Holy Family Catholic School is an accredited pre-K through 8th grade private school on 20 acres in North Austin. At Holy Family, students learn to work hard, strive for excellence and live their faith. The school’s challenging curriculum is aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills – or TEKS. But at Holy Family, scholarship is only the beginning.
Daily prayer, weekly Mass and religious studies create a strong faith culture and close-knit community. When it comes to extracurricular pursuits, students at Holy Family have many choices. The school’s visual arts, drama and music programs allow students to explore their creative passions. Student Council, Boy and Girl Scouts, ballet and a championship robotics team, are among the school’s many available after-school activities. Upper school students can participate in competitive athletics, including volleyball, flag football, basketball, tennis, soccer, golf and track.
In the Lectio Reading Program, a now nationwide program founded by a former Holy Family librarian, 4th through 8th graders earn awards for recreational reading. Competitive academics, opportunities for enrichment and Catholic identity make Holy Family Catholic School a distinguished choice for parochial education in North Austin.

Attending Holy Family has been such a blessing for our family. From the academics, to faith being a big part of the classroom and culture at HFCS, it has shaped our son to be the wonderful, smart and caring person he is today. Chaplain services, athletics, the wonderful PA association...there are just too many blessings to list. The parent community at the school is amazing and there are so many events for the students and the parents to experience together.

The information here is outdated. This school costs almost $10k/year now, and they are willing to pack up to 25 kids in a classroom if they can get that many to apply. There are so many problems here over the last 3 years, we are praying things improve so we don't have to change schools.

Holy Family Catholic School is true to Catholic Doctrine and for the most part a faithful community. Unfortunately, academics, specifically curriculum and instruction are lacking. There are no remediation or enrichment opportunities for students at either end of the spectrum of learning. They follow the TEKS and the new administration relies heavily on standardized tests.

The pattern noted by several others who have left reviews here is continuing.

After four years at holy family, we strongly suggest that parents look at the needs of their children before enrolling. If your child can be easily taught and does not need engaging material to be motivated than this is the school for you. There is little support and knowledge at this school to supp...

Like so many other institutions, the problems at HFCS are caused by greed and pride. Over the past 2-3 years it seems the focus has shifted from student growth in faith and academics to maximum enrollment, school growth, and soliciting donations. The fundraising is constant and relentless. We used t...

I've been contemplating how to review this school for some time now, because within my own family we've had very mixed experiences. One of my children happens to luck out and get excellent teachers every year, and they are also gifted with a natural ability to learn easily and to be self-motivated....
