Rowe High School

An amazing staff serving the students in the south McAllen community.

This school sucks I have four children there and none are treated like they matter!

The staff goes above and beyond to make this a safe and fun learning environment for all of the students at McAuliffe Elementary. The administrators are understanding, fair, and passionate about making sure that the students are learning.

My experience at Castaneda had been overall a great experience. The community is a nice place to be everything needed is close by.

I've had a handful of issues in the the years my child has been attending. I've seen my child's learning process digress as this school has continued to place my child with children that need more specialized attention. I diligently drive to assist my child in advanced ideas and methods during the summers and after school only to have my child placed in a low expection class. My child is not challenged to grow and advance learning skills and now has a " I don't have to do more because it is not expected of me in my class" view. I am not okay with this minimal goal setting and this school needs to do more to encourage just the opposite mentality in these children. I've been told by a teacher that they won't push them to read so they enjoy reading more. Goal setting IS pushing them to read. Give them a higher goal and at least give them the opportunity to meet a higher challenge. The expectation from the higher level classes vs the lower level classes is extreme. The Starr test wouldn't be as stressful if some of these children were taught with a bit more confidence in their ability to comprehend. "Things are difficult if WE make them difficult" is what I have always told my child. Every child that is capable of being challenged at a higher level SHOULD be challenged. This school is creating a pool of children that will have to work that much harder in high school and college to catch up to the median. Unless this is this district's median. Needless to say we will be disenrolling; my child is worth more than this.

As a parent, choosing where to entrust your child’s education is one of the most significant decisions you will ever make. After years of being part of the Covenant Christian Academy (CCA) family, I can say with absolute certainty that it is not merely a school—it is a sanctuary for intellectual growth, character development, and spiritual formation. CCA stands apart as the premier choice for families seeking an education that nourishes both the mind and the soul.The most immediate differentiator at CCA is its commitment to academic excellence through a classical lens. In a world that often prioritizes standardized testing over deep understanding, CCA teaches students how to think, not just what to think. From the early years of the Grammar stage to the sophisticated debates of the Rhetoric stage, the curriculum is rigorous and intentional. Seeing my child transition from memorizing facts to articulating complex arguments with grace and logic has been nothing short of transformative.However, academics are only half of the story. What truly makes Covenant the "best" is its unwavering Christ-centered environment. Faith isn’t just a subject taught in a Bible class; it is the atmosphere of the entire campus. The teachers at CCA do not just instruct; they mentor. They see each child as an individual made in the image of God, and they invest deeply in their moral and spiritual well-being. Knowing that my child is surrounded by educators who model integrity, kindness, and a biblical worldview provides a level of peace that is truly priceless.Furthermore, the sense of community at CCA is unparalleled. As a guardian, I have never felt like a bystander. The school fosters a genuine partnership between the home and the classroom. Whether through school-wide events, parent fellowships, or the simple, daily interactions at drop-off, there is a tangible feeling that we are all working together toward the same goal: raising the next generation of virtuous leaders.In conclusion, Covenant Christian Academy provides more than just a diploma; it provides a foundation. It balances high academic standards with a nurturing heart, ensuring that students graduate not only prepared for the world’s best universities but also equipped with the character to navigate life’s challenges. For any parent seeking an education that values truth, goodness, and beauty, there is no better place than CCA.
