About Good Shepherd Episcopal School
Good Shepherd Episcopal School is a small, nurturing elementary school located in Kingwood, part of the larger Houston area. Serving students from pre-kindergarten through transitional kindergarten, this school has an enrollment of just 30 students and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 15:1 with two full-time equivalent teachers. Despite its small size, Good Shepherd Episcopal School offers personalized attention that can be hard to find in larger institutions.
While the school’s MySchoolScout rating is 5.4 out of 10 and it ranks 8th percentile among Texas schools, these metrics do not fully capture the unique strengths and supportive environment of Good Shepherd Episcopal School. The lack of specific test score data means that there are no concrete academic benchmarks to compare against, but this also allows the school to focus on student development in other meaningful ways. Good Shepherd Episcopal School is situated in a setting within a large city, providing students with access to diverse resources and experiences while maintaining the close-knit feel of a smaller community.
What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 30 students, Good Shepherd Episcopal School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
As a private school, Good Shepherd Episcopal School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
