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

My family's experience with this school was disappointing, not because childhood conflicts occurred, but because of how they were handled.Over the course of the year, we experienced significant challenges with communication, transparency, and consistency in administrative decision-making. Situations that appeared to be normal childhood conflicts were escalated into formal disciplinary matters without what I felt was sufficient emphasis on mediation, coaching, restorative conversations, or conflict-resolution strategies.One of the most frustrating aspects was the lack of clarity surrounding investigations and disciplinary decisions. Despite repeated attempts to obtain answers and understand how conclusions were reached, many questions remained unanswered until the matter was elevated beyond the campus level through the district grievance process.I was particularly concerned by the inconsistency in how student incidents appeared to be handled. Some situations involving my child resulted in formal investigations and significant consequences, while repeated physical incidents involving other students raised questions about when investigations are initiated, what thresholds are applied, and what preventative measures are taken to protect students from recurring problems.To be fair, some later interactions were more constructive. I appreciated seeing restorative conversations, mediation between students, and staff members who focused on reflection, guidance, and helping children learn from mistakes rather than simply imposing consequences. Those experiences demonstrated that more supportive approaches are possible and, in my view, often more effective.My hope is that the school continues improving transparency, consistency, communication with families, student safety practices, and the use of restorative approaches to conflict. Schools play an important role not only in academics, but also in helping children develop communication skills, emotional regulation, accountability, and healthy peer relationships.Based on our experience, I cannot recommend the school without reservation.

Our child began attending Bulverde Creek Elementary (BCE) her 4th grade year after attending Montessori the previous school years. She has blossomed and grown in all ways since then. For some reason, she was unsure of herself and had low self esteem her last couple of years at Montessori. She had bad anxiety when it came to school work and tests. It may have had to do with the teacher/s she had at the time since we heard that one was particularly harsh and strict on her and the other students. Her test grades have significantly improved since she transitioned to BCE, and her words and actions show us that she believes in herself and what she is capable of accomplishing. We can't praise the teachers and staff enough for this wonderful development. This is a great school!

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.

Teachers are great, dedicated and care about their students
