“My son is extremely happy to be at Harmony Science Academy North Austin. He said the teachers here are nice and want you to do good which he did not feel at the Manor ISD. I am glad to have a private school atmosphere tuition free. A fellow friend had the same reading assignment during the summer. My son took the test and his friend did not (in Manor Middle school). The reason Manor didn't is because too many kids didn't read it. I am glad that HSANA did give the test to show to the students that they will be held accountable. Already I see the difference of which school cares if they read their book or not. HSANA does not tolerate distractions in class which makes a better learning environment. However, if the student is having a problem, they take the time to find out why.”

“this has been a terrible school and getting worse every year. my kids complain about the teachers poor attitude, the cafeteria food that is catered who knows where, the smart aleck remarks by the staff. no wonder so many parents have pulled their kids out this year. the office secretaries complain about the attitudes and being over worked and under staffed also.”

“Our daughter just started her 4th year at HSA and we couldn't be happier. It was a blessing to find a school populated by true Educators who want to help their students excel. This is a departure from the union 'teachers' found in the local public school districts whose only interest is in indoctrinating the students in a Socialist philosophy. It's true that HSA doesn't have the athletic or liberal arts offerings of the 5A schools in the area, but there are plenty of independent opportunities availble to the students to make up for it. We have only 2 complaints about HSA: 1) it is sometimes difficult to understand some of the faculty and staff. They may want to look into personal development courses to improve their English skills; and 2) the faculty and staff has a bad habit of holding events with virtually no notification.”

“I gennerally like the school. Yeah its small, but thats a benefit that students have to take advantage of. I could only think of one negative aspect-that there are hardly any extra-curriculars for high schoolers, but this school gives so many opportunities, it almost overrules the negatives”

“One of the most positive aspects of this school is the multicultural atmosphere. It creates an open-minded learning environment. Also, the staff is young and serioulsy works round the clock because we aren't just teaching one subject - we are teaching several subjects, tutorials, clubs, UIL, and planning all types of events. This type of envolovement really helps teachers get to know each and every student, not just the ones sitting in your room for 45 mins a day. I have learned a lot from our students. As far as the discipline is concerned, it is strict, but we don't have fights or any severe incidents at Harmony due to our strict rules.”

“the school is unnecessarily strict and unorganized the teachers are hard to understand it is very stressful mostly because the teachers regularly lose the homework and say the student did not turn it in. there are very little sports and no freedom at all. the high schoolers need to wear uniform. even the seniors for no real reason. most teachers don't teach there way they use pre set power point presentations. so its not the same experience as when a teacher is talking.”

“I'd say about 75% of this school's focus is on discipline; 10% on the 'respect your elders' philosophy and the other 15% on education. I'd know because I was a student there. That's all I have to say about that.”
