St. John's is one of the best schools in the country. It's test scores, application stats, college placement, and well-known alumni all speak for themselves. But beyond the School's numbers and reputation, there is an amazing environment that nurtures kids but also propels them to perform their best. The School often talks about "every child being known and loved." As an alumnus and now as a parent of two students, I really do believe that the School lives that principle on a daily basis. It is certainly not for everyone, of course. No place is. But if a child is academically talented and driven, and if the child can thrive in an environment where every other kid is also academically talented and driven, there is no better place in Houston.

I am a student that is currently attending St. John's. Before that, went to West U high was an atrocious school. One of the greatest things about St. John's is that there is more individual attention to the students as compared to West U, which didn't focus on you at all. St. John's has a great education system that focuses less on grades and more on personal improvement. One complaint I do have against it is the fact that St. John's lower school where you attend and are guaranteed a spot in the upper school is full of not bright, rich kids which are only let in the lower school because their parents have good business connections. Overall I like St. John's a lot and I can confidently say that choosing to go to St. John's was one of the best decisions of my life!

St Johns helps students to become better academically, physically, and socially through well trained professionals like Mr. Ventura. This man has helped me through a rough year of math and given me life skills and advice that will help me in the future.

St John's is an amazing school. The Arts and Athletics programs are amazing. The teachers love to learn the way that the kids learn and to throw in a joke or two. All in all, St Johns is the best in Houston.
