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

Paul Nelson Beautiful campus, however those of you that do not live here, but come here for school have accomplished nothing, yet. Therefore, accept your federal aid & keep your ideologies & protest within reason. This is not your home, you are a guest. AUSTIN (KXAN) — Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday issued a stark warning to the San Marcos city council regarding its consideration of a resolution calling for the transfer of “permanent sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territories” and an “Embargo on the State of Israel.” In a letter to San Marcos, Abbott said that the city is required to comply with state law when entering into a grant agreement with the state of Texas, which includes laws that prohibit a local government from supporting the boycotts of Israel.

Caroline K We went on a tour with a school group, and it was fantastic! The campus was very nice and very clean! And the tour guides were very very nice and answered any and all questions asked about the campus. And the food at Harris hall was really good and very well put together! There was enough food to feed our entire group + all of the college students there which was very nice and desserts were provided as well!

Cris I have applied for jobs multiple times here and not once have I been an acceptable candidate for hire. Jobs that I know I am capable of, jobs that I know I am extremely overqualified for as well. Not to mention, all the documents they require and frankly stupid, repetitive questions they ask. I have sent emails requesting job application updates just to receive email responses with improper choice of words, poor grammar, punctuation, run on sentences. They also didnt entirely know the hiring process. I was in shock reading these emails and being told that I was not a candidate. (Rhetorically, thinking to myself how did you manage to get a job with poor grammar and choice of words?) Some of these people in HR under Talent Acquisition Recruiter need proper email etiquette. Youre not sending a text to your BFF! Laughable. Some recruiters dont even have HR related degrees. Being a university it also amazes me that some positions available have multiple job titles squeezed into one title at a sad pay rate and work hours. Separate the job titles and pay accurately. All while their simple administrative positions are getting the same pay, if not close. Many companies are smashing titles simply because they intertwine/overlap with each other and overloading employees with multiple responsibilities just because they dont want to pay. Examples; an Engineer/Electrician, Marketing/Graphic Design, Teacher/Counselor, are not the same, so no you would not create a job title to have one employee do both job responsibilities. I didnt think a university would do that. Sadly, I am a TXST grad and apparently my degree is mediocre to them. Although, I do have other complaints as far as the university goes, because they do need to get off their high horse, but this review is for their job recruitment. They need to revisit their hiring process.

Edward Lavalley 100% the best way to pass the test!!! Easy to navigate the software. The seminar was an amazing amount of knowledge with that and everybody involved with the program was professional, knowledgeable and most of all helpful. Well worth the cost by far, I couldn’t be more impressed. Edward L.

Fernando Albarado The community is welcoming, and the teachers are transparent and maintain great communication. Program helped me enhance my navigation through the NEC Code book. I definitely recommend you to invest your money into this if you have doubts on anything. Cant wait for my Masters, as I’ll gladly be coming back to the Contractors School.

Hansel CruzLopez Do not use this course. I failed my test for ONE question in my theory because they cancelled my program TWO days before my test. I am 100% sure that I would’ve passed if they would’ve just let me go over it one last time, instead they just pulled the plug and I was unable to access the program I spent hundreds of dollars for. Don’t waste your time, the staff is rude too. They cancelled my program twice and I had to pay twice because they have a problem with having a full time job, a life, and not being able to knock a very important test in Simply One month. If you have a full life and family, skip this, give your money to someone more carrying, and understanding of your situation.

Laura Michele Horrible testing environment for CNA clinical exam. Do not go here. Overall 91% pass this test but I would be willing to be way less that 50% pass here and even less if you are a person of color. I know this school will respond that it is prometric that proctors this exam but as a school you should demand they use a better person as a proctor. Shameful on you as a school to allow such an awful person to use your premises!!

Marg Pootlan Horrible testing environment. Disruptive classes and aggressive employees. I don’t know her full name but JUDY (who tests YOUNG adults) was overly rude/ aggressive/ hostile to almost every tester that showed up today. She openly argued/ was rude to a person who cannot speak English well. She did this IN FRONT of the testers which were also grouped in with people who forgot verification. I’m not explaining any details besides it was JUDY who’s the problem. She goes no to test which results in 2 testers crying because of how uncomfortable JUDY made them feel while testing. Even on the tiniest of mistakes (non-crucial) she was rolling her eyes and sighing and even LAUGHING. These testers were already uncomfortable because of how JUDY was acting and then they are supposed to go into a room with this “grown adult” who is laughing and making fun of them and pass? As I’ve checked in the local community around Seguin her name seems to come up more and more as a BULLY and someone who doesn’t really want anyone to enter the business. It’s disgusting how JUDY made fun of theses young adults who were taking a STATE TEST and made them cry.

Frank Rodriguez I took the phlebotomy course with Career Academy and I can honestly say that it was the best learning experience Ive had with vocational school. My instructor Spencer was the best at putting our class at ease and we all improved drastically in performing delicate procedures. He brought real world experience and technical expertise to our class. Lastly, it was great news to hear that we all passed our national exam!

Robert Gilbreath Took fine arts appreciation in the music school and it was one of my favorite classes!

Roberto Hinojosa Texas States school of music is amazing.

Jordan Sheppard Terrible parking but thats San marcos

Jenna Bernardini My daughter has gone to the PPCP for 2 years and it has been such a wonderful experience. The teachers are truly amazing - they are warm, encouraging, and experienced. There are so many opportunities for free play with natural learning along the way. The school feels like family, and everyone is so welcoming. We have loved being a PPCP family!

Aubree Christian If youre looking for an excellent part-time preschool for your 3, 4 and 5 year olds, look no further. PPCP has been wonderful for our family who is experiencing the kids being away from us for the first time. The teacher and director are so kind and involved with the children. They are experienced and continue to educate themselves in the best practices for early childhood development. The structure of the day fits this young age so well, with plenty of free choice indoor/outdoor play, books, songs, art and snack time. Both of my kids have grown and learned so much over the last two years and weve enjoyed the instant community that the cooperative has given us in San Marcos. Highly Recommend!

Kate Waldhauser PPCP has given out daughter a true gift. It’s amazing to see how she has flourished at this caring and conscientious school. The teachers put their hearts into what they do and it shows. Our daughter loves going to school there and we feel 100% confident she is being well cared for.

Courtney Riggs After moving to a new town, I was nervous about transitioning my son to a new school, but those nerves quickly disappeared. From the very beginning, the staff has shown nothing but love, support, and unwavering dedication to every child that walks through their doors. They go above and beyond with creative events and celebrations that make school exciting and fun. There’s always something special going on, and it’s clear the team pours their heart into everything they do. I was told by a PhD-level professional that you won’t find teachers as qualified, and passionate as Ms. Ochoa even in most private schools. I couldn’t agree more. There hasn’t been a single thing I’ve been disappointed with. My sons teachers Ms. Ochoa, Ms. Angie and Ms. Nancy are nothing short of expeceptional. I’m incredibly grateful and beyond happy with our experience. The only downside? Knowing the day will come when my son has to move on to a new school. Bonham Preschool has set the bar so high.

Moona R This school used to be a gem. I withdrawed my child from bonham. Too much drama i even hear teachers gossiping when i drop off my child. I also had issues with the front staffing women Destiny Mccargo she has the worst attitude . I sent emails to Eulogia Martinez and even scheduled a meeting with her about how unwelcoming it was to even set foot on a campus she represents, after I expressed to her my concerns about bonham she called me on a private number to let me know she disagreed with how I had been treated. She then refused another meeting with me because she didnt want to deal with the truth of it all. I refused to entertain anymore of their infant behaviors and took my child with me. I am friends with a couple of teachers that used to work at bonham and both their reasons of quiting was the reason I am fleeing bonham. I am happy now.

Martinez Luis Carlos I’m unsure how to feel about Bonham. I registered my son yesterday and I felt rushed out with little information if I didn’t ask. Yet I still didn’t feel like I had enough information. Morning Staff was nice with very little enthusiasm. As for the afternoon staff, my guess is the staff assumed I was a non-custodial parent or not have known my son was less than a day new. That’s still no excuse to belittle someone. When I returned after school that day for my son that afternoon I was told it was not confusing to locate the pick up line and I was questioned if I forgot my car tags as if she was annoyed or as if I was an inconvenience to her to check him out. Little did she know I took in consideration to wait until the line ended so I don’t accidentally cut the line and picked up my kids at another school first. Staff looked at me as if I was an idiot or irresponsible. I could be wrong. That’s how I felt. More communication and information would help. Definitely need more positive feedback. It’s my son’s second day and I already feel uncomfortable. DeZavala surpassed the welcoming feeling with a GREAT positive attitude being super informative.

Danielle Taylor Wonderland is amazing! My son has been attending for 3 years now, It is a great learning environment. The staff are wonderful

Jhenisse Moreno I only have positive things to say about this school. I am not a fan of teaching to the test, STAAR etc. My son has fun, is learning daily, and has great teachers who love their jobs because they can be creative and have autonomy in their classrooms. My son gets plenty of outside time, social opportunities, and the teachers understand how play and just as important as schoolwork. Thank you for creating a fun school experience for my child!

Charmaine Wilde This is a wonderful, safe, caring school that has been attended by all of my children (and I have a LOT of kids). I wouldnt trust anyone else with my kids when they were younger. Everyone is so kind and you feel like theyre on the team with you trying to raise good humans. I recommend them for all families I know! Thank you for the decade of childcare.

Keith .Seymour This place was like a jail when I was there for two years in the 1980s

Mareesa Saiz Worst facility ever! Was touched by staff members and also got my shoulder dislocated by a staff member as well. They should shut this place down! If you love your children DO NOT SEND THEM HERE!

Christina Matsche Worst place ever I remember two people coming to get me from Arizona to San Marcos Texas and being treated awful.. I was abused locked in a room at tomes for days etc.. I will forever have ptsd because of this place.. I never forget a staff member names Gloria she was a short lady really long hair she was the worst of the worst .. I did from 15 to 17 years old there.

Isaac Williams Terry and all the counselors are amazing! My little brother went to this camp and I lent a hand from time to time. The kids are the main priority and over the course of the camp the kids will gain many experiences. Arts and crafts, horse back riding and swimming might seem like normal summer camp activitys but at Master School they mean so much more.

Court Meck We love this school and could write a book about all of the amazing things they offer our children. Our children have matured, grown, and reached an all time high academic level. Teachers and staff are loving and nurturing while still requiring children to be accountable and respectful. I recommend this school to anyone in the San Marcos or surrounding areas. We live in a near by town and drive to this campus because we love it so much. Schedule a campus visit and see for yourself!

James Stroud Its not a real road despite what Google says. Whatever this place is has shut it down and closed access to these parks and trails.

Angel Moreno boring

Landon Great, school. 10/10

Glenesther Rainey Staying Safe school Response training was very beneficial. I’ve enjoyed this course.
