We love Founders Classical Education. We have been at the Corinth campus for 6 years.

My child, who has ADHD, has excelled at this school. The staff provides assistance whenever necessary. He is always eager to attend school and particularly enjoys the Drama Club they offer. I highly recommend this institution. It does assign a significant amount of homework, requiring parents to be actively involved. If you're prepared for this commitment, then this school is an excellent choice.

I highly regret going here instead of a normal school because of the hefty amount of homework and the fact that this school has given me anxiety throughout the three years I went to it, now I am going to a public high school and I have never been happier

My spouse and I moved our oldest daughter to CCA from a nearby LISD middle school approximately four months ago and we, as well as our daughter, feel absolutely blessed to have been able to do so. The course structure at CCA is much more focused than what she was offered at her previous school and it appears entirely more conducive towards mastering course material and preparing students for future academic growth. The smaller school setting additionally offers a more relaxed (and yet seemingly more disciplined) atmosphere that is undeniably better suited for academic success than was her previous public school, which our daughter described as “crowded, noisy and chaotic”. To date, my spouse and I have nothing but compliments for CCA, and our daughter’s only occasional complaint is the amount of homework she gets though, as her parents, we are entirely disinclined to agree with her and we believe the amount she gets is an appropriate amount that facilitates her subject matter mastery while simultaneously giving her an adequate amount of time for her competitive club athletics as well as other social activities. Generally speaking, our family’s overall impression is that everyone at CCA: students, parents, teachers, and staff alike, all understand the purpose of CCA, they all want to maximize the success of CCA towards its purpose, and they all genuinely want to be a part of CCA. It is for those reasons that our family’s next goal is to get our two younger children enrolled into CCA as soon as possible so they may also secure the educational advantages that CCA offers that are otherwise no longer regularly found in the vast majority of public schools.

CCA is an amazing school! We are so grateful that we were able to get our children into this school! The staff and administration care about our kids and educating the whole student - not teaching to the test. The teach the children character traits and effective habits for learning. We started 3 years ago and it was great then - but they have made even more changes to make it stand above other schools. The brand new building is exceptional too!

The school has a strong emphasis on parental participation in academics, fundraising and social service. The teaching and curriculum quality is mixed, just like most other schools. Homework is rigorous, but not individualized. It's a good school, but parents must be very involved. It also requires keeping up with where your child should be relative to state standards, taking the initiative to be aware of different teaching styles and encouraging/supplementing on your own. If you do, your child will have an excellent school experience here.

Vista is amazing. I have a student that is high and a student that is low to average and the school has been a perfect fit for both. The environment is calm and the teachers are creative. To those parents that have issues with state testing you need to home school.

Having been in a regular public school prior to this one, I don't see much difference. They both "teach to the test", and that disappoints me greatly. Some teachers are good, some mediocre. Again same as in regular public schools.

My children have been at this school for a while and one has moved on to a middle school. It saddens me that one reviewer has a negative have a personal issue with the school because she was let go. As far as other concerns some are valid but overall it's a phenomenal school. The parents are super involved, go up there any day. It feels a little "cliquish" at times cause the PTO people have been there for so long but getting used to change is difficult for everyone. I've had a few incidents the past year and all were resolved. As for nudity, I was one of the parents that laughed when I read that. It was an accident by a wonderful teacher who sent an apology note. It was by Scholastic, a famous kids author and a naked baby. Yes, it shouldn't have been shown but dramatizing this because of personal issues is not fair to the other families that put their energy and love into this school. I was sad when my older one left. The huge "issues" are nothing to what my child now faces in public school. Academically he is above socially he has to deal with larger problems. Go view the school yourself and form your own opinion, it's a good place to have your children raised for many years.

I have children at this school and one that has moved on to middle school. It saddens me to read some negative reviews. I've had my issues but they all have been resolved with kindness and dignity over the past years and this year. The PTO is very involved. I agree at times it feels cliquish but it's just getting to know everyone. As far as the nudity, please. I was one of the parents that got the apology letter from a sweet teacher. It was like the 3rd rainy day for recess. My son saw a scholastic movie, by a famous author, and it had a naked baby. We know it won't happen again but to persecute the school and make it sound like rated R and nude people, is a bit extreme. One of the reviewers was let go, if that helps shed some light. My older son is now in public school and faces more issues. I didn't realize that until now, the difference in what they are exposed to is much worse.. As far as academic, environment , and anything else. Go visit the school yourself. Everyone I've met works very hard and has the students best interest. Its not perfect by any means but some parents think its about them and not their children. Remember the true focus, I know I sometimes forget.

My son is at Vista, and followed his older sister there (she is now at Quest). I have heard about a few problems on the schoolyard, but they were addressed instantly and with great resolve and a single child was removed from the school by the administration for his transgressions. I find the staff loving and caring, so much so that I consider many of them family. Of special note is 2nd grade teacher Ms. Lavelle, who has helped my son immeasurably and gone WAY beyond her job specs to do so. The current principal has been engaging, and met any of my concerns head on, and to my complete satisfaction. The front staff has always been helpful, efficient, and kind in my dealings with them. the curricula is top notch, and I feel my son is at least a year ahead of his local public school peers, and my daughter 2 years, at least. If you want a day care warehouse facility, Vista is not for you. If you want a top notch education for your kids, Vista is spot on. I have no problems with a pregnant teacher who isn't married as I don't feel that it is any of my business as long as she does her job.

Up until this school year I would have given this school a 5 star rating. However, with the new principal's lack of concern and experience, the showing of inappropriate movies- that are not curriculum related (showing complete nudity) and the push to limit parent involvement, I have been very disappointed. We were given so many promises when we started at this school about independent learning which turned out to be a bunch of lies. They have no curriculum or lessons to challenge any students that are not "average" if your child is advanced your child will be bored!

Vista Hickory Creek is a great school with a dedicated staff and engaged parents. What more could you ask for?

The school curriculum is top-notch; the teachers are dedicated to excellence and spend quality time with each student - the kids love their teachers; student recognition as well as challenging the student to achieve greater goals are always on the forefront; Andrea is an outstanding Principal and knows every single student by name and, most times, their individual accomplishments as well as their individual opportunities for improvement; the students know most of the parents; the parents volunteer their time and expertise often in many different ways - e.g., helping to raise money for the school, or special events (i.e., Business Days), or helping out with lunch on Fridays

You could not ask for a better approach to teaching than what Responsive Ed has created in its Elementary school, Vista Academy. The teachers and staff take the time to know each child personally. They are taught as individuals, allowed to take initiative and to be in a safe environment with adults who truly care about their potential futures. They INVEST in your children, not just teach at them. They reinforce character lessons that we teach our children at home and hold them accountable. Parent involvement is encouraged and welcomed. Staff is second to none.
