In a time when all we hear about is what is wrong with education, we have a treasure right in our backyard that exemplifies what is right about education. My children are in their fifth year at the Saratoga Independent School, and I can't say enough about the quality of the education, the atmosphere, and the magic they work with the kids. Not only are my children doing very well academically, but the school enables them to thrive socially, problem-solve, and be proactive contributors to our community. Most of all, they are learning how to THINK. Parents interested in exploring all the school options in the area should check them out.
