My child is now in their second year attending this school. My child has had more A's than in five years in public school. However, when arrangements are made for 6th-8th graders to go on an out-of-town field trip to a Turkish fair, you'd think at least the students taking Turkish foreign language class would be first to have seats on the bus, rather than the students taking Spanish. I think it's very unfortunate that the number of students, teachers, and chaperones were not taken into account when reserving a bus. How are you going to call THE DAY BEFORE and tell the parent there's no room for about 20 students, not to mention that the school staff left it up to the parents of the negated students to inform them they are being left at the school while the other approximately 100 students and classmates are allowed to go? There are many more things that are not right with this school, such as the teachers losing assignments or not recording grades, erroneous charges to lunch accounts even when the student is absent, doctor's notes brought in and given to homeroom teachers never making it to the front office for accountability, etc.

My child was in a public school in the Judson school district and was not being challenged. I pulled her out and placed her in the school of science and technology. She is making straight A's and loving school. The teachers and staff are absolutely wonderful. I am so glad I learned about this school. Now I know she can reach her full potential.

This school believes the staff and parents are a team, working with the child towards his/her success. I have never seen a school care about the academic levels of EVERY child in the school. They give a whole new meaning to no child left behind. AND they listen to their parents. A few parents were noticing some unkind behavior between students, so they discussed it with an administrator. The administrator took action and the entire school had an Anti-Bullying week. The students learned about what is bullying, what to do if you know about someone that is bullying and even how to choose to not be a bully. I know my kids are getting an education that meets the highest academic standards from people that truely care for them. These teachers help them overcome their weaknesses and encourage their strengths. Thank you SST-Alamo!

The School of Science and Technology is a unique school with a nurturing environment. Teachers truly care about the success of all students, and go above and beyond with extracurricular activities. Teachers participate in many activities along with students and their families in order to foster good lines of communication and support.

As a teacher at SST Alamo, I have found the environment to be wonderful for all students from those that are gifted to struggling learners. The faculty acts as a family and truly cares about all students under their care. Nowhere else have I seen a campus go so above and beyond to keep parents informed and involved in their students academic lives. You would not be disappointed if you chose to enroll your student at our campus.

Great enviornment for students and teachers alike! I am a teacher at SST-Alamo and I must say that I love working here. The staff is like family to me and the administrators are great. I love that we have such open communication with the parents; I know that I can contact a parent for any question or concern. The students here are great as well.

This will be our second year with SST Alamo and we highly recommend SST Alamo to everyone. Coming from a private school setting, there is a huge difference with SST Alamo in preparing our children for academic success. SST Alamo administrators, teachers and staff members are highly motivated to build a solid learning foundation for our sons' future. The online resources and personalized tutoring to help our sons' master each subject is wonderful to have. Thank you everyone at SST Alamo for continuing to strive to be the best school in San Antonio, Texas.

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. 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.
