Quit complaining and take your kids elsewhere then!!! My kids love the school and have been able to express themselves freely. (Regarding Dec 20 post)

So much wasted potential. I have given this school a good long time but it has become apparent that they just cannot be taken seriously as a quality school. Their premise is great but it isn't put into practice. No PE, promises of new programs that never happen, and underpaid and stressed out faculty leading to horrible teacher turnover. It's great to have no uniforms, kids can have purple hair, but my teenaged child is begging to go somewhere where there is an academic challenge! Not good for gifted or special ed (we have both) as teaching is to the test and individual learning styles are ignored. An abundance of thuggy types that were kicked out of other schools. Good place to go for pregnant teens or those who have nowhere else to go, but if your child is especially bright they will be bored here and if they have any special education needs they will not receive adequate accommodations. You'll be dealing with the upheaval of a special ed kid getting a new teacher 2 or 3 times a year! Horrible communication too, never know what is going on at school until the kids say something directly. The good teachers move on to better pay and respect, only a few good ones remain.

This school is amazing! I was having a hard time at my old school i was pregnant and every teacher at my school would judge me n said i wasnt going to graduate . Kids would look at me and talk about me so i decided to move to this school. Here i found the love and support from everyone especially teacher. They understood my situation and did everything posible for me to get my education on track. what ever question i had about my work they had the time to sit there with you and teach it to you untill you would understand. In about 3 months i went from a junior to a senior and was ready to graduate. I thank this school for giving me the opportunity to graduate and be able to give my son a better life. Thank you
i GRADUATED FROM SASIC IN 2006 THE MEMORIES I CREATED THERE IN THE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME I WAS THERE ARE PRICELESS. THE FACULTY THERE REALLY CARE ABOUT THE STUDENTS AND GET INVOLVED MORE THAN ANY SCHOOL I HAD ATTENDED. IT IS THE BEST SCHOOL BY FAR. THE ACADEMICS, THE TEACHERS, THE SURROUNDINGS, HARD TO IMAGINE THAT TEACHERS COULD CARE SO MUCH ABOUT A STUDENT'S EDUCATION. I NOT ONLY ATTENDED THIS SCHOOL I WORKED THERE FOR A YEAR AFTERWARDS, AND LET ME TELL YOU THE EXPERIENCE I GAINED WHILE EMPLOYED THERE WAS MORE THAN I COULD EVER HOPE FOR. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANYONE ANY DAY.
SASIC has blossomed over the years. I recommend that you always try SASIC first. If it doesn't fit you, you'll know it pretty quickly. No uniforms - if this is important to your child, SASIC is the answer. Individuality and expression are subtly encouraged in all classes. Behavior problems are quickly expelled so if you have problems with fights, don't even put yourself through it. Awesome special needs department guys will personally tutor your child. (not wheelchair friendly, but GREAT with LD and ADHD kids)

This school has the right focus. Make education enjoyable and challenging. My daughter is learning for the first time in 8 years. I wish we had enrolled her earlier. She got commended on all of her TAKS tests this year. At her previous public school she would barley pass.

All three of my children started this year and they love it. I am so glad my 13 year old son is doing well, and loves school better now that he is there. I was very worried at first, but they told me they can't miss school for any reason at all.

What so great.... They allow kids to be kids and fun interactive learning, love it.... Great school
This school was amazing! the teachers were great, friendly, and caring. My parents agreed as well. I learned to play the drums and very well at age 13, and already study math at a college level. They take the time to explain everything and make it fun for me to want to learn! mrs. Parker is a wonderful teacher, maybe if the best i've had. Sure, some parents see kids with different behavior and clothing, they're just trying to be part of the new 'cool' around there. They seemed so 'horrible' when i first saw everyone, but they are all very good people.

I attended S.A.S.I.C for about a year . Up untill I went there I thought of school as a joke. They taught me not only to be myself but to always do my best in any and everything I do. The staff is incredible its like they care.

SASIC is a wonderful school. My daughter attends the middle school and she actually loves to go to school. She has learned so many things out of the 'norm' as well as the state required work. There is a lot of art going on. The teachers are wonderful and the administration seems to be doing a great job. If you want a memorable education for your child - this is the place!

My son was totally transformed for the better at the San Antonio School for Inquiry and Creativity. Teachers care about the students and the superintendent is the greatest. I highly recommend this inovative school. I never thought my son would say he wanted to go to college, now he is already registered. I am so proud.

this school is so great. they truely showed me how a school should really be, great and understanding teachers, fun actives, and laid back atmosphere...i was slipping thro the cracks of my reagular school and no one cared...but i am an A & B student now and i have been gettin the best scores on my TAKS then i have ever gottin if your child is normal and can thrive in a dull school then keep them there but if he/she is different in anyway sasic will be beacon of light

My child attends the Sasic Middle School. I have never in my life met a more caring teacher than the English teacher that my son had this year. The principal leadership is evident in that her teachers are allowed freedom to teach in a way that reaches the kids at this school. Parent involvement is there for the taking. They love it when parents come to help out. I would recommend this school to anyone that wanted their child to have an uplifting experience in school!

Sasic is a wonderful school. A parent [to] like this school [must] understand the concept of freedom of choice, creativity in learning, and the use of an inquiry mind.
—Submitted by a parent
If you want discipline and PTA meetings, go to a public school. If you want an environment conducive to inquiry and creativity, come to SASIC. They give the students the freedom to make choices concerning their academic careers. They guide them to make the 'right' ones. There are a lot of things that may seem unusual and unconventional to the narrow minded, but seem to work well for this unique population of students. Parents initiate contact.they are listening! Go by the school sometime and see what a warm reception you will receive. SASIC is not for everyone, but if your public school isn't working, give SASIC a shot. Different is not wrong.

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.

Texas uses Accountability Ratings to indicate the overall performance of each school and district. The ratings are based on TAKS test results, dropout rates for grades 7 and 8 and school completion rates for grades 9 through 12. Schools and districts rated under standard accountability procedures are designated as Exemplary, Recognized, Academically Acceptable or Academically Unacceptable. Schools and districts rated under alternative education accountability (AEA) procedures are designated as either AEA: Academically Acceptable or AEA: Academically Unacceptable.
