    Lacks funding in the right principals, and students tend to be on the cocky side. Not a good environment with very little positives.

    It's decent but not worth the money at all. St. Stephen's is though, and you should go there!

    Waldorf is such a wonderful education. Unfortunately if the teacher is not great (or going through…read morepersonal crisis and has a large and demanding class) your child will suffer. Steiner's view was to nurture the soul of the child and unfortunately Austin Waldorf is seeming more budget focused and the teacher for our grade certainly really let us down and did not even have the care for us as a family to speak with us directly. I would avoid this particular Waldorf.

    Beautiful campus with beautiful traditions. It is easy to get swept up in the idea of the school…read more Met the most wonderful, involved, and caring parents and a couple of wonderful teachers too. This school, however has absolutely failed my children academically. If you have a child that is neurodiverse, this school cannot meet their needs. If you have a child that is gifted, they will not be able to meet their full potential. The class sizes are at 30-33 in 1st and 2nd grade! My child's teacher assured us multiple times that my child would get the help they need. In the end my child's teacher, who had been his teacher for 1.5 years "strongly encouraged" us to find a new school midyear, with no warning. All of the previous reassurance, that they had resources for his learning needs, from her swept away. Now the same teacher is asking for parent volunteers to go in and teach children, not their own, to read. She cannot meet the needs of these children, yet you will not hear this, when the class size concern is brought up at parent meetings. You will be reassured over and over until your child has fallen so far behind, they need multiple interventions to catch up to where they should be or where they were before they started this school. My daughter was advanced for her age before this school. She requested to go back to homeschooling. She would sit in class, at AWS, with her hand raised and never get any help. She was quiet and not one of the louder children yelling out for help. She said she could not focus and would get pushed around by the boys on the playground. The school purposely holds children back from progressing "too fast." They have reasons for this. The issue is the class sizes hinder the children from moving as quickly as they need to, given the Waldorf methods, when they reach the appropriate age/grade level to do so; and they refuse to change. You will hear promises of expanding the grades to have fewer children in the classroom. This has been a promise for years. They have yet to follow through and deny any issues, even though there are many. The teachers do not fight for their students. The office staff is sweet, but when you get down to the people truly in charge, they only care about money.

    it has a good, vision I have to say but this isn't somewhere you want your kids going. they hold…read moredances and at the most recent one they sent kids home because a kid fell off the stage and had a seizure and there was a pool of blood. on November 2nd there was a emergency chai/bed spotted in front of the counselors office and a backpack laying on it and the principal was just Standing there oblivious to the emergency truck outside. the teachers are some what nice but some of them make us there therapists and tell us "Why did I pick this job" and (its kids like you that make me hate this job led alone school" honestly if they had the audacity to say that to KIDS NOT TEENAGERS KIDS they better be called out for it. the only fun thing about this school is there elective classes and even those are sometimes trash. ALSO I HERED A SUBSTITUTE SAY TO A 6th GRADER "how dose you're mom let you go out in that kind of clothing !?" THE KID DID NOTHING WRONG SHE WAS JUST WEARING SHORTS and the best part is they were showing ANYTHIN. everyone was saying you can't say that but did the sub care??? NO that old lady was confident in her critique

    terrible school. i've been going to bailey for 2 years and it's almost the end of 7th. councilors…read moreare the worst. they say they will take things "seriously" but the don't unless it's life threatening. i understand they think that's more important but the small things can lead up to endangerment. i had a boy call me a fa**ot 5 times and it took them 5 weeks to take care of it. not to mention that boy had no consequences at all. not even lunch detention, even when i mentioned when he was bullying a kid with autism. the councilors really don't care. i have bad ADHD and people talk a lot in class and bully me and when i went to the councilors for help and explained thoroughly they called me "lazy." i don't trust the councilors with anything. also a very small percentage of the staff is kind to their students. i had a piece of candy and a teacher grabbed my wrist and dumped it in the trash can. when i reported the incident she said "if you complain to the principal i'll give you a referral." mind you i reported it 10 times to the principal, vice principal, and other head staff. guess what happened? nothing. kids get bullied constantly and picked on for whatever. i don't even feel safe at that school. in 6th grade i had a teacher yell at my class of 5 students who were very kind every day even when we completed our work and listened. we weren't talking or anything. he yelled at me for asking where to submit my assignments. also he called our class "trash" and "r*******" and me and several students reported each over 5 times. guess what happened? not anything until the end of the year. not to mention some substitutes are homophobic and very rude. next topic, they have terrible pests and don't pay to get rid of them. rats behind the bleachers, scorpions, and tons of cockroaches!!! anyway, if you read this, would not recommend to send your kid here. it's terrible and not a healthy environment.

    I want to share my family's exceptional experience with Fusion Academy. I hope to help other…read morefamilies find not only success in learning but something even greater. Building their kids' confidence and belief in their own academic abilities. In Austin we have so many private schools to choose from. We are so happy and thrilled to have found Fusion Academy. My child entered Fusion at the start of grade six. Due to her previous school experiences, she was terrified of being seen and judged, and she trusted neither those around her nor her own learning abilities. With Fusion's one-on-one learning style and willingness to match kids with the appropriate teachers and support, my daughter quickly grew to trust her teachers and herself. We believe a school is only as strong as their LEADER!!! Thanks to our amazing principle and staff. Not only has she had a world-class education but she grew in all the ways you hope for in a teen. She is strong and witty but mostly she is compassionate and caring. She applied to 5 top tier private schools got into 3 with 2 offering merit scholarships and a wait list for 1 she is definitely prepared for college and beyond. We will be forever grateful for our daughter's Fusion Academy education! Fusion Forever Parents

    Let me tell you my story. I am writing probably the longest review I have ever written and may ever…read morewrite. I do so because of one reason. I am humbled. On my knees humbled. So here goes: I was at the end...of so many roads. I had thought that my child and I were on the same page, but then high school hit like a Ram Truck. You name it, it happened. Let's call my child Simon-Jane (not my child's real name). Simon-Jane went from being an "A" student in middle school to everything crumbling apart 9th grade. Sure, I could blame social media, bullying, boys, girls, women, men, capitalism, relatives getting sick, whatever--but it all went south so fast I couldn't even keep up. And then Simon-Jane wanted absolutely nothing to do with me and hid out at dad's house for months. As hard as I tried, nothing felt like it could reverse the situation. I became That Mom, sitting alone at the coffee shop, researching something that could save the situation, but just sat there, crying. Yes, crying. Nothing could have made Simon-Jane see the young adult growing inside, but also see the learner that was still in there, the smart person, someone who is on the track to be independent, go to college even, become the fantastic person inside that I knew was there but was somehow trapped in some far away teenage land that was so radically different from what I had ever experienced. When it got to the point where either Simon-Jane was going to leave public school and do God-knows-what or find some private school that could somehow turn it all around, I started frantically looking at every private school. Huntington-Surrey, Griffin, other tutoring centers, etc. AND THANK THE UNIVERSE that I somehow heard someone mention Fusion and then I found the sole yelp review here from 2017 and decided to take a chance and tour. Simon-Jane was hesitant--one-to-one classes, study halls, etc. A radically different model than the whole class setting. But we left public school literally in the nick of time before grades caved, and transferred to Fusion. I won't kid you. It is expensive. Freaking expensive. I am struggling to meet the tuition payments. BUT it has set my kid on a road that as about to close. Or become a road that was extremely bumpy with many other diversions. Sure, Simon-Jane is resilient and could have found a way on an easier path, but it could have been a hard, hard road for many years. One teacher to one student is expensive, but guess what? 8 hrs a day of one teacher per class to one student for each subject and IT WORKS! Now, only a few short months have filled in years of unresolved learning deficits, saved a whole YEAR of school and now, yes, almost all A's. You might be thinking to yourself: well for that kind of money, your kid should be getting all A's because you are paying for it! But, no, it is not like that. The one-to-one model not only got Simon-Jane to see the learner inside again, but then to be vulnerable enough to show where weaknesses were that public school never could have caught. Each subject works on a mastery level and the student has to meet those criteria that are self-driven (not state imposed) to find and resolve deficits. And guess what. Simon-Jane is going to college! Scholarships are coming in! Simon-Jane sees the learner inside and a very very bright future ahead! But I could never, ever, ever in a million years have turned it around. It was only through all of the love and patience and tough love and deliberate teaching and mentoring and focus on wellness and the whole student that we are now on a new course! I am humbled. I am so incredibly indebted to everyone at Fusion. Cody: thank you for leading this incredible group of teachers! Laura and Jourdan and Liz: you all are troopers to the 9th degree! To the Goddesses and Gods at Fusion: Meara, Taralynn, Julie, Leticia, Theresa, Seamus, Jannell, Jelly, Isabella, Taylor, and so many other people...Thank you, thank you so so very much. You each have given and give so much each day. I celebrate and honor each of you!!!! And to Simon-Jane: If you ever read this and figure out that this is me talking about you, I want you to know that I love you, I honor you, and I thank you for believing in yourself and your life path again. You have taught me more about living and releasing control and allowing and I can say thank you. Thank you. To all of you reading out there: I know that things are crazy and hard and sometimes difficult to find a way to light. But you can. Maybe it will be Fusion, maybe it will be another place. But I send you to find that way with so much love. To life!! To Fusion!
