We were considering Redeemer for our 2 children and thought the school seemed like it had a strong…read morecommunity and curriculum. My wife was raised Lutheran and was looking for a church in Austin to become part of and to teach our kids about her religion (we are an interfaith family, I am Jewish). We did a tour with Beth Knippa and sent our oldest for a shadow day after submitting an application. My child had an OK experience but said "other kids couldn't follow directions" (we were also told by faculty on pick up that my child followed directions and participated better than current students). We later got an e-mail from Beth asking how it went which I responded to positively and a short follow up later saying Redeemer "was not the proper learning environment for them". After the feedback we'd received so far this was surprising so we e-mailed Beth to ask if she could provide more context on their decision. She adamantly refused to provide any additional information (after my child had spent the entire day there and my wife did a follow up meet and greet with my younger child). Overall, it seems like interfaith families are out for the school - of course they couldn't cite that specifically (even if you're actively looking for a church community and 1/2 raised in the faith). Typically I wouldn't post an online review but both my wife and I were appalled by the lack of transparency in their decision which leads us to believe a lack of openness in the community to families from different backgrounds. We're still considering churches/a school that are the best fit for our kids and in hindsight are relieved that Redeemer made their true colors known early. It's certainly not the welcoming Christian community we'd hoped for.

I told my son how was the years in kipp he was in kipp for kinder to 4th grade, and he said this "…read moreOn kinder I had a teacher (don't wanna say names ) that was really rude to me just because he was getting started. He also told me that there were a lot of favoritism in that teacher, and he said that manly all the kids of his class that were great in learning that had good grades and atitude she cared about but for students that also includes my son she really gived them the equal care or way of learning , and she also on the first day of school didnt pay attention on my sons name for the bus he was assigned that was closest to my location, and she said my sons name to ride on a different bus. our full family was scared cause we didn't knew were he was then we found him in the school getting carried by a mother. now in 1st grade, it was great no drama no problems, but the cuncern was manly in the teacher. cause she wasn't really great at her job of teaching. we really didn't like her for her way of teaching. and now 2nd grade, my son told me the teacher was not that good at her job. She was all the time in her phone during events and when my son and his classmates had worksheets in stead of helping she was in her phone, and know 3 grade, This was the least favorite year of my son, he had 3 teachers. her main teacher had a lots of problems with him. I do recall that he was almost every month or weeks getting in trouble, but the point is that his teacher had favoritism there was 4 kids that were manly the smart ones, in that year my son was great good grades and kinda bad with attitude, and my son was also in there level, but the main reason why we think the teacher favored them its cause they were the popular students and many girls liked them, so she favord them of their appierence. and his 2nd teacher of 3rd grade had anger issues ( I dont want to offend no one but she got angry for the smallest thing my son and his classmates did ) so yea, she got really angry for small things. And now for her 3rd teacher of 3rd grade, he explained to me that she was the worst of his teachers he ever expireance, she had a lot of favoritism. also kinda angry issue. the same thing for the 1st teacher of 3rd grade and kinda of his 2nd teacher of 3rd grade. Now for 4th grade, it was really normal he had 2 teachers. the 2nd teacher he told me that was the best of his intire life, she was kind, treated everyone equally and great to make a chat with her, she also helped people when needed, she gived them a lot of homework so that they could get better, he also kinda liked his main teacher the only problem was that he kinda got scared when she got angry. and that is it for kipp, not really recommended he told me that it was rare to find a nice great teacher.

Hands down the best education you can give your child in Austin, Texas. St. Stephens sets high…read moreexpectations for their student, faculty and staff. The faculty are present and ready to help students succeed and staff is friendly yet professional. St. Stephens also fosters an environment that teaches children about service to others and community, they have zero tolerance for behaviors that would be ignored at other private and public schools in Austin. This is an Episcopalian school that does a beautiful job of making students of diverse religious backgrounds feel welcome and accepted to include students from non-religious families. They offer multiple sports, clubs, and fine arts programs. The tuition is not for the faint of heart, it is costly when compared to other private schools however, it is worth the expense. Most private schools are just like public schools minus the larger classes. St. Stephens not only sets high expectations for their students, they set high standards for their teachers. This in my opinion is what sets them apart from other private schools and public schools. If you have a child who is less academic or perhaps more into athletics you may want to send them to another private school or public school. If you have a child that is hungry for knowledge or wants to be challenged St. Stephens is the school for you. Down side here is the high cost and though it pains me to say it, the cafeteria food is mediocre but hey you can always pack a lunch!

I attended a high school that was brand new and looked like a mall, and performed theater in a brand new two story performing arts center. We had money for various activities.. and while no one was really rich on our district, we really epitomized the middle middle class. Although I have heard in past few years some of the schools have gotten rougher, I still stand firm that they are much better choice. Look at the pflugerville school district for small class sizes, mostly decent teachers and strong extra curriculars.

I've seen all the reviews here and can tell what they're talking about, and frankly, they're very exaggerated. Someone talked about underrepresentation which i agree with, but has nothing to do with race or origin. I feel severely under represented as a student, but this is because there's a group of popular kids with white and mexican kids that dominate this, which is not related to race. I also saw the review talking about the two administration peoples,and i agree to a WAY lesser extent: They may have been incompetent, but in now way did they severely affect the savio environment in such a way. I truly know one of the people they're taking about and they tried their best, even if students didn't feel it worked. About what's actually "toxic", are the students themselves. The teachers enable the popular kids and their spoiled entitlement and lack of spiritual education in which these kids blatantly gossip and disrespect other nice teachers. They shun those who are themselves and like joking around when they very well do the same. About savio's work load, it's very difficult, especially junior year, but after all no one is forcing us to pay to o there every year, it's college preparatory after all. I do agree that savio underpays their staff, but they're not exactly government funded, when staff sign up, they know their salary. Lastly, for my real opinion on Savio: It's not very catholic, and lacks a spiritual aspect. Go to a cheaper catholic school like San Juan Diego and find a more friendly student environment.
