St. Cecilia Catholic School Reviews

This is our third year at SCS and lots of changes (for the better!) have occurred since we began. I personally am very happy with the spiritual, emotional and educational growth of our child that we have seen- I have found the teachers to be very receptive and open minded to my concerns, but have always had the same respect for them. BRAVO for giving our children such a remarkable elementary education!

It's a choice to go to SCS. We made the choice to go here b/c we respect the decisions on the parish and school. It is a fine school. Our children are not only getting a quality education, but the catholic teachings are the most important. SCS has a wonderful new principal who is impressing us all. If someone is not happy at any school, get involved and make changes, or move along and stop complaining. No school the bad karma of complaining parents. It doesn't help you, your child, or the school. There is a huge waiting list at SCS, so I know they are doing something right. The families there are lovely!

Our children just began St. Cecilia (correct spelling) this year, and we have been very pleased. It is located in a public school district with academically strong schools, but if you are looking for a Catholic education, a dynamic group of parents, and a school with lots of positive energy, this is a wonderful place. It is truly an integrated and supportive church/school community. Not everything as SCS is perfect, but it sure is doing a lot right. As far as the academics, the kids go on to Strake Jesuit, St. Agnes, Duchesne, and St. Thomas, some of the top schools in town. We had lots of choices in our school selection, but SCS is the perfect place if you are on the Catholic high school track and want your kids to have a great experience on the way.

St. Cecelia's has its problems just like any other school. If parents would remember that there is such thing as a perfect school, they would be much happier. My two children feel very loved and happy at SCS. Even if the work is challenging, as one of my children has special needs, they can't wait to get out of the car each morning! Now, with a new school wing and principal, there are no limits on SCS!

Expect lots of homework and a stressed children. Administration/teachers are there for a paycheck/retirement and do not show the enthusiasm and drive of truly loving and enjoying their jobs.

If children don't fit in their box, they want them out. They are not equipped to handle bright children with learning differences.

St Cecilia has to be one of the top schools in Houston. Education curriculum is first rate and most parents are very dedicated and support the school's mission with a lot of passion. Upper grade level kids are very mature and polite.

I am very impressed with the quality of the academic program at St. Cecilia. It is very challenging to the kids and the teachers are great at addressing the kids'needs and curiosities.
