As a parent at HCMS I can confidently say that they have earned these five stars. To be fair my…read moretwo kids have never attended any other school, but to be doubly fair there has been no reason for them to. I've had one kiddo on the campus from age 4 until now (age 10), and my littlest one started this last spring (age 4). HCMS has a very strong familial environment that I honestly don't think I could find elsewhere. I know that they are happy and safe and learning in an environment that teaches more than just standard curriculum, but also an entire method of learning that never ceases to astound me. There are so many positive attributes I could list, but it's even easier to just go take a tour of the campus. Plus there is no description of the atmosphere that I could ever come up with to do the school justice. But If I had to pick just one thing about HCMS to relate to other parents who are looking for the right fit for their kids, it is that you are always welcome on campus. Seriously, like always. That was a big deal for an overbearing mother who wasn't ready to let go :) Instead of crying in the parking lot I was welcomed to cry on campus, in the office, in the classroom, heck I've shed a few tears in their goat habitat. You are welcome to observe the classes (all levels), and not only are you allowed to hang out but it's encouraged. Okay crap just one more thing that I want to mention is that the Montessori Method is really into having the students help each other, it's structured so that the older ones even give lessons to the younger ones. It's my impression that most of the parents of the school did not receive Montessori education themselves, but you would never know it. There is a great sense of comradery between the parents with each other as well as with the the eclectic group of teachers and staff. Many of the teachers and staff have students at the school as well. Shouldn't that be a pretty good indicator of a great place to drop your kids off every day? Now to business.....do I get a free appetizer if I 'check-in?'

The teachers are all amazing. Each classroom has a certified Montessori teacher to guide the children to find their love of learning and direct them through the curriculum at their own paces. The classrooms encourage collaboration between the students of different levels and the respect the teachers have for the children shows them how to treat each other. I am constantly impressed by all the students here.

Be warned however, i would NOT recommend moving to basis after you are in 6th grade at another school, because for people are doing algebra 1 in 7th grade, have separate science classes for bio, chem, and physics. However, you will be rewarded, as (In my experience) in UIL, we regularly win most of the awards. Not too great sports programs though. And as other reviews say, your student will have to study. The motto is literally "Exellence through Rigor" Not much bullying though

Start with the administration that will "hear" your voice but they don't listen. They push subjects down to young people who are not ready for the content either morally, emotionally and intellectually. The subjects are mandated by a panel disconnected from the schools and students. Administrators don't have any reason to change the curriculum as all they care about are rankings and money. They have instructors that don't understand their students. They mandate AP subjects to 14 year old ninth graders as if they are 19 and 20 year old college individuals, you cannot choose otherwise and the head of school does nothing! ..

I've personally met with counselors, coaches, and teachers, and they have always been helpful, responsive, and invested in student success. My son currently attends and is active in both football and track. The school offers a wide range of extracurricular activities and creates plenty of opportunities for students to get involved. There are also strong academic options, including advanced classes and college prep pathways. The campus feels safe, well-managed, and focused on student development. A new NISD baseball and softball complex was recently built right behind the school, which is a great addition for student athletes. Overall, I highly recommend this school for both academics and extracurricular involvement. - Parent
