St. Francis School - Austin (TX)

5 /5 Jade Walker: We are in our second year at this lovely school and have grown with our kids in amazing ways! The opportunity to be close to our kids through sports, clubs, and volunteering is wonderful. Our middle school boys love going to school each day and for that alone, we are so grateful to the school staff, teachers and fellow families!

5 /5 Allie Porter: As my son prepares to graduate from St. Francis School as an 8th grader, I could not recommend it more. Yes, he was accepted in to every magnet and special program high school he applied to, including LASA. But that was never our goal. What he has gained from being a part of this loving and diverse community these past five years has exceeded every hope and wish we had for him. He recently returned from the annual 8th grade trip to Italy (!), and he and his classmates are in every way the kind, responsible, loyal, curious, compassionate, creative, and inventive peers you would want for your kid. It will be hard and sad to leave this wonderful community behind, no matter how well theyve prepared him for the challenge of high school. I wish we had found it sooner.

5 /5 Jenny Walker: Our older daughter started kindergarten at St. Francis this year, and our younger kiddo will be joining pre-k next fall. We could not be happier with our experience! The sense of community at this school is unmatched, and all of the teachers and staff are fantastic. We love the small class sizes, and the focus on social emotional learning and diversity. Our family is secular, and this school is extremely warm and welcoming to us as well as families of all different faiths and backgrounds. Truly, St. Francis is the best kept secret in town, and we are so thankful to have joined the Wolfpack!

5 /5 Dena Traweek: A wonderful, inclusive community minded school.

5 /5 Angela Melina: Great school, my kids love it.
