    "I am currently a student at the Kinkaid School and I have been ever since pre-kinder garden right now I am in Eighth grade and I am looking at boarding schools the people here are somewhat mean but not really the main reason why I don't like it is because the academics make it very challenging to juggle everything, at the same time. this includes sports and academics. This is a great school to help people that are already doing well in school so better. I had Ms. Cooney who was one of the best teachers although at the time she would make everyone feel bad about losing something but that actually ended up to help me and I still use some of her strategies. A little look at how well the Academics are is I am getting C to C+ 's at Kinkaid and I got in the 64% in the SSAT ( a test to get in to boarding schools). I was also projected to get in the 99% on the SAT."

    "As a 2007 graduate, I now have a few years perspective on my education here. Without a doubt, Kinkaid has excellent resources - teachers, administrators, and facilities are all top notch. However, it is a bit frustrating to me to see that the school's assets are not used in the best way possible. The admissions policy seems overly based on legacy and perhaps on finding involved and well-connected parents. I recognize the appeal of tradition in a school of this age, with several "firsts" for Houston schools. However, tradition can get in the way of the spirit of innovation that great schools need. I don't know if Kinkaid has much motivation to do this - the same crowd of wealthy and good but not outstanding students, whose parents attended Kinkaid before them, seem firmly lodged in the institution's identity. If the administration committed to raising the proportion of students accepted purely for merit, and made greater attempts to reach out to different backgrounds of students, I think it would well and truly pay off. Until then, I would have to recommend Kinkaid with a major caveat."

    "Great school, great teachers, administrators, donors/supportors! A school to be proud of for the students of Houston. It is similar to the motto used by the University of Texas - 'what happens at Kinkaid changes the world!'"

    "The teachers and facilities are uniformly outstanding. In high school, Kinkaid requires substantial participation in arts and sports, plus has a 3 week mid year change from normal classes. The result is an exceptionally broad and balanced educational experience. Students discover hidden talents. The school atmosphere is very positive and supportive. It's no wonder it produces so many leaders."
