Stephen F Austin High School

My son went here and the funding is low like other parents mentioned. The events they have are engaging but the amount of donations they ask for is crazy. The amount of he is also minimum. There’s barely material or any homework’s. There were incidents of kids teasing my kids or just instigating and my kid would get in trouble because he reacted. The communication here just mediocre.

Please do not allow your kids to attend this school. No teaching , first hand experience. Teachers cleaning teeth in classroom with a phone camera, texting always , leave kids to do what they want to in classroom ,very rude staff - principal , teachers and front staff. Teachers encourage bad behavior of students. Don’t engage in controlling it. If you are able to zone your self elsewhere pl do so.

Stay far from this school and area. Teachers are not patient with kids and humiliation is a bullying tactic they use at this school. Do not recommend at all

The area surrounding the school is very diverse, primarily with well settled highly educated families that have traditional Asian values and high emphasis on academics. However, the area it serves is a very expensive and affluent one, so the kids and parents are very entitled. This definitely affects the kids, Ive seen students who look down at peers who live in apartments and are very quick to be materialistic. They also have little concept of expressing gratitude or showing the concept of community. Despite how academically ambitious the students are usually here, they are not that well rounded. Another thing I observed is resulting from how entitled the parents are, they seem to bully teachers who are more stern and uphold high academic standards. They can be quick to interrogate teachers about their child's grade then proceed to be disagreeable if the child does not get the grade to the parents liking. Lastly, due to how popular FBISD has been and budget cuts, you can expect large class sizes of 25 - 30 kids. All that being said, it is one of the better public schools in the state nonetheless, but of course, make sure you do your due diligence as a parent and community member.

Cambridge Montessori School has been an amazing educational experience for two of my children. Collectively they attended CMS for 3 years. The one thing that stands out to me about CMS is how family oriented they are. They do a great job of connecting with their families and organizing such fun events throughout the school year. My children's Primary teachers did a wonderful job of building a strong academic foundation, as well as supporting their development and learning. We absolutely love the director, Ms. Monica, and all the admin staff and teachers. We loved our time at CMS, and highly recommended it as an excellent Montessori school.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our daughter than what we found at Kyra’s Montessori.From the very beginning, when we moved from a different country, both Kyra and our family were welcomed so wholeheartedly. That warmth and care made such a difference in helping us settle in, and most importantly, made Kyra feel safe, happy, and at home.Every single teacher—from her toddler class through to her EC class—has been incredibly kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in her growth. They always wished the very best for her and went above and beyond to make her comfortable and confident every single day.As parents, we truly appreciated how approachable and helpful the staff has always been. No question was ever too small—they were always ready to guide us, support us, and ensure we felt informed and reassured.This Montessori has not only helped Kyra learn and grow but has also given us peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands.We are deeply grateful and would 100% recommend this school to families with children of all age groups.Thank you for everything—you will always hold a special place in our hearts.
