South Texas Preparatory Academy

STPA was such a great school. Yes, there were many times at night I wanted to go crazy because of all the work. But that all is worth it in the end. I learn so much from the school and feel very accomplished when I do well in my classes. Work that is hard for regular public school students comes easier to us STPA students. I am graduating from this school with three high school credits. All the teachers are very caring for their students and give you many options. The counselors are wonderful. The students are real nice. You cannot go wrong with STPA! I went to this school for two years and I recommend it!

STPA is a tuition-free magnet junior high school serving 7-8 grade students. The staff is very supportive and willing to go the extra mile to ensure the success of all students.

Having just joined this school, I feel the staff has been very positive, and cares very much for their students. We have many different interventions to not allow students to fall through the cracks. Technology-wise, we are pretty advanced and have a few people always looking for more. Finally, our Principal Ana Castro is a blessing for our school. She has always supported the teachers, the students, and the parents. The perfect principal for this school.
