Our daughter went for ECSE through 2nd grade in ALE. The teachers, aids, and staff are all wonderful. She was always included and cared for.

My son just completed his 6th year at Kuentz and we loved every single teacher he had. I am so excited to have my daughter beginning her second year there. The staff, teachers, and parents are all so incredibly involved. We live Kuentz!

Kuentz is a wonderful school. The principal and teachers are amazing and very supportive. My children are thriving!! I would have to agree on the clique comment from 6 years ago. It is VERY cliquish. Mom's and their Louis Vuitton purses and stilettos, not much has changed in that department. I'm assuming you'll find that pretty much anywhere and it's not a reflection on the school.

My children attended this school for four years. The principal is absolutely wonderful and so are the large majority of the teachers. There is a 4th grade teacher named Mr. Skinner and a 5th grade teacher named Mrs. Connor who are both absolutely AMAZING teachers. My children were incredibly fortunate to have these teachers. I can recommend this school without any hesitation.

We have been so happy with Kuentz. We moved back to Texas after a year in Louisiana. Our child had been to 2 elementary schools already so when we were moving to the area we based our decision to live in Helotes on the schools in the area. After reviewing the schools, we sought out a house that fed to this school. We are so glad we did. Mrs. Snyder worked with and encouraged our 2nd grader and we loved her. It was a great change from the previous year. She really cares about each of her students and never seemed to play favorites. Nurse Fox is also amazing. Our daughter has diabetes and has daily contact with her, and it puts us at ease to know she's in great hands. Mrs. Gallegos the principal is very involved and approachable. We have another child starting school this fall in kinder and we're looking forward to several more great years!
