    "The early childhood program at St. Mark was fantastic! My son had Ms. Vivi for PK2 and Ms North for PK3. They were both extremely kind, nurturing, patient and skilled teachers. The curriculum is holistic and nurtures cognitive, social, physical and spiritual development. The teacher to child ratio was low and each child received lots of love and attention. We looked at many schools in Houston before deciding on this one - and we were not disappointed. The only reason we are not still there is that we moved out of the country. Would highly recommend St. Mark for the little ones."

    "I have been a parent of more than one child currently enrolled. I have been please with my oldest child's education. However, with my second child's education, I have been quite disappointed. The new principal is really just an administrator and does not really appear to care about what is really going on at this school. He does not listen to concerns of the parents. The Spanish 'teacher' this year was a substitute and spoke less Spanish than most of the kids enrolled in this school. I have been looking to transferring my two children elsewhere for the next school year."

    "Point of clarification regarding the post dated April 20, 2012: the special needs program is completely supported by the parents of the students with special needs. St Mark does not lose any finances or resources due to this unique partnership. Having the special needs program is a blessing to both the St Mark students and the students with special needs. Regarding the other areas of concern: I have found that my child has done very well academically at St Mark. My child has nothing but compliments for the Spanish teacher, the new principal, and the computer lab. Finally, I am pleased with the attention to detail and academic excellence at St Mark."

    "My 2.5 yo daughter is thriving. I can only speak to the early childhood education program. Frankly, I simply went there out of convenience. I moved into the neighborhood intending to take advantage of the well-regarded public school system, but now that I am at St. Mark, I am fully intending to keep her there through the 8th grade. She is thriving. She looks forward to school every day. All of her teachers have been loving and firm. The environment is enriching and structured. I work with her at home, but I am astonished by how much she has absorbed at school. The church congregation and leadership is highly-invested and committed to furthering the school's success. Now, I do not (yet) have any direct experience with the older grades, but here are my observations from watching closely. The new principal is excellent. Highly intelligent, innovative, disciplined, and experienced. The older children have impressed me by how mature and well-rounded they are. The athletics and music programs seem especially deep. More than anything, though, is that intangible "feel" that rather than money and prestige, the school's driving focus is each child's success and development."

    "This was not the school for us. As with some other private, nonselective schools I believe, there are students who come here because of ongoing academic and/or social problems elsewhere; by upper grades, a significant number have been through several other campuses. My young child s teacher was excellent but again, as with some other small schools was overburdened by the school attempting to take on way more than it could handle; just because it goes through eighth doesn t mean early childhood teachers should be expected to lead/coach middle grade extra-curriculars. I understand that without a full offering of arts, athletics, etc., some parents will complain but you are either foregoing some of those resources with a small school, or asking teachers to wear too many hats and burn out. There was an overemphasis on sports from kindergarten up. Chapel time was used in place of a general assembly to recognize sports achievements. Frustrating moderate parents were a handful of squeaky-wheel parents who could be found on campus any day of the week and who fully expected to have their every demand met, reasonable or otherwise, and who were never disappointed."
