I sent my daughter to this school last year, and now I have her in a private school. This school is very large with a lot of classes for each grade. There are far too many students in classes these days, so we decided to go back to a private school. With that being said, I do have to say that this is a good school. Despite the fact that my daughter was one of many students in her class, she did well academically. This school is very competative academically, so you can bet your child is going to learn a lot. If you don't have a problem with the number of students in one classroom, then this school is for you. They will provide your child with a good education.

I went by this school before I bought my home in Sienna Plantation because my daughter would start kindergarten in the Fall. It was the last week of school, and, as a former teacher I knew that I would hate to be judged on how my class looked at the end of the year. I apologized and said I just wanted to take a quick peek at the kindergarten. They immediately gave me a full tour of the school and I was stunned at how well-behaved, attentive and happy the students seemed. We bought the house and I have not been disappointed in the school at all. Her teachers have been caring and attentive to my daughters needs and she loves going to school.

This school is located in an awesome, family-oriented, newer community resulting in top quality students & parents. My daughter was in Kindergarten '06-07 and began to learn reading and writing, much to my amazement for this age. The school truly focuses on academics, preparing our children early-on for a successful future. The only drawback is the school is PACKED beyond maximum capacity and growing, especially considering parents want to get their child in this particular new school. But even with the overcrowding issue, the school does a great job and is considered on of the best, located in a great school district: Fort Bend ISD.

My daughter is in kindergarten and is having a terrific year. Her teacher is strict but caring and progress since September in reading, writing and basic math concepts has been phenomenal. My only serious concern this year has been about safety during the school day. We live in a very family-oriented and child-aware neighborhood but I think that can make school leaders lax about the safety required to watch over our children. There have been no serious incidences but a few minor ones that have caused concerns. Parents are very involved, the PTO is an active organization from what I see and there are lots of opportunities for parents to volunteer their time. In FBISD, kindergartners get one class per week in music, art, PE, health and character classes. I wish more fine art programs could be included in the schedule but thats a function of our education environment as a whole, not FBISD.
