Elementary Schools Consulting

Parents are applying to private schools in record numbers. They are anxious about whether their neighborhood public elementary school can provide a solid foundation for their child’s education. Even the best Houston ISD magnet programs and Spring Branch ISD schools are slipping in the rankings due to crowded classrooms and huge budget cuts that impact enrichment and teacher salaries. Vanguard magnet schools have waiting lists up 2,000 students. Houston’s growth is not slowing down and private school applications for elementary grades are at all time highs.

A Consultation with SCHOOL SOLUTIONS can answer your questions such as whether public or private school would be better for your child, how the private school application process works, or the differences among types of private schools.

A Guidance Plan identifies a list of schools where your child has the potential to thrive.

A Placement Plan provides a right list of schools for your child and helps you navigate the complex, competitive admission process at private day schools. If desired, we support your applications to public magnet programs. The Consultant will engage with your child several times using surveys and games to determine interests and activities that are important in considering school choice.

SCHOOL SOLUTIONS has strong relationships with private day school admission directors who are happy to meet the families for whom we advocate. This is particularly important when a child has been diagnosed with a learning difference or for any other reason needs a change of schools at a non-entry point grade.

Luna Recovery Opens Tanglewood Location

By Carolyn Means • 14 Jan, 2023

I recently attended a luncheon to celebrate the opening of the newest Luna Recovery facility which is located at 5757 Woodway Drive. Although I do not place students in residential therapeutic programs, I often get calls from families looking for local outpatient treatment programs. I also help students find the right school to attend when they have completed treatment in residential programs. All but a few of those attending were therapists and counselors, many of whom were professional friends I refer families to for counseling. The speakers included a therapist at Luna Recovery, Dr. Crystal Collier, PLLC , author of the hottest new book, The Neuro WhereAbouts Guide, and Dr. Jon Stevens, MD , a psychiatrist with Menningers and in private practice. If you are looking for speakers to talk about current issues with adolescents, these folks are tops in their field and will hold the attention of any audience with adolescents.

New Middle School for Houston

By Carolyn Means • 25 Feb, 2022

A new independent middle school is opening in Southwest Houston this fall, and I am thrilled to share the news with families. The school plans to open with 6th and 7th grades this Fall - 2022. The leadership includes two brilliant, experienced educators : Eric Lerch from Episcopal High School as Head of School and Judy Adams, former River Oaks Baptist Middle School Principal, who serves as Board President. Tune in for a virtual event on March 6th to learn about their vision for a meaningful middle school experience. How will DBA approach curriculum, community and character in a new way for middle school students? I'm excited to find out !
