Stone Oak Elementary School

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.

We have been attending Canyon Ridge for the past 5 years. My daughter was identified as dyslexic in her second grade year. The school was fast to identify and put the measures needed to assist her in reaching her full potential. Her test scores improved as well as her confidence. From Admin to the Teachers to the staff, everyone strives to make Canyon Ridge the best school for learning and inclusion.

Disappointed. My son is on the spectrum and we're learning what works. We moved and no live on the school line. Basically given no choice but to go to hardy oak. Krista did all our paperwork in a day then blew up my phone Friday before school let out while I was at work bugging for a signature. When I was in her office few weeks ago. We live a block away from the school I was trying to keep him in the same school to not have to erase the last 2 years of growth and structure my son but Principal and Krista say no. PTA mom isn't even in district but they can stay? Just Disappointed all around. I feel like they just pushed my son out without a care.

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.
