The faculty, staff, and parents are clearly all aligned under a common goal of doing what's best for our students. I can't imagine teaching anywhere else!

She loves school more than anything, to have your child beg to go to school, happy every morning is priceless. She grew to be a confident and kind girl and I am positive the school had an immense impact on this. I always felt heard, communication with leadership as well as teachers have been amazing. The performances always blow my mind and last years robotic show for first grade surpassed my expectations. Truly recommend.

Then, were so impressed with their handling of the pandemic in 2020 (we experienced no "covid learning loss"), it was an easy decision to stay on for the primary grades. And we have not been disappointed! We continue to have truly great teachers, that you can actually interact with every day at drop off and pickup and build relationships with them. I highly encourage anyone who is interested to schedule a tour or go to one of the open houses. Not only is it a charming environment, you will be amazed at how much more they manage to cover than just the basics. There is a focus on fine arts and performances, which are so great for confidence building. But they also get into robotics, go on cool field trips, and seem to have more fun events and activities than you might get in public school. The summer camp sessions are great, too! We'll be very sad to move on after 4th grade!

Beware, parents! *slight edit* I was just sent an e mail that this teacher is not at the Woodlands Campus but at Greengate Academy in Spring. I've lost count; this may be my 5th review. SHSU Charter has a way of making poor reviews vanish. My child used to attend SHSU Humble campus and I regret leaving him there as long as I did. My own background is almost 20 years in education as a teacher, trainer, curriculum developer, coach and specialist at both the site and district level. Due to the nature of my positions, I've literally been in 100s of classrooms. Most teachers are good, or at least have potential. It is the rare few that should not even be in the profession. The K/1 teacher at SHSU would fall into this category. First, the teacher was very rude and uncaring most all the year. She constantly ignored everyone and never let us know how our kids were doing. Anytime I tried to have a conversation with her she'd roll her eyes, sigh and basically act like a spoiled teenager. Next, it is NOT TRUE that SHSU charter doesn't do testing. They do MAP testing 3 times a year, weekly reading tests, and unit math tests alongside several science and social studies exams. It is also NOT TRUE that all the teachers are experts with over a decade of experience. While my child really liked the PE and music teachers and I heard positives about some teachers at other sites, the Humble teacher had never worked with a group larger than 8 and was in desperate need of a mentor or possibly a job change. Not once did I get the impression that she liked her job, the students and most certainly not the parents. Possibly she went into teaching thinking it would be easy, and lucky for her; her position was. Working all alone in a class of only 7 far from the main office in Woodlands must have been a dream come true. Nobody was checking in on her so she could do as she pleased, or more specifically, do as little as she pleased. Not working was certainly her motto. She arrived each day 15 minutes before class and left when the kids did. Each day the same 2 girls would get "red cards" for small infractions. As an educational coach I know, if 25% of your class isn't focused the problem isn't the kids, it's the teacher. The teacher became upset/ embarrassed when it was discovered she was playing on her phone rather than working. The kids would sit alone doing piles of worksheets while she sat at her desk much of the day. Due to being found out, she started a "new policy" that no parent was allowed 1 inch in the class without an appointment. I spoke to both the principal and superintendent about this, and they seemed perfectly happy with the idea of parents being cut off from their child's education. They disguised the door policy as being something all the sites were doing in response to gun control, but as I found out from a friend at another site; this policy was only placed at the Humble campus. One day I entered about 6 inches past the doorframe and was treated like gum on the bottom of her shoe. Yelling, screaming, eye-rolling and telling me to get out. She acted like a maniac in front of the class and I realized my child would be better served staying home watching TV than in a class with a lunatic. I pulled my child an hour later and he told me he was so happy and he never wanted to be in a class with a mean, bad teacher again.

This is the only one that has made me feel unwelcome completely. The front desk has gone completely out of their way to be sure my family feels uncomfortable. My oldest daughter is home schooled and deals with a severe trauma disorder and now refuses to go to eat lunch with my youngest daughter that goes here. For absolutely no reason they made us feel unwelcome multiple times and now we just don't go to avoid such a negative experience. My youngest daughter doesn't understand why we don't go anymore. It has been the strangest experience in a elementary school I've ever went through with staff. My middle daughter went here when mr. Best was principal and I did watch dog many times and never dealt with such disrespect and the feeling of being unwelcome. They really scored a victory by making us feel so unwelcome and now my youngest will unfortunately have a different experience due to adults ego. Great job. As far as my kids teachers they really seem wonderful.

We visited from Baton Rouge and were very impressed with the Mass. I wouldn't put much weight on…read morethe older reviews talking about it being too contemporary. In fact, this was probably the most high-church Novus Ordo mass I have been to. Everything except the readings were sung. The lectors did a particularly good job, I thought. It is a big church, and the 10 am Mass spilled into the overflow room, so there are a lot of EMHCs if that bothers you. The homily was on the long side, and I'm not a big fan of second offerings, but those are minor pet peeves. Overall, it was great and I would be happy to attend again.

However recently things have really been looking up for this church and I pray that it stays the course. Fr. Ramirez has done an excellent job as pastor, he does a traditional Novus Ordo that I highly recommend. Fr. Krusleski does more contemporary masses which are also okay but don't have as good of music in my opinion. Overall though this church has definitely improved and I pray for the preists and congregation.
