Back in March my in laws enrolled my daughter in drivers Ed with San Marcos Driving School…read more Everything seemed to be going great until one of the last days of class. Two people came in yelling and cussing at the teacher wanting a refund because the teacher didn't complete his end. I didn't think too much of it at the time. I just felt bad for my daughter because she gets really bad anxiety anytime anybody yells, so she didn't want to return. The class and the driving part had already been paid in full. San Marcos driving school was closing and moving to new braunfels, so we opted to do "parent taught driving lessons." After fighting with the instructor for MONTHS we finally got the paperwork saying brooke finished the class portion. He would not mail the forms, he insisted that we drive to NB to pick them up. When my husband and I got there he had me waiting for 45 min just to hand me the paper because he "lost" it. Even though he knew someone was coming to pick it up. Then you have to wait 6 months after your permit to get your license. That brings us to today..... today I took my daughter to Texas driving school to sign up for her driving test so she can get her license. The amazing lady behind the desk informed me that the paperwork that I turned in his only half finished. That parent taught driving lessons have to be approved and have special forms. That everything we had was not sufficient to get her drivers license. Now remember the class was paid in full for the driving portion and the class portion with no refund. Now today I had to pay another $420 on top of what my in-laws had paid, to get the mandatory driving portion of it finished and the paperwork transferred so that it was all not for nothing. Never in 1 million years would I recommend San Marcos driving school or the ass hat that runs it. He was extremely unprofessional and very dismissive. He was asked multiple times if we needed anything for the parent taught courses and we were told repeatedly no that we just needed to keep a log. Save your time and go to Texas driving school in Kyle or anywhere else for that matter. Do not give your money to this thief who refuses to refund anything even tho his job was not finished!!!

Teachers come and go as they please, and don't actually teach the students. I'm surprised this school has lasted as long as it has. They don't handle bullying, they don't drug test their athletes or students, their teachers badmouth students, and nothing happens to anyone who does wrong not even the staff. My child was physically assaulted, it was caught on camera and they did nothing. Three teachers were gossiping about my child and called her names, nothing happened. I have witnessed teachers screaming at children and nothing happened. This is not ok. Save your money! Do NOT send your kids to this horrible school. They will not thrive or succeeded this school is not worth it. Go anywhere else. The staff pretends to be nice and care until you're not around. Seriously do NOT send your kids there. I'm not the only parent who has had these problems just the only one leaving a review. They last half of the freshmen now sophomore class and a bunch of eighth graders now freshmen. The school is a joke, the sports program is terrible, and the academics are not par by any stretch of the imagination.

We enrolled our children in Mathnasium expecting quality math instruction and individualized…read moretutoring. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. A significant portion of each session was spent playing games or socializing instead of working on math. While I understand that breaks and engagement activities have their place, I was paying for academic instruction--not extended playtime. My children have plenty of opportunities for recreation outside of tutoring. Another concern was the lack of redirection when my child became distracted. I understand that children can chat or lose focus, but part of a tutor's role is to keep students engaged and on task. Other tutors my child has worked with have been able to redirect him effectively and consistently achieve 45-60 minutes of productive learning. That did not happen here. After seeing little academic progress despite our investment, we decided to withdraw our children. We were disappointed because we had high expectations and hoped for a structured environment that prioritized learning. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this location to families looking for focused, results-driven math tutoring

OK... This place touts itself as being able to teach and…read moreassist children of all ages, abilities and grade levels with all math disciplines up to and including prepping for college SATs at $200.00 per month and up.. We have tried to work with the owner, the office manager, the college student "tutors" that staff the place and are supposed to assist the students needing help. There are serious issues that are ongoing with this facility and don't seem to be a concern of the owner or staff. We have personally observed some of these issues several times and have voiced our concerns with ownership and all staff. 1. Unprofessional demeanor (college student "tutors" and office manager not focused, do not provide one on one assistance, encourage distractive group discussions on various political subjects, their personal interests, off color and off topic rants with the students there for MATH assistance.) 2. Parents of students walking in to pick up or drop off and interrupting the study enviornment with their own topics of discussion and proceed to linger and have "social hour" with other parents, staff and other students. 3. "Tutors" allowing unruly, distractive behavior from students that have been dropped off to get assistance, but just want to complain about why they are made to attend and raise the noise level of the center to lunchroom din levels. 4. Selective assistance by the "tutors". When the college level tutor or office manager cannot follow the student's text book or their school's math curriculum, they tell the student.. "We don't know what your school wants"...., "We don't know how the book got that answer", "We have never done it that way"... and my fave.... "Just keep working at it, you might figure it out". 5. Overheard in a conversation to a student... "Maybe you should try Khan Academy, that free online educational tutor...maybe they can help with your math needs". That's just some of the crap that goes on in this facility. If you are considering sending your student to Mathnasium for "math help" to improve their grades and understanding of math, you may want to consider a private tutor. There are college students in the New Braunfels area looking to make some extra cash, are genuinely interested in your child's success and charge the same rates with real "one on one" math help.

So after 5 years at GDA, it came time for our family to think about the direction of education we…read morefelt was appropriate for our household. When we first start at GDA, Jamie King was the head of school. We loved her and were very sad to see her leave. I loved the curriculum, the fact that cursive was taught in kindergarten and Latin was taught in 1st grade and 2nd grade if I am remembering correctly. I also loved that I had a set of books at home so I could follow the curriculum as close a possible to the way the teacher was teaching for home days. Unfortunately the parent involvement demands for GDA no longer worked for us. Also, not having a full 5 days a week with a teacher for routine for my student was not beneficial. When we started comparing private schools in the local community, I made a pros and cons list of why we should stay at GDA and why another school might be a better fit for us. GDA has grown a little since we have left and now that TEFA has been implemented, I'm sure the number of students will grow. I suggest when you look for a school, regardless if it is public or private, take a tour of the campus, ask families of current students and alumni their opinion. Take people's reviews on Yelp, Facebook, and Google with a grain of salt. Also reach out to them and ask them if their student is still at the school AND did this student graduate from that school the reviewer is praising. You will surprised at how many people give schools 5 stars and left the school for a different school. Somethings may have changed since I created my list, but here is part of my list for GDA that I used to decide to stay or go to a different school: -GDA: Established 2012 -The tuition and fees are from 3-4 years ago, so this info is incorrect. Tuition: $5,580 yr/$465 mo Enrollment Fee: $425 Reenrollment Fee: $275 Application Fee: $150 Discounts: Pioneer Family discount $400 annual (10.75%). 3+ student discount. -Financial Aid: Yes. ACE Scholarship (and now TEFA). -Acceptance notification: Via Email. 7 days to accept/deny. -Special Needs Program: No. -School schedule: K-6th- 2 days in class; 2 days homeschool -Lunch & Snacks: Must bring lunch/snacks & water bottle. -Cafeteria: No. Refurbished and broken picnic tables. -Lunch Time: 12 PM - 12:30 PM -School Dress Code: Uniform. Red/BLK/GRY Uniform Cost: $50 - $100. Land's End/Speckled Goats/Other School Supplies: Must Purchase. Approx. $300-$500 -Textbooks: Must purchase, hard to find. -Textbook Cost: See above. -Curriculum: Classical, but outdated. -After School Program: None -After School Program Fee: None -Bus to/from school: No. Must pay daycare for P/U if I cannot pick up student. -Academic Calendar: August - May -School Hours: 8:15 AM - 3:30 PM -Parent Volunteer Hours: Required 20 per yr or $25 per hr -Devotions/Chapel time: Use Riverside Church. (I don't think this is correct anymore). -Chapel Attire: No longer implemented. Regular uniform for chapel days. -Gym: No. -PK3- 2nd Grade: Separate School House. -Kinder Nap Time: No. -3rd Grade - 12 grade: Renting Classrooms. (I believe there are new buildings for some of the classrooms that were purchased). -PTA: No. 2 tries and ended. Was called the Lion's Den. -Apps: Track It Forward and GroupMe. -Software Programs: RenWeb/FACTS -Payment Program: FACTS/Nelnet -Summer Camp(s): Yes. -Sports: Yes. And if you are curious about if we stayed or left; we left. Even with the fact we were considered a "Pioneer family". This title was reserved for families that enrolled students when GDA was founded and I think up to 5 years of the school opening. We are much happier with a 5 day a week school even though it was more expensive and we lost our special "Pioneer Family" discount. GDA is for the mom who wants to homeschool but likes the organization of a private school; and it's great to have a real teacher 2 days a week to help with teaching.

I am grateful that we found this school.
