This school is amazing. The principal is out every morning greeting kids by name and greeting parents. She’s out at pick up time doing the same. The support staff knows every kid by name and they’ve memorized their parents and guardians by face. This school has by far met ever expectation I could have had as this is my child’s first year. By the first day at pick up they knew my child by name. The teachers are all tight knit and know how to work together to guide these children.

An all around amazing school from the education to school support!

Willis elementary is an amazing school. The staff is very welcoming and knows what to do to help the students.

This is our second year of sending our daughter to the school and first year for our two boys. My wife and I are very grateful for the school and administration who prize, God and His Word first as the educational corner stone of this school. The course material is very challenging and certainly prepares the student for post grade school education. The staff members are mostly supportive and bring positive attitudes and environment to the classroom. My only desire is that this school will remain steadfastly rooted in the Scriptural doctrines of the Holy Bible and not compromise on anything. Education is key for the success of a child, but more so one that it is grounded in Biblical principles. #HBA #HarvestBaptistAcademy

"This school is a total disappointment. The communication from staff is abysmal, with important messages often lost or ignored. The teachers seem more interested in enforcing strict rules than nurturing students' growth and curiosity. The extracurricular activities are practically non-existent, leaving students with little to no opportunities for enrichment or social development. The facilities are rundown and in desperate need of repair. It's clear that this institution prioritizes bureaucracy over the well-being and education of its students. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for a school that actually cares about its students' futures."

Everytime we go to the school, we like it more & more. The support & encouragement from teachers & faculty is fantastic. To see my children excited about school & watching them growing from this, is amazing. We know we made the right decision on sending our kids there. I also feel that they are safe which is a huge relief as a parent.

Great school, great staff, always something to including kids in life in school or activities. Very aware about to show respect to everyone.

Teacher and admin really care about the students.

Although there are always room for improvements, the direction the school district is taking is going to showcase the benefits of the school and also the ability to attract and meet the needs of current and new students.

My children were blessed to have a couple of hard-working and dedicated teachers over the 7 years our family has been here. Unfortunately, most of those teachers we have fond memories of have resigned, and we've had very bad experiences with some of the new teachers both last year and this year. Administration is still quick to do nothing. We haven't seen consistent follow-through with the promises they made last year, and worst of all we are losing more and more friends each semester. Due to all of the reasons already stated, over the last 2 years we have watched 9 other families we were close to pull their children out of this school and put them in public school or move to a different city/state to find acceptable Catholic schools. Of course there are always new people moving to the fast-growing North Austin area to take their places, but the revolving door of teachers and families has led to the disappearance of a strong sense of belonging and community we once had. And although everyone is going through the motions of what "good" Catholic's do, the Holy Spirit has definitely left the campus. Discord, anxiety, and strife has taken His place. It has been such a profound loss.

I’m writing this review and hopefully many parents also willing to share their experiences as well. My child is currently 5th grade student, and without disclosing the gender and ethnicity. Hopefully, this will remain anonymous and fair reviews to the BSE. Learning and teaching: overall, I will give 3.5/5 to the school. The teaching and curriculum is definitely not challenging or anywhere near enough to prep the student to be ready for mid-school. Despite no-homework policy by BSD, there is not enough in-class work to keep the student engaged or understand about the subjects. Safety and emotional-support: this’s the primary reason that leads me to leave this review and comment. Overall, I will score this 1/5 or 0/5 if I’m allow to… The school is totally chaos…especially in the playground or other program outside of the homeroom teacher(it depends on the homeroom teacher you have, some of them are very incapable…). My child has shared multiple bully cases either experienced or witnessed… and the feedback from teacher or principal are not convincing and no further actions taken. In addition, they hired many unqualified assistance or teacher in the playground who is in charge of monitoring the situation. FYI, there is no consequences or whatsoever for children that demonstrates unwelcome behavior at school, unless the situation was endangering other’s life(pocket knife or gun type situations). I can’t comment on the special education due to lack of engagement or experience. Overall, I will pick Findley or Jacob Wismer over BSE.

Hola pienso que hay Excelentes maestros agradecida

this is school is atrocious from the staff to the horrid administration, they do nothing about any issue and cover it up. everything, is a joke to them.

This is a wonderful school, tucked away in an amazing neighborhood. The new administration is top notch, and they are bringing back that closeness that many schools lost during the pandemic. Caraway is exemplary in academics, and yet also has a small neighborhood school feel to it. Faculty and staff know your child, greet them with a high five or hug in the morning, and really care about the WHOLE child, not just testing scores and grades. I feel very safe leaving my small child in their care. I feel like they meet educational needs, social-emotional needs, and provide enrichment opportunities as well. This school excels in parent involvement, there are many opportunities for whole families to be included. Not only is Round Rock ISD a destination district, Caraway is a school that people seek to transfer to.

This is one of the best schools I have sent my kid to! The staff is on top of things and trying to put on a show and puts my kid first!
