The teachers help prepare students for high school not only through strong academics but also by reinforcing personal responsibility and accountability. The school masses involve every grade level. The school has a small daycare beginning at age 2. The school has grades PK4 to 8th grade. The students graduate St Luke well prepared for Catholic or private high school or public. #StLukeCatholic

We've been pleased with our daughter's spiritual and academic growth at Shepherd of the Hills…read more She's attended both the child care and school and will be moving into the Kindergarten program soon. Dedicated teachers and staff create a nurturing environment where she's thrived, and the curriculum and care she's received are both supportive and foster a love for learning. There's a strong sense of tightly-knit community among the families at Shepherd, too - helpful when you need a village around! We've found no shortage of child development opportunities here with a wide diversity of programs available that range from culinary arts, musical interests, tennis, robotics and more. They've also added new facilities and are renovating and updating other areas of the campus on an ongoing basis - a positive sign that Shepherd is vested into consistently supporting the school for the future. We recommend Shepherd to anyone seeking a quality education for their child in a Christ centered environment.

They…read morepreviously attended school on Lackland AFB but once we retired they were no longer eligible to go there. We had heard bad things about Hobby middle school so we decided to look into private. Disclosure - I am not catholic and honestly, the catholic teaching does nothing for me. It was not a factor in attending. I had heard that most of the teachers at St G had Masters degree so I expected a really great curriculum. I was badly disappointed when I saw the condition of the school supplies (books, etc) and the classrooms. All the desks and chairs are mismatched. Like they are hand me downs from other schools. We paid over $14,000 in tuition for what appears to be a school with less resources than a public school. One of my kids is failing the required Spanish course because they don't do an intro, it is grade level. So if you are in 7th grade and you never took Spanish before well good luck because you are learning it at 7th grade level now. We had to pay for a tutor to help because the after school tutoring they offer at St G is basically supervised homework session. When we asked the teacher about additional assistance she complained that she had too many students (16 students!). My kids will not be attending next year as we got accepted into a charter school. If your kids did not attend from early grades (k-2) they will not know the culture when they arrive and all of the parents and students are very clickish. I would not recommend this school. After 1 year of attendance we are moving on to a different school.

I've hesitated to write this review for some time, but after seeing recent allegations against the…read moreschool, I feel it is important to share my experience. While our first year was smooth, the second year revealed systemic issues in how the school is managed and how they are dismissive serious student concerns. There were 4 primary areas of concern that led to me pulling my child from this school- Inappropriate Spiritual Guidance: My child was told by the Pastor's wife that if he wasn't a "good kid," his heart would become "dirty" and he would die. Using fear and mortality as a disciplinary tool for a young child is spiritually and emotionally damaging. Academic Management: Despite a very small class size of only six students, a significant amount of classwork was consistently sent home for me to supervise and correct. I was told this was to prevent him from losing recess which i didn't agree with at all , but with a 6:1 student to teacher ratio, I expected the educator to be able to manage individual student progress and corrections during school hours. Response to Bias : One of the most upsetting incidents involved a student telling my son to "go back to his country." When I requested a meeting to discuss how the school promotes an inclusive environment, the response from leadership was dismissive. Instead of addressing the harm caused, the Principal stated they "don't talk about race" and her dad/ the Pastor of the church on campus proceeded to share a tone-deaf anecdote about owning an "Aunt Jemima" cookie jar and not understanding why a visitor found it offensive. Lastly, My child was not served lunch one day and went the entire day with only a snack. When questioned, the teacher blamed my son for "not speaking up." He later told me he was too embarrassed to ask because the teacher had been threatening the class all week that they "wouldn't get pizza" if they didn't behave. Using food as a bargaining chip or threat is cruel. Lack of Accountability: When I informed the Principal we were leaving, there was no concern for my childs well-being or the reasons for our departure. The immediate response was that "per the handbook, tuition is still due for two months." It became clear that the administration and faculty --which is heavily insulated by family ties--is not at all equipped to handle modern social dynamics or provide a supportive, inclusive atmosphere. Issues are swept under the rug rather than addressed with the transparency and growth one would expect from an educational institution.

RPA is like homeschooling on steroids. The kids get a concentrated education, learn more than they ever would in public school and are free from distractions and bad behavior. One of the reasons we didn't want our kids going to public school is the lack of parental accountability for children's discipline and behavior. I love that RPA recognizes kids have bad days but does not tolerate ongoing discipline issues that distract from the classroom and influence other kids to behave the same way. The parents have built a unique community and often spend time together on the playground after school while the kids play. It is Little House on the Prarie meets modern-day San Antonio.

Instead they let him cry the whole time he was there, and out of two weeks of going they only picked him up once. I watched on the camera app (which is very grainy and has no sound) and the teachers would literally just ignore him. There's no cameras outside and I had enough of this place when I surprise picked him up and he was sitting outside in the heat next to the door scream crying and no one was paying him any attention. They said he had been crying the whole time. I literally can't believe it. Pick him up! Nurture him! Help him feel safe! Instead they took away his stuffed animal puppy and just let him cry. Sending my 18 month old boy to this place is my biggest regret as a parent so far.
