I hate this school and believe their open room concept is for the birds. You will find a few teachers that have been teachers for 12+ years and still remember how to teach. But for the most part they are all young and only know how to teach to the Test. They don't even teach cursive writing anymore....
... Read more My son did well because I re-taught him basically everything each night and made him do well. He is in 5th grade so we are through with Jowell. But will be moving out of this district in hopes of finding better education. Also a note for new parents to remember. The demographics and neighborhoods around Jowell have changed drastically!!!!! It does make a difference in education. Good Luck! Read less

I do not like Jowell at all. While both my sons are exceeding academically, they are doing so because of their ability and because the teachers are good - the school itself and all of its policies are very below par! They are underfunded and much more concerned with state testing than with giving enriching

My family and I moved to the Cyfair school district recently because of my job relocation. My wife and I have always heard good things about the Cyfair ISD. So we opted for my daughter to transfer to Jowell from a private school, in August 03 to start 4th grade. During her tenure at the private school
... Read more she was a budding academic star, but seemed to not be challenged enough because she was growing bored. At Jowell I am impressed with the curriculum and how much more challenging it has been for her there. Her teacher/teachers show genuine concern. They challenge her, and make her think harder, and expect nothing less of her best, in which she performs. I m very grateful for Mrs. G, and the rest of the Jowell family for welcoming her with open arms and assisting in a smooth transition. Read less
