Harmony School of Science – Austin

We wanted to find a better school for our first grader we thought we did. However this place is an unorganized mess. Orientation was a train wreck. They seemed to be under the impression that everyone should just know where to go and what to do. There were no signs on where to go, tables were scattered in the cafeteria and easily lost among the congestion of people. I still for the life of me can’t understand how the teacher isn’t there for orientation. It said meet returning teachers in the email but I guess that does not include all teachers. They also don’t allow you in the school on the first day so yeah let me drop off my 6 year old with someone I’ve never met before.
I mistakingly left the school supplies there but shortly after leaving knew it wasn’t the school for us. So we called at 8am to pick them up by 4 pm. By no surprise I showed up at 4 and nothing is ready. I finally left with half of what we dropped off but after interacting with the staff and witnessing their unprofessional attitude even bad mouthing another parent, and excuses for their inadequacy i felt it best to leave before I said something that warrants a call to the police. But hey let’s be honest don’t wine about how busy you’ve been… This is what you do. Figure out a system and be better.
These people felt shady, disorganized and unprofessional. By no means did I feel comfortable leaving my daughter with them. A parent should feel confident in a staff that you trust to care for your child I left with zero confidence in this school.
