Top Rated 15 Schools in Harlingen, TX - A Guide for Parents and Students

Edith Del Angel I have had a great experience as a both a student and client. Thank you to all the instructors and both directors, Mrs. Zuniga and Mrs. Villegas, that helped me grow my passion for an industry I had never imagined I would love so much. For also showing us what we need to succeed. A great lesson I learned is how much EFFORT and DISCIPLINE WE as the students put into our learning and practice when we attend to class, will reap the best results.

Denay Domanski This school is disgusting the way they just want money from people and put in no effort to understand they are teaching students . people come here to learn and have a passion to do hair , nails , esthetics , whatever they came for and you constantly shove things under the rug . They only care about the money they get from and nothing else . I went here as an esthetician and no one from my class is confident enough to be one. We never had a teacher for almost our entire program and instead of making arrangements to either extend our program they literally left us to the wolves. When my class started figuring out that what we were learning was way behind what the curriculum and tuition paperwork had in it we went to speak with Zuniga and Frida. They completely shut us down and were almost accusatory that we would even say anything that was against them. I would love to be able to learn again and from a proper school this time . But i am $5000 in debt that it is not even possible right now. Please NEVER enroll at this school . We all need to come together and shut this place down . Texas Dept of Education needs to be involved

Tex1997 VERY interesting to hear that the instructor here is a Jehovahs Witness. I really dislike how the instructor treats people. In our faith we are supposed to be kind to everyone so i ask that yall please dont judge all of us based on how Mrs. Zuniga acts. To you Mrs.Zuniga, ill be sure to find out who your elders are. Im very sure they wont appreciate how you act and your attitude to other people. Everyone you meet is a potential witness and you sister are not keeping that in mind.

Emmie Conde This school is a great school The food might be bad but at least we get food.The counselors are amazing and care about the kids here and teachers are hard working some kids just don’t try.The air conditioning might be bad but some teachers do have fans.

Ivpxz1 teachers are amazing they are helpful, and very supportive. The food is mid but at-least we get fed. school restrooms very cleaned and very good security guards they are nice and cool. 10/10 recommend Cano Freshman Academy!!!

Tina Gonzales My daughter has been here since prek and is now in 5th grade. Love this school

Ruby deluna Awesome school son is graduating 8th and has been withhorizon since 4 yrs old never had a problem.

Carla Xm Love this school, my kids feel extremely comfortable here Teachers and staff are nice and always professional. My kids actually get sad when school is over . I recommend this school a lot, specially if you have a little one going to pre-K 3 and or pre-K 4 . The Montessori way is an excelente way for little ones to learn I love the fact that they wear a uniform because that saves money on kids clothes for throughout the year

Briana Munguia My children go here. They love it! They always have good news to share with me when i pick them up. The teachers are awesome!! Recommend for sure.

Luis Escobedo The place I would trust my kids to be is Magic Kingdom #2 at Morgan I love how the director Sandra call you when something happens like small accidents or concern, very good communication on that location. Also love how they used the kangaroo app so you can monitor your kids on activities they do through the day. Also very good on letting you know in advance if your kid about to run out of diaper, change of clothes and how they did through the day. Disappointed how #1 doesn’t use kangaroo app or updates you on your kids but I feel more safer having them at #2!

Dare Wolf The best decision I made was sending my son to Magic Kingdom. A very loving and nurturing environment. Management and staff treated us like family. They are very professional and understanding. I recommend this place.

Crystal Rose Lara We were able to tour the school after a meeting for new students. The principal Mrs. Garza was very informative and very friendly. I’m hoping this school will be a good fit for my daughter and hoping for a smooth transition.

Arnulfo Villarreal Its a very good school i recommend it if your ready for challenging classs

abigail lopez If you absolutely love a challenge this school is it you learn not just about school but as well how to become a family and that’s what we are a Phoenix Family #Bestschoolever

jacqueline boston Great academy. I learned many life lessons. Remember both Mosier teachers.. Have great memories of Mr. And Mrs. Harvey picking me up on the weekends.. Those afternoons with the Harveys were special.

Socorro Sotomayor A place of blessings

Jorge Garcia Thanks to the Baptist Church that was giving us its support in very difficult times for our family, especially Mr. Daniel Aguilar and wife and Miss Mary Reyes....they are Angels on Earth....

Charles Chapman I have two children at CCS. It is an excellent school. Everyone there is a caring individual who works to the maximum at nurturing and teaching the children. I have been in education since I taught the Fourth Grade at Edgewood Elementary in 1967-1968 in San Antonio and CCS is the best school for children that I have ever personally experienced.

Faith Skeen The social interactions Ive had with representatives of this school were awful. While discussing that, I learned that parents from other schools who attended sporting events with Cavalry were also disgusted by Cavalry behavior. I wouldnt want my kids exposed to this type of Christian, much less taught by them. I cannot speak to the schools academic performance, but in my experience, more intelligent people are not as nasty.

Glen We have never had a problem with this school before the new principle took control. My daughter is dyslexic and we put her through tutors, and summer training to get her caught up to where she should be. The new principle knew this but still tried to put my daughter even further behind where she should be so we had a meeting. During the meeting she just kept degrading my daughter and then she proceeded to throw a book across the table and told my daughter "Well fine then read this". This is a child how can someone expect a child to perform under those conditions. At that point I had to remove myself due to the disrespect my daughter, my wife, and myself were facing. The principle then comes into the hallway and says how she supports us being in the military blah blah blah. This was proven to be a lie because a few months later we get an email that she unenrolled my daughter 4 days PRIOR saying that my daughter wasnt adequate for the school despite her teachers vouching that she should proceed to the next grade. This principle preaches that she is a "godly" woman but she is nothing of the sort. She degrades, humiliates, and then tries to justify her actions so she looks good to her board. She claims that we are not looking out for the best interest of our daughter when we keep our family together despite being dual military. This woman does not support the military, child development, or the beliefs she claims to have. Be aware putting your child in this school with this person in charge influencing your children.

M HendeBrion Our twinkies have been at BBLA since they were 8 weeks old. As first time moms it was hard to leave them, but knowing the great staff was looking after them and providing us with updates throughout the day helped. Now at almost 2, our kids love going to school. They run through the doors every morning with smiles on their faces and that is a testament to how much they love the staff. We couldnt have picked a better place. Forever grateful to Mrs. Katie and her staff for giving our kids the best.

Alison Hyde Bright beginnings was the first center/daycare our children ever attended, as well as with us- we didn’t know what to expect at all. Our children came to you just starting their journey, and have grown so much in your care. We will forever be thankful for you and your staff, and the magic they have instilled in our children’s lives. The support that you and your staff have provided for our little family has been remarkable. We have had the pleasure of watching them grow, and learn so much in your care. They are off to start their next journey in life- but we will forever be thankful for the love, care, and patience you have shown our children. Your center was recommended to us, and we are so glad that it was. Thank you to you and your staff for taking exceptional care of our children. Keep doing great things and illuminating the spark in children’s lives!

Morgan Menendez Bright Beginnings is one of the best daycares in Harlingen. I have had my two toddlers here since 2021 and I only have good things to say. Their facility is very clean and organized and the staff is wonderful. They participate in the app called, Bright wheel, which allows you to get real time updates and photos of your child throughout each day. They share their learning curriculum and their meal schedule. This was a huge reason why I chose them because it relieved my anxiety to check the app for updates. My kids really enjoy it here and I am extremely happy with my experience. I am writing this to hopefully help another parent out there make such an important decision on who to trust with their child. *Added Benefit* Cute holiday photos during daycare hours! Call them to schedule a walk through or to get on the wait list! I promise you will get the service you deserve. One happy mom, Morgan

Voltyjr As a current swimmer there very big and nice aquatics center and the coaches are amazing.
