Hernandez Elementary School

We are new to the school and the state and very happy about the education our son receives at this school. Having come from a rigorous, top rated public school (rated 10/10 stars on Great Schools and A+ on Niche) at another state, our son is still receiving a quality education here. Clearly the best school in the city, and we as parents have very high expectations on academics. We had toured multiple schools in the area and surrounding cities and glad we made SMA our top choice. Not only do you receive a quality education, but the students and the faculty are respectful. Classes are small so our child receives undivided attention, which isn't the case at local public schools. I am surprised at the amount of negative reviews on this site, when not everyone's experiences are the same. As a parent, I've sent my kids to both private and public schools in the past, and SMA is a gem. I would tour SMA yourself and give them a try.

This school is great for someone who is looking for their child to have a great experience. Everyone here is super friendly and always going above and beyond for the kids. If you are looking for a school that's great academically, socially, and spiritually then this is the school you have been looking for. If you have a child with special needs they may be able to accommodate depending on your child's need. In my case my child gets the services he needs for speech from the San Marcos district at school and the staff here facilitate my son.

I Have had two teenagers at this school. It is a mess. Decided to only keep one in the school. It is at overcapacity and both teachers & students are stressed. Very few are meeting the bare minimum math and reading proficiency. That is also because of the middle school’s This high school is geared more as a trade school. It has some decent mid range STEM classes.School students would benefit from additional math/reading assistance. School has many distractions quite chaotic, odd schedule changes.
