Review of San Antonio, Texas


Variety of education available
Star Rating - 7/27/2016
Public Education: high stakes standardized testing for children, though there's been pressure to reduce it in recent years, and rely more on class test scores. Texas doesn't use common core in the curriculum at this time.

Some will spend an exorbitant amount of money for a house in a certain school boundary. I don't agree with this decision. All public schools are teaching the test. It's just in a rich neighborhood.

Christian schools are great! There's no standardized testing and the kids get recess, the attention they need, and learn what's necessary to succeed in life, not just for a test.

Homeschooling is very popular, too, because so many parents have concerns about the quality of public schools.

Colleges and universities: Several, including a medical and dental school.
