“Our son, who is academically strong, needed support with peer interaction, social skills, and expressive language. The school offered the resources, instruction, and small-group setting required for him to grow and thrive. He never felt out of place and enjoyed attending the school throughout his high school years. We remain grateful to Seven Lakes HS for providing an engaging and supportive environment.”

“The school is well-resourced and offers a strong special needs program for kids of all abilities. We found the SPED teacher highly experienced and flexible in meeting our needs. The paraprofessionals are skilled and truly care about the kids' development. Through the ARD process, we were able to adjust both the program content and the methods of instruction. In summary, Seven Lakes JH is a great school for children with special needs.”

“Bonnie has a good special education program. The SPED teachers and paraprofessionals work hard to support kids with disabilities, and they provide daily written feedback to parents, which is genuinely helpful. Children with more significant needs are educated in dedicated SPED classrooms, and there's separate access for SPED drop-off and pick-up, which makes the daily routine easy.”

“Both of my kids went to Cornerstone. My younger son has a mild intellectual disability, and the school struggled to support him. Unfortunately, the resource room was inadequately staffed, and on one occasion, a mainstream classroom teacher actually made fun of my child. The after-school care program also kicked him out, citing 'misbehavior.' Overall, we had a bad experience and ultimately decided to relocate to Katy ISD, where things have been much better.”

Profiles cover academic performance and growth, inclusion and instructional setting, special education staffing, discipline patterns, and graduation and dropout outcomes — combined into an overall SPED Support Score.

Yes. The comparison tool lets subscribers evaluate up to five schools side-by-side across every metric we publish.

No. The most recent year of data for every public school is free. An annual subscription unlocks all historical years, trends, and the side-by-side comparison tool.
How often is school performance data updated?
