My daughter has attended Aristoi for two school years, the experience has been great. If your child can be academically challenged and is a higher achiever they will do very well in this classical setting. I would best describe Aristoi as an entire school at a Pre-AP level. Teachers are caring and the staff is amazing. The communication between school, teacher, student and parent is very good. This school currently operates in two separate facilities, A lower campus and upper campus, K-4th is lower campus 5th & 6 together, 7th & 8th together & 9th-12th. Aristoi is very challenging, there is a lot of work and as a parent you will need to be involved. Aristoi also does not teach to the state Starr test but rather focusing on history events, math and science. They do require a uniform and it changes as they progress through the grade level. Aristoi is a free charter school in the Katy area, however it is a private school experience. Unless your child is in daycare you will be responsible for getting them to and from school as there are no buses. Overall we absolutely love Aristoi!!!!!! Close Quote

I was a student of West Houston Charter School in the late 90's. While I do have some amazing memories from my time there, absolutely none of it had anything to do with the school itself. I was a straight A student before attending, and actually left the school only JUST passing for the year. My fond memories had a lot to do with skipping classes and not getting caught and the cigarettes and drinking my friends and I would indulge in during off periods in front of teachers with no consequence. As a student, West Houston Charter was a lot of fun. As now a parent of two, I would absolutely never send my children to that school and I honestly do blame a lot of the struggles that I had academically later in life to West Houston Charter.
