This school is definitely not for everyone. You will know if you are not a good fit for this school. You will be treated differently in a negative manner and you will know you are not wanted at this school. When you have had enough you will decide to leave.

As a long-time parent of this school, I receive an email notice anytime a review is posted about CSA. I'm intelligent enough to form my own opinion about the practices of this school and I certainly suspect that any parent whom blatantly posts such negative comments (referring to the negative comment from 9-7-12) must have broken rules and just doesn't like being asked to follow reasonable processes. The most wonderful thing about CSA is that you are not stuck with it as your only alternative. If it is not a good fit for your family, you can choose something else. Simple as that. It's been my experience that, no matter what school you attend, the registrar is required to seek a reason for the tardy and no age is exempt from supplying the "why". How ridiculous for a parent to act as if that is wrong. If you don't like your children being asked why they are tardy......get your kids to school on time. Simple as that. As far as the other comments from this parent.....they have no value with me. The comments about tardies are proof enough this parent has a skewed idea about the way things SHOULD be. Thank you CSA! I love this school!

My daughter has attended Star for 2 years and loves it. The smaller class size and individual attention it affords are fabulous. It is definitely not the school for everyone however if your child is highly involved in a sport and is self motivated and disciplined- it may be a perfect fit. For my child, it has worked very well- she goes to school, comes home and eats a healthy lunch and then does homework for 3-4 hours. When she is done, she goes to her sport training classes. When she was in public school, she would go straight from school to training and had to eat and do homework in the car- definitely not ideal. Now, my child is learning and thriving at Star. I also think the condensed schedule is a nice preparation for college- you go to class lectures and learn for a small portion of your day, get your assignments and then have to budget your time to complete your work and succeed. No place is right for everyone but Star has certainly been a great fit for our family.

Perfect school for us! Chaparral Star Academy is not for everyone, we have met lots of people that it doesn't work for. What we love: No fluff- all those things I hated at public school, we don't have to worry about here. No cafeteria headaches (they do not eat lunch at school), no wasted time lining up in the hall to be shuttled to another class (and yelled at by the teachers while doing so), no "dead time" during class, no recess. Zero tolerance for discipline issues. It is such a relief to not have to worry about your child one bit when sending him to school each day. Instead of him coming home with stories of who got in trouble that day and what they did to whom, he has only stories about what they learned and discovered. Love having the same teachers for several years in a row, I feel that they really get to know my child's strengths and weaknesses and we don't have to spend half the year getting to know a new teachers' way of doing things. What's not to love about a 4 hour school day! He's happy, we're happy!

Good school. Students are only limited by their own initiative and motivation. ISDs do not compare.

My daughter is doing so well at Star. I've watched Star grow for the past 10 years and have to say, it is better now than it has ever been. It seems the only people unhappy with Star are the ones who fail to realize that Star is simply not for everyone. It's a demanding school suited for serious students. Any struggling student is better off at a school that does not have such a rigorous model. For students and families looking for a college prep academy, look no further than Chaparral Star Academy. I'm so glad Star has an administration interested in consistent improvement and professionalism.

My daughter came from another Charter School. We LOVE Star. The teachers are amazing, loving and committed. Both Mrs. Hagin (the Principal) and Mr. Barnett (the Asst. Principal) are dedicated to the school the represent and the students. They are both outside during drop-off and pick-up supervising the students they care so much about. You can actually tell by the way they "protect" the children crossing the parking lot that the children are their priority. The teachers are just as wonderful as the administrative staff. I honestly can't say one bad thing about the school, the principals or the staff. Highly recommend. Students are encouraged to go above and beyond. WONDERFUL!!

There are some great advantages being at Star - small class sizes, K-12th grade curriculum, very involved parents, and a few amazing teachers. It's a great school for parents who can put forth the amount of time needed to help their student(s) with homework, etc because that is the only way for a child to be successful at this school. However, the atmosphere is less than desirable. The many involved parents are entitled and demanding and, among the teachers, there are very few who go above and beyond what they consider their "duties" to students (in other words not many "invested" teachers), especially among the much younger grade levels. It's a disconnected feeling you notice when you are there but a place great for that homeschooling family looking for a little more. Just don't expect to be "wow"ed - other than with the new school building.

My daughters have been attending Star Charter School for 4 years. We love Mr. Simon and Mrs. Richardson. They have been very instrumental in my girls learning. I hope to see my kids graduate from SCS in the future. I hope they NEVER open up the class sizes, because that is where things will change.

I am a new parent that just enrolled my child in star (he was previously homeschooled). I found that I really enjoyed the feel and friendliness of the campus when we visited. You don't feel the need to dress your child in expensive clothes in order to fit in. The school is exemplary, but my son has been far ahead academically so we do supplement at home. So far it has been an enjoyable experience and we love the afternoon session.
—Submitted by a parent
We have been highly disappointed in this school so far this year. We will not be sending our son here next year. I am not even sure if we will continue until the end of this year.

Star is great for challenging yourself. If you know you need harder classes, or just want to try to better your education then Star is the place for you.

Star is an educational gem, which allows teachers to teach the students instead of just drilling them with TAKS test items. The faculty is happy, which is a great sign of 'strong bones'. The administration, captained by a wonderful Texas dynamo, has injected integrity and professionalism into a wonderful learning community that lacked strong leadership in the past. The campus, which will soon be moving to a new building, promotes a small, close-knit community of learners. The students are respectful and hard-working. Teachers are kind, supportive, and determined to see their students succeed. The only downside is that the current campus is 'less than desirable'. However, the principal demands a secure setting for the students, leaving me confident that my children are in good hands. A brand-new school building is in the works and should open by next fall. Star's TEA 'Exemplary' rating speaks for itself.

I have mixed emotions on Star. My child has been going there for many years, I'm concerned about some of the highschool teachers. Mrs. Hall is new, and my daughter loved her, she did a great job teaching algebra. My child did very well on the TAKS test thanks to her help and wonderful teaching skills! Dr. Domel is another good teacher who has been a big blessing to us! I'm concerned about some of the other teachers temperments. I don't know if I'm going to leave my child in this year or not. We'll just have to see!

When it's only a few weeks to summer break and the kids start complaining that they don't want school to end, you know you have them at the right place! The principal is serious about keeping Star shining bright. The teachers are upbeat and inspiring. The student body consists of the best groups of kids I've ever seen. And, the new school building is due to open in October. I couldn't be more pleased!!!

This school has been such a blessing to our family. Our son, while getting burned out in a public school, now embraces learning. The educators are top-notch. The Principal is professional and taking the school to a higher level. I find some of the negative views interesting....example-the classrooms are capped at 15 kids per class. That can not change when we move to a new building. It's part of our charter!

My husband and I could not be happier with the school, the teachers, the administration, or the excellent education our boys are receiving. Our kids have been there for 4 years and they are learning and loving it. The teachers all care about their students, current and past, and are always willing to help them. The change in administration has been wonderful. Changes have been made that were necessary, and sometimes it takes stepping back and looking at the whole picture to fullu understand and appreciate why the changes were made. The new school is a wonderful facility that can provide more opportunities for students as well as for parents who may wish to volunteer. The larger school does not change the teacher/student ratio, there will still only be a maximum of fifteen students per class. Star has been a blessing to our family.

The new leadership is providing what Star Charter has needed for years...Leadership. There have been parents and faculty that have fallen under the false assumption that they are at a private school that they run. In many cases in recent years that has been sadly true. That chaff is being blown to wind. The new building will be a blessing and a magnet to draw students and educators to this excellent program.
—Submitted by a parent
The school's principal is not providing the leadership that is needed. Teachers are ruling the school. Some teaches are good, but others do whatever they want and are not good role models for the students. The principal is not responsive to parents's concerns.
—Submitted by a parent
Very disappointed in this school. The principal could care less about the safety of the children. There are a few great teachers and a few terrible teachers. I would rather homeschool my kids then have them attend this school. It's dirty and nothing what I expected.

In 2010-2011, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) was used to test students in reading in grades 3 through 9; in writing in grades 4 and 7; in English language arts in grades 10 and 11; in mathematics in grades 3 through 11; in science in grades 5, 8, 10 and 11; and in social studies in grades 8, 10 and 11. TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas. The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
The different student groups are identified by the Texas Education Agency; if there are a small number of students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.

Texas uses Accountability Ratings to indicate the overall performance of each school and district. The ratings are based on TAKS test results, dropout rates for grades 7 and 8 and school completion rates for grades 9 through 12. Schools and districts rated under standard accountability procedures are designated as Exemplary, Recognized, Academically Acceptable or Academically Unacceptable. Schools and districts rated under alternative education accountability (AEA) procedures are designated as either AEA: Academically Acceptable or AEA: Academically Unacceptable.
