"St Mark is a great school for producing well rounded and well grounded kids. Smart kids do very well here and are encouraged to participate in activities outside their area of excellence (ie sports, music, art, oral presentations in chapel). As a result they leave St Mark with some intangible skills that greatly enhance their natural intelligence. For kids of more average academic abilities, the academics will require more effort. Music, art, PE and keyboarding are part of every kid's schedule as there is no TAKS test to prep for. Overall the students score well above average on annual standardized tests (Iowa basic skills), indicating that base education is good with added bonus of all the extras. The community is small so folks who have a difficult time getting along with others will struggle."

"My daughter attended St. Mark from K till 6th grade. She is now in a public middle school in HISD. So I am in a good place to compare the education at St. Mark & local public schools. She started keyboarding in K and by 6th grade was typing 60 words a minute. She learned how to read music in 5th grade and was playing flute by 6th grade. She took Spanish in 4th & 5th grade. In 6th grade, she was diagramming complex sentences in English & studying words off of the SAT vocabulary lists. I think that the math at St. Mark lags a bit behind as that was the only class she had problems in at the HISD school. Compared to current peers, she is very much ahead of HISD peers in keyboarding, writing and reading skills."

"This is the school to send your children to if you do not like them.It i is below the bar educationally. All the good teachers have left do to an ineffective board. They value religion over education. Some of the older teachers really need to go they have not adapted to a new world. Look around there are better schools all around unless you want a subpar school"

"St. Mark is a wonderful school. The school is has a safe and comfortable environment. It offers many after school activities. The sports program is overall good, but sometimes the teams are left too large. The teachers are quilified and supportive. The cafteria has excellent lunches and there is also an extended care offered before and after school."
