Poe Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-08-22 “I have extremely pleased with the school and their new principal Ms. Gonzales. She is approachable and works with the parents to ensure their kids get the best education. My son finished kindergarten and really grew. First grade is about to start and we asked for our son to be placed in another class better suited to his personality and he was moved. A responsive school, with responsive staff and parents. Even better, the teachers do care about the kids and keep the parents informed about both the good and bad.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2009-05-27 “While Poe is our first experience in the HISD school system, I suspect that Poe is a very special school, particularly in its arts offerings. Our daughter brings home amazing artwork, and the performance and dance kids do there is incredible. Science also seems very strong. The new principal seems excellent -- love her full and unfussy bilinguality -- she just says everything twice in perfect English and perfect Spanish. As may be the case most places, we had to be pro-active to make sure things got done, and to pursue opportunities, but the opportunities are there, and they are abundant. Nice kids, warm educators, pleasant community, great sense of creativity interwoven with learning throughout.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-04-06 “My 2 kids started kindergarten this year at Poe, and I have been very happy with the school. The quality of the education they are receiving and the 2 teachers we've had so far is excellent. The school is more diverse than other area schools, and I think this is a major advantage to the school. There is a lot of parental involvement, and the teachers seem genuinely committed to the school and the students.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-12-04 “I think that the parents are very involved in this school, but most activities are for non-working parents. They don't favor parents that work very much as they have meetings and such at 4:00 in the afternoon? The extended day allows teachers to sell candy to kindergartners. I think that that is crazy! The education is ok but I am not happy with the communication in the school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-01-15 “Poe is an outstanding school in the heart of an historic, affluent neighborhood. The school's diversity mirrors that of the city of Houston. The school's only drawback is that the principal is distant and unapproachable for parents.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-10-05 “No school is perfect, but POE Elementary strives for excellence, and has high standards for student achievement and behavior.' One of the outstanding features is the high level of involvement of parents. In addition, the PTO is well-organized, sponsors an extensive school program with enrichment classes, and the library.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-09-18 “We are very happy with this school and our son has gone there since he was in Kindergarten and he is now in Third grade. One of our favorite parts of the school is that it is very diverse ethnically. White, Black, Hispanic, Asian. A little bit of everything and since that's how the world is we think it's perfect for our children. Teachers are also excellent. In the four years he's been there we have loved every teacher we have had and he has always been pushed to do more in a good way so that he is constantly being challenged. Easily one of the strongest public elementary schools in Houston, America's fourth largest city.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-06-13 “Poe is a really good school. Most of the teachers push the students to reach their full academic potential.” Posted By: administrator Quality Score: 4 2006-06-06 “We have enjoyed this school. We like the diversity of the student body. The parents are very involved. Would our child learn more elsewhere? At some schools maybe. Here they have had a great social network and learned a lot about making friends.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-02-03 “My 2 children started at Poe last year, and I have been very hapy with the quality of education there so far. The teachers seem very dedicated and motivated, and the extracurricular program in the arts is very impressive. I also like that there is a great diversity of students there.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-07-19 “Poe is a wonderful school in the inner part of the city. They have wonderul, dedicated teachers. There is a very active PTO that works hard to ensure a quality education for all of the children.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-04-13 “Good teachers, safe and friendly to kids. Good art curruculum. The PTO is active and does extensive fund raising. Kids love it.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2004-10-28 “Incredible overall school. Kindergarten was the best! First grade was very good. Second grade still works well with students/parents. Third grade strict, but still encouraged love of learning. The 4th Grade Department does not work well with parents. They put too much homework on the 9 year olds. They do not use positive reinforcement or encourage love of learning.”
