Canyon Ridge Elementary School

Since enrolling my son at this campus from a private school his academic performance has significantly decreased which is no surprise seeing this schools widespread poor academic performance scores compared to other schools in the area. His teacher makes absolutely no effort to motivate or make lessons engaging to more gifted students, he also turns a blind eye to the pervasive bullying going on in his class. Also despite the new law House Bill 3 passed on September 2023 requiring Texas schools to have an armed security officer at every campus during the school day there is still NO full time officer on campus to ensure children's safety!!

Every teacher my children have had from pre-K up have been phenomenal. The communication at the school is absolutely top-notch. As a former teacher myself, I have never seen a school that does so much for both their students and their teachers. It is truly a fun and welcoming place for all. My oldest child moved mid year since we are an active duty, military family, and was welcomed so warmly.We adore the staff and teachers here.

Es excelente escuela. Mis hijas dieron un cambio total al entrar ahí. Su personal es muy amable y busca soluciones de manera rápida

All three of my children attended SACS from kindergarten through 12th grade. All three kids were accepted to top-notch universities, one of them earning a full academic scholarship. SACS thoroughly prepared my kids for college and a career. In addition, my kids grew in their faith and have never wavered. While the academics were sometimes stressful, students at SACS are strongly encouraged to have balanced lives and participate in sports, theater, band, fine arts, or other extracurriculars. In addition, local service projects and mission trips are highly encouraged and part of the school calendar. The teachers are loving, supportive, and experts in their fields. The high school has many dual credit and AP offerings, and all my kids entered college with 18-30 hours.

Our time at Buckner Fanning School at Mission Springs was deeply disappointing due to the school’s failure to uphold the Christian values it professes. Our child, born in mid-September, was initially allowed an early start. However, near the end of their time there, the administration claimed new adherence to strict school district guidelines, forcing our child to repeat a year. They insisted this policy was universal. Yet, on the first day of the new school year, we discovered younger students had advanced to the next grade, contradicting the school’s claims. This revealed selective enforcement and favoritism, showing decisions were driven by the administration’s interests rather than fairness. Feeling misled by a school that preaches God’s word but acts hypocritically, we urge families to seek a school with genuine integrity that equitably upholds its values.
