My son attended for 2 years. He did really well, progressed after working with the counselor and dean and his teacher.
The teachers are very understanding and are always willing to help.
My only concern was how emergencies were handled. Supposedly I was called but never received a call. And found out when I picked up my son from school.

Worst school ever. I attended for many years and the people in charge were terrible. A few good teachers but students were talked to horribly. Overall a very unorganized school and the food was also similar to prison food. Everyone there was on a power trip and the way i was talked to as a child was very scarring. I did not learn much and i would recommend any other school. It was a very boring learning experience and none of it was enjoyable. The quality of education was just terrible. Do not take your kids here. Did not prepare me for high school or anything at all.

The worst school ever!! The director and the ones in charge don't know how to run this place and brake all the rules to benefit them no more copy machine telling the teachers to make copys at home.i have seen a e-mail that says if you have covid you still need to work if you need to speak to me about this that would be great

This school is just terrible. I wish I could give them negative 10. They do not care about student safety. The dean and principal are the worst to deal with. I will never enroll my child here again. I pulled my child out. The school does not notify of other kids having lice or bedbugs in your child's class. Honestly do not waste you time in this nasty place.

Bexar County Academy , I agree entirely with the last post on 07/16/14. My children have been there 2 weeks and I am pulling them out. I could not believe how hard it would be to set up a meeting with the principle. My child was sick and the office told her they lost my phone number. I have a kindergartner who watches "learning videos" throughout the day. I agree this school needs to be shut down , I feel bad for the parents that just go with this flow. Your children will pay in the end.

BCA is by far one of the most unorganized education institutes that i have ever been encountered and not to mention the unprofessional and lack of knowledge from the administrators to the teachers. The teacher(s) build 'buddy' relationships with the students and therefore the respect for teaching is never gained. in particular with my child, the teacher was not reporting the actual grades which caused my child to fail since the proper tutoring and special attention needed was not being recognized as needed. Do not enroll your child at this 'school', you will regret it. If your child is already enrolled look for another school or please pay close attention to their grades and ask plenty of questions. I guarantee you that more than once the administrators will stumble in getting you answers and for sure will avoid you. This place is not fit to be called a school!!! Keep an eye out for prep for the STAAR tests as they really do not take this serious as they should. The entire administration and faculty should be replaced or better yet hopefully TEA shuts them down to save the children. This is when 'No Child Left Behind' should kick in.

The school isn't much for looks, not as nice as NSID schools. It has been a wonderful place for my son. He loves his pre-K teacher, Mrs. Hooti, she's an amazing teacher. He's learned allot, likes to come to school, learn, play with his classmates, sing and learn his letters.

My daughter has been@ BCA since Pre K3 she is now going into 2nd grade. She has learned so much @ BCA, Mr Sims is a very nice and he is very wonderful with the kids. Ms Jan, Ms Mc Kerrow, Ms Janet, Mr Nelson are also great teachers and staff. They are very kind and carring to the children. Ms Mc Kerrow has taught my daughter so much. Mr Smith is one of the after school teachers and he helps my daughter with her math and he has gotten her to understand it better. i love the school and the staff is great... Thank you BCA...

I love these kids and the staff at this school. I taught here and witnessed the commitment by the staff and teachers. Resources are scarce but the children liked it here and the size of the school allowed students, staff and teachers alike to get to know each other, and watch the children grow through each grade. I believe the children will be better off for the experience, despite not achieving Exemplary status yet.
