"Very good school. We sent our girl to this school last year and she loves to be there everyday. Daily Masses is a big plus. School teaches lot about moral life and religion which is a must for any catholic/christian kids."

"hey! listen up!! all i've heard about this school is that it worries all about money and scares children into doing well. its the total opposite!! yes, we go to mass everyday, but after a few weeks, youre used to it. i went to a school where i was non-stop bullied and stereotyped and pressured for grades. here, at atonement, my classmates love and respect me and im allowed to work at my own pace. sometimes the homework is a bit heavy or i struggle a little more on one subject than others. but doesn't that happen at all schools? and people say its all stuffy and loser-ish because they don't have a strong sports program. but the school's still fairly new. no more cliques, no more bullies. at this school everyone REALLY does love everyone. i came to atonement and i'm never going back. -A STUDENT"

"After months of researching/ visiting local private schools, my husband and I decided on the Atonement Academy for our Pre-Kindergartener. Both of us feel we could not have made a better choice. Our son loves going to school everyday, has made great friends and feels comfortable. His teacher is outstanding, she keeps in contact with us, let's us know daily his behaviors and what the class is doing. She is accessible and responds promptly. All of the staff is friendly, professional and genuinely care about the students. I am shocked to read some reviews about "being financially motivated" or being "shaken down", this is certainly not the case as we have NEVER felt that way. I would honestly recommend this school to anyone and am sending our younger son to the Academy next year."

"I've read a few reviews that are inaccurate and show hints of the poster knowing little about the Atonement Academy. For instance, one poster complained of the school being primarily financial motivated and pressuring parents for money using fund raisers as tool to beat them over the head with. There are only two fund raisers per year and I have never felt pressured to make any donations to either. While I pay full tuition, I have a friend who was laid off and combined with other factors was not able to afford the tuition. The Atonement staff made arrangements for their child to stay at the academy, effectively charging no tuition. I am one of the, if not the youngest fathers at Atonement, I am lower middle class and I have always been treated with respect and felt welcome. While I mainly wanted to rebuke the comments that less than accurately reflect the school, I also want to note that I thoroughly investigated schools as far as Houston and that my research has paid more dividends then expected by choosing Atonement in several aspects."

"We wasted tens of thousands of dollars in this school, when the surrounding schools (public and private) are so much better. When I first saw Atonement I was impressed with the European fa ade and beautiful uniforms, but I found out later that the core values are rotten. What matters here is money, not the person. Children are treated harshly and given massive amounts of homework which robs them of a normal childhood. The social relations among the students are unpleasant. There are clicks, unfriendliness, gossip and bullying. I learned that I don t have to waste so much money or overwhelm my kids with homework to educate them, I just need to get involved; they will do fine if I spend quality time with them regardless of the school."
