It breaks my heart to say this but our experience at Treetops overall has only been mediocre. Our children have had some very good teachers and some really awful teachers. The good ones have recognized our children's strengths and weaknesses.. They have really worked to bring out the best, academically, in our children. The awful teachers have very rarely communicated any positive remarks about our children. They don't let us know when our kids are doing good things, only when they've done some not so good things. I don't understand why these teachers continue to be renewed when the administration knows this is an ongoing issue with multiple families. I don't know how much longer we will continue to put up with the mediocrity.

After searching for a school that would recognize our children's individual character without downplaying the educational process for many years, I had just about given up. This school is a gem! Every person on campus cares about my kids! My 11th grader just completed his 3rd year, scored way above the national and state SAT scores, and still loves school. Who could ask for any more than that? My middle school student has decided she wants to be a social worker because of the community service she has participated in for the last 3 years. Wow!

This is our third year at Treetops and I continue to be amazed at the level of care, level of dedication, and the level of quality education my children receive. That is true from the caretaker to the director and every person in between.

Academics continue to become more and more rigorous as my students continue through the grades. I love this school!

Our family has just completed the first six weeks at Treetops after having been in a private school for the last 4 years. The change from private to public was something I was dreading. Sometimes the dread is worse than the deed. Our daughters teachers have demonstrated nothing but a caring dedicated effort towards our daughters education. The classes are small (14 to 1), the atmosphere respectful, and a challenging currifuclum is taught. I love the parent portal for grades, the standardized benchmarks to insure the curriculum is up to state standards and the simple fact they care about my child.

What a difference Treetops has made for my family. I have students in every level of this school and could not be more pleased. Parents are involved as they choose to be but the faculty is involved every day, for every student. I do not have any experience with students who have special needs or learning disabilities, but my four children have excelled in all classes and have exceptional scores on state and national tests (ACT and SAT). I love that all students are welcome, nurtured and given the opportunity to be whoever they choose to be.

For the record the TEA does not have it in for Treetops. Aside from a takeover a couple of years back and one hiring issue from like 2005 the TEA has had no issues with this school. It's a good place. My own children have had only positive experiences there. As for the idea that test driven schools are the wave of the future I agree. Has hands on learning really been shown to provide a better school experience for kids? My belief is the work force is in need of people who have information and know how to access it. Seat work worked for my parents and grandparents. It will work just fine for kids in the present. As for the "environment" of Treetops yes it's a bit of a burden. I'm sure the school is looking to develop alot of the acreage around it with classroom buildings because the ways of the past are outdated. My guess is that if the school could sell off a good chunck of it's 20 acres it would.

Love this school! The people in charge are friendly, firm adult educators not my childrens friends or buddies. They expect the best effort in work and behavior. They continue to work for a common goal, which is my childrens education. There is an environment which holds its best teachers by convincing faculty there is a place that believes in them; which is trickled down to the students by the modeling they see everyday.

First semester at Treetops has been wonderful!! We love this school, the teacher, the principal and the campus.

Social media is a wonderful tool but I hope as people read these reviews they are aware that there is no filter by anyone. Treetops is a wonderful school that offers a different learning environment while exceeding the State of Texas requirements and the private school accreditation. I am sure that people are not always happy with everything but that is true with every school. The director and teachers care. Is it perfect? No, isany school? My children (ages 9-16) have developed into their own at this school and we couldnot be happier.

After reading all of the reviews about Treetops both positive and negative I decided that we would give this school a chance and moved both of my children there this year. I can not say enough good things about this school, both of my children have adjusted to the small setting and have been accepted by their classmates. We have found that one of our children is behind coming from AISD into this school and his teacher has been exceptional with helping him get to where he needs to be. The communication has been great with us and their teachers, if I have had any concerns their teachers have responded with care and understanding. There is a trade off going to such a small school, but the things they have gained are much better than what they have given up.

Treetops is the best decision we could have made for our boys. The classes are small and they are getting the one on one attention they could not get in public schools. I love the communication from the teachers and office staff. I love that I can go up there at anytime and see my kids or have lunch with them. They are happy and learning and that is all I can ask for.

Treetops was not for us. My child just finished his first full week at his new school, and we could not be happier with our decision to leave Treetops. Reading through these reviews, I have to agree with most of the negative ones. Many parents who are seeking a quality education for their children end up leaving this school due to poor leadership, limited enrichment, and a poor curriculum that does not challenge students who are capable of excelling past the state's minimum requirements. However, if you have a child with emotional/behavioral issues or ADHD, this school provides a very conducive learning environment to help guide these students through the school day.

My son and daughter have attended Treetops for several years. I have watched them develop a close but appropriate relationship with their teachers as well as the school director. I love how they are so comfortable with who they are and have taken a real interest in their education. The philosophy of "giving back" that the director continues to foster is from K-12 and makes me a proud parent of the Treetops community. It is a recognized campus that has also continued to make the federal annual progress, something that many schools in the Fort Worth area cannot say.

As the husband of a teacher at Treetops along with having all 3 of my boys going there, I have been very happy with Treetops. I get to see both sides (teaching & learning) every year. While it s not perfect (I wish it had more extracurricular actives such as sports), my wife loves teaching there as much as my boys love going there. Most of the teachers are good and the administration has been very responsive to any issues that we have brought up. The small classes are great for my boys to get individual attention. I am also proud that they worked hard to bring their rating back up to Recognized this year. Unlike some of the other negative posts, I don t think the school is dirty & love the outdoor feel of the campus. As for the Co-Op hours complaints I saw, I know many private schools require the same on top of your tuition. So consider it as way to give back to your children s education.

Every school year I wonder who my students teachers will be, who thier friends are, and what their favorite subject will be. After being part of the Treetops family for the last three years I am so secure in knowing they are in good hands. There is no fear for their safety, there is no fear of them being lost in the crowd. Ms. Lou knows my children because she cares, not because they have been sent to the office! The academic rating continues to be strong, both for the TAKS test as well as the high school ACT and SAT scores. Treetops is such a well kept secret, but I want the world to know IT IS A GREA t school!

Next week my children will begin their 6th year at Treetops. Our family experienced a traditional public school education for two years prior to finding Treetops. We were not looking for a cookie cutter education, so Treetops is a perfect fit. As a family we are blessed to have a wonderful relationship with the Director, our children's teachers, and a diverse student population. Looking for a PTO, cold cafeteria, or a sterile "walk like Me, look like Me" environmnet??? treetops is not for you, but it is for us!! Great Job!!

Treetops is exactly what it claims. Teachers do eat with the students, it is part of the experience. Teachers have a planning period, for heavens sake, Visit and Judge for yourself. This is a school with a history all itsown,not the public school down the street ran by a select group of parents underthe guise of a PTO. Thank goodness.

No one has ever asked meor anyone else to write a review, but have asked to tell a friend! Treetopsis a wonderful school. I am shocked that people are so quickto blame schools for their own issues. We love this school, but if it is not for you that is ok too! As a family this school works for us. We love ms lou, ms leigh and all the teachers.

I love the idea of school of choice. No one should have had any suprises as to how the campus is run, where the students eat or any of the other complaints as it is all described and tours are gievn by Mrs. Leigh the first time you inquire about the school. The parents should never be allowed to run the school but should always have the freedom to move on if it does not work for them. For my family, and no one recruited me to write this, it just works. I love the setting, the teachers, and the director. If you are not happy, move on, but for over three hundred dedicated families Treetops is a GREAT school.

About the tests


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.
