My daughter loves this school, and her teacher. She was very nervous about starting this year because it's a new school. After her day she was so excited! I was to of course because I wanted her to like her new environment. St. George's Place has a lot to offer our children in the edication, and extraciricular activities. The staff is very attentative to the parents and children. Wonderfull school I give them 6 stars.

This is a new year for my family and I at St. George Place, but I am very excited about this move. The staff is extremely busy as this is a new school, but they always seem to have time to help. I strongly believe this will be the best experience I have had in the HISD school district since relocating to Houston 6 years ago. Thank you all nad hats off!
