Really gorgeous school, it looks like a college. Great learning, but it is very expensive. Little focus of the arts. Also has no diversity but is slowly getting better.

Great school academics are on par, excellent facilities to help students reach their academic potential but lacks diversity of other ethnicities with 90% of school population Caucasian

I went to HA a few years ago and left due to bullying from other students. They would talk behind my back about how themselves and other kids should not have been friends with me due to my race and religious background. The classes were good but the pressure really came down with the social environment, which has extreme effects on the mental health of kids who are of different races or LGBTQ.

Houston Academy is a fantastically rigorous school. I am an HA alum, and I know my status in college is all thanks to the preparedness I received at HA. However, diversity and different ideologies are not respected. This school has an insane issue with bullying and harassment, as the students do it...

The children are expected to act like little robots taking away any form of individualism… This school has a huge problem with mob mentality bullying
