Owens Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: other Quality Score: 5 2008-01-15 “This school is excellent. Great Staff. Very Friendly.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2007-05-03 “My experience with Owens elementary was horrific! Being a teacher myself and working in education I could not believe the things that were going on at that school. Administration including the principal is well below standard. There is no communication in regards to the kids well being. They are more interested in punishing the kids instead of helping them. It's a disgrace to the Cy-Fair school district. I ultimately had to remove my child and put her in a school in my district. TEA needs to be sent there to clean house.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2006-07-09 “Because of my husbands job, we transfer frequenlty and have been able to experience many different school systems across the country. Based on other experiences Owens is horrible! I wish my children didn't have to go there and really regret buying a house in the zone. The entire year is focused on the TAKS test and the children aren't learning anything. My oldest child attened last year and has to return in the fall. I have to send my kindergarten aged child there in the fall but I'm trying to find a way to afford private school or any alternative for the following year. I've even switched my major (still working on my degree) to education in the hopes that I can teach elsewhere and take my children there. The principal is concerned with what looks good on her resume, not what is good for the students.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-03-14 “Owens Elementary is a solid academic school. When my children attended the teachers were focuses solely on learning, and that was great,but there were never much opportunity for other fun activities for the children, it was very monotonous and dull. Great School academically, but need a balance in learning.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2006-01-23 “Extremely disappointed. 4th graders dont know multiplication prior learning division. Kids take a Writing TAKS but arent taught to write a book report. No grammar skills are taught. Cursive isnt taught. Reading is not taught. The only purpose of this school is the outcome of the TAKS. My child scores exemplary on the TAKS because that is all they teach at Owens. Its deplorable that the well-to-do parents dont drive their Hummers and children to private school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-06-04 “I have to say that I am very disapointed with the perfomance of the principal at Owens Elementary. Unfortunately, the school has lost some of the best teachers I have ever met and I am very sad about it and concerned about my child's future at that school” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-05-24 “Based upon my 9 years of experience with Owens I give the Teachers who taught my children an 'A'. They are fantastic. The Parents-especially the PTO--do a great job supporting Owens especially with the funding of events like 'Exchange City', 'Ropes' and 'Nature Trails'. So the Parents get an 'A'. I would give the Gifted and Talented differentiated curriculum a 'D'. I have not seen much differentiation. I would give the open classroom concept an 'F'. The idea of having no walls and very little sound attenuation may save construction costs but the functionality is greatly lacking. The use of technology needs to continue to be improved so I would give technology use a 'C'. When I look at how much I pay in school tax versus the additional cost of a private school or home schooling I give Owens an overall grade of 'A'.”
