8/16/2018
I was consistently an honors/high honors student; some of the teachers were amazing, but others were definitely not. The school had a focus on the arts, but I was more interested in STEM. I did well and learned a lot, but it wasn't much that I'll use for college. It's great for students who are very extroverted and excited about learning, but I wouldn't recommend it for other introverts or anyone with anxiety.

It provides students with a great education. The teachers are very knowledgeable, and they are interested in the students and their abilities to grasp information. The school is fairly new, so there are still a couple glitches in terms of the school's communication. Overall, Founders has provided me with a good education that I find beneficial to my college readiness.

My experience at Founders has been great so far. I would change the events at the school. We don't have a prom, homecoming, real football games, or funding for anything really. I love the education I just wish they would allow us to have fun high school events.

We've found that the school is rigorous and has high expectations of students, but that is the reason we chose to apply. Compared to the many other schools in the area tha...

I am deeply concerned about the lack of adherence to state regulations at this school. My kindergartener received an out-of-school suspension, which is in direct violation of Texas law that protects students under the 2nd grade from such punitive measures. While I firmly believe in the importance of...

There are over 1000 kids on the waitlist and after five years of trying we finally got into Foubders for the 6th grade. The school is very much focused on liberal arts education and creating a rigorous academic environment. There is an adjustment period for new kids, but the school administration ha...
