SMA is a very welcoming community. Even if you are a new student you know you belong here. SMA is a family and even though all families have their drama, SMA is still somewhere I am happy to be.

This is a good private school. It is like we are a big family and everyone is caring to one another.

Very friendly administrative staff & the teachers work incredibly hard.School is well managed (like a private business).The students are the same as those found in non-private schools. Unfortunately the school lacks funding & that can weigh on the parents for donations.It was not as international/global as we had hoped. Boarding schools often attract children from other Texas towns with behavior issues.Our child did benefit tremendously from the structured class environment.After a few years our child no longer wanted to continue at this school due to bullying and lack of diversity of friends(small grade size).Our child chose to attend a non-private school in the community and is happier.The San Marcos Academy campus is on a wonderful piece of property and that was a pleasure to drive thru each day.

I'd rather take a $22k dollar hit than have my kids t...
