Willbern is a fabulous school. The staff is dedicated to the students. I have grown to love the diversity of the student population. The growth of students absolutely amazes me. I have found great support from fellow parents and the PTO. I am excited about the new principle. She seems very approachable.

Both of my children are attending Willbern. One in 5th other in Kindergarten. I love this school. No school is perfect, but my approval is 90% positive. I had the pleasure (and headache) of being on the PTO for years. I'm not any longer, but support them 100%. We would love more parent involvement.
... Read more I know the number of parents that were involved when we started verses now has tripled (PTO works very hard to get our parents involved). As for our Principle, I could not be happier with the change. She absolutely is a wonderful person. She is so excited and happy to be at Willbern. No there is no extracurricular activities. I would like to know what other schools have. We could work on that. If you are looking for a good organization Cy-Fair Sports Assoc. is great. Teachers A++. In 6 yrs have nothing bad to say.

We have 2 children in this school and I really like it. We have a new principal this year and she is wonderful. I received a response to an email in less than 10 minutes after sending it. Our school has some economically disadvantaged children and as a result parent involvement during the day is

This is an excellent elementary school. My daughter went there from Kindergarten through 5th, and we were very happy all the way through. No school is faultless all the time, but I would certainly send another child of mine to it. They teach music classes but have no orchestra and only a 5th-grade

The only complaint we have is that in PE classes the teachers were only interested in the kids that were in extracurricular sorts; if you weren't, they didn't know you existed. Academics are excellent and the teaching is very good. Parental involvement is welcomed and encouraged, and the PTO is very active. Read less

This is a good with a big BUT...the new principal is very military like and likes to make a lot of unnecessary rules. The school is heavily Hispanic so the ESL classes and students get a lot more attention than the average and gifted classes. Music, art and PE are on 6 week rotation like all CFISD
