Rigor: IE. grade level might be pre-algebra, said school "rigorous" school will be working on Algebra. No more homework than the grade level school,no more stress than the grade level school, just moving at a higher level that it's students are ready for. Science classes and History classes are the major differences in many of the schools.

There are many private schools in Houston. It's always best to find the one your kid fits in. Obviously a kid with an average IQ isn't going to do well working at a faster pace school.

Got it!

They refused to have in house tutoring for my dyslexic student so Im not sure what time frame this is or if it was prior to new admin.

It was within the past few years. It was "program." Maybe they take kids on a case by case basis, and I know it costs additional. But according to my brother still cost half of what some other off campus place wanted to charge, and the boy could still do sports.Which is probably the only reason Strake even looked at him. LOL.
