School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAmazing school! This is our first year at Grace and our son loves it. The teachers are caring and loving. The academics are robust and it’s been a positive experience for us so far. We would highly recommend this school to anyone that is looking for smaller classes (14 kids in our son’s class) and a solid foundation for learning. Grace was one of the first STEM certified schools in Texas and their overall approach to learning has been fantastic. Cannot recommend highly enough!Parent Review2y ago - Ascension Episcopal School
