After elementary, prior to entering junior high,she was required to select a course of study based on her preferences, testing and availability. She choose science and leadership. Continuing through this program with distinction,she graduated and went on to Texas Tech University. After a biology/ chemistry degree she entered a career in the scientific community where today she is honored and respected after excelling in science. I give a tremendous amount of credit for her success to the RISD Magnet program and the professional educators that were dedicated enough to follow through,assuring students took full advantage of a special curriculum offered them. No doubt,it has positively affected many lives over the years. Definitely,my daughter is proof, commitment to education by public school districts works.

We moved our pre-school aged daughter to DIS from a Montessori school because of the opportunity to…read morelearn another language at such a young age. The difference in the schools is dramatic. DIS is caring and also provides structure and curriculum that has our daughter coming home speaking french, and singing french songs. The teachers communicate well by sending daily updates, weekly pictures, and by providing the curriculum so we can reinforce what she has learned at home. Everyone at DIS cares about our daughter; from her teachers and the teachers assistants that are with her everyday, to the receptionist that greets her daily - "Bonjour!" We love DIS, the community feel, and are so grateful for the opportunities it will provide our daughter.

The teachers are amazing, he learned how to write from Ms. A better than any of his Jesuit buddies. He learned how to read, analyze and discuss rigorous primary sources. Loved Jones's passion for learning/humor. Loved Latin class and tested into Latin 2 at Jesuit. Learned to love music and read music through the band experience where he still plays with Jazz band on Tuesday nights. Participated in archery, soccer, CC, track, baseball, BB & VB. His VB experience was a springboard for his love and allowed him to make club VB as well as HS VB at Jesuit. His experience as a school ambassador gave him the confidence to communicate with a purpose and leadership. His inclusion in NJHS, class officer, yearbook, alter server, Veterans Day poetry competition, Wreaths Across America allowed him to have the confidence.

Seriously, this place prepares you in ways you don't recognize until years later, and then you're all the more appreciative when you're old enough and mature enough to appreciate such things. And as Scott said, I've made some great lifetime friends at the school, no doubt the contacts come in handy for a variety of things... One thing that this place didn't prepare me for was proper interaction with females. I was so socially awkward around girls until I learned in college how booze helps. Oh wait, I'm still socially awkward around girls. Thank you, all boys school!

I have been teaching math since 2001. This is the 5th school I have had the opportunity to teach…read moreat. The Einstein School is really an awesome school to be part of. The hardest part of being an educator is to teach a lesson in 55 mins to a group of 25-30 students, review their homework, monitor each student's individual progress, spend some quality time working with each of them to make sure they understand the material, come up with different strategies to reteach, monitor instruction to meet each student's individual need (i.e. special education, 504, OHI, ESL, etc.) and have time to get students prepared for their State of Texas Annual STAAR Assessments and/or EOCs (End of Course) Exams. What I love about teaching here, is that I have the freedom to teach. I can go back and reteach or come up with another assessment. I can get to know my students with no more than 8 students per class. We typically do not assign homework, so I am working side by side with students while they do the work. I don't have to worry about the State Assessments because they do not apply to the Einstein School. Last school year (2013-2014) in their 3rd year of operation, 18 Seniors Graduated and ALL 18 WERE ACCEPTED INTO COLLEGE. This school year (2015-2016) is our 5th year in operation and we are now around 100 students and growing. About 5 new students start this week (Jan 5-8). One of our Seniors this school year was accepted into Auburn University last month! If you have a child that just feels like they "don't fit in" or are "lost in the crowd of 30 students in a class" or "feel like their teachers don't help them or care", then visit our school. You can even attend classes for a day or so and just try it out without any pressure. If I was ever going to design my own school, it would be something like the Einstein School. Kids do learn in different styles. Not everyone learns the same way. We have to change the way we teach. JohnK Wright, V M.S.

This school is a huge disappointment, and I cannot recommend it. The classes are way bigger than…read morewas advertised. The classrooms are all very small compared to how many kids are in them. The teachers mostly all seem very good at their job but end up having to slow the course down for the lowest level students. Classes get taken over by kids with behavior problems who get sent to the office and then come back to class five minutes later to do the same thing again. These kids just enjoy derailing the class and going to the office EVERY DAY. The teachers eventually just stop sending problem kids because its pointless. It ends up that a lot of classes are just run by the loudest kids who won't stop talking despite being sent to the office over and over. I feel bad for the teachers here. It's also a pretty open secret that kids can basically not do any work throughout the semester and even skip school without consequences. They will just be passed at the end of the year. I get they are trying to create a "nice" environment, but really its just an school without rules or real education. Your student will only be frustrated by the lack of real learning and the many kids who hate work and learning. Not only that, when they do graduate, they will be completely unprepared for college. I do not recommend the Einstein School, no matter lies they give you up front.

I have had interactions with J J Pearce High School for years and have always been very impressed…read moreevery time. Here are some of my firsthand experiences with the school: -I have raised three kids, two of whom came here for school and beyond academics participated in Football, Drill Team, Soccer, and Basketball. Combined, that gives me 8 years of firsthand experience with the school. My kids that came here for school also both received academic scholarships to colleges, so I believe that speaks to the quality of the education they received here. -Each time I have had situations that have required me to interact with faculty or administrators of the school, the interactions have been competent, pleasant, and professional. Hats off to the front office staff who do a great job managing a busy "hub" and always being pleasant doing it! Review #2173

Don't mistake Lake Highlands for what it's not, this is an okay school with the district of…read moreRichardson to lean back on. I would advice to look into other schools however, this place is going downhill fast. The neighborhood in which the facility is located is nice, there is a recreational center right across the street that is sometimes used by the school for science projects and what not. The environment of the school is very clique-y and it is quite visibly noted during lunch where mostly white students (with some exceptions) eat at the student center while black and Hispanics tend to drift in the cafeteria, why this is I will never understand. Staff doesn't really mind the cliques and in some cases it seems they promote it. Hm... My biggest issue with this institution is the staff. Most of the staff here is very prissy, rude and unprofessional. If you need something from them I advice you to send them a notice 2 years prior because unless someone is dying or it benefits them, they really don't care. I would never send my child to an institution like this. Rude rude rude.
