Fairfield Plan in Williams Reserve East by D.R. Horton
Conroe, TX 77303

Austin has many teachers with passion! You can tell how much they love their jobs just by seeing the effort they've put into decorating their classrooms.. Last year we had Mrs. Frenzel in 2nd grade at Austin and she was wonderful! She really cared about my sons well being and not just his grades. She's easy to talk to, and the kids adored her because she taught outside of the box and made learning fun. She didn't nitpick the kids about sitting up straight in their chairs as long as they were learning or working. she met with my son twice a day each to day help him individually with math and reading. His DRA score more than tripled during his 2nd grade year! The year before, my student had Mrs. Tribe, and she was great too. She really cared about my son and I could tell she loved him like her own. It's refreshing to find teachers like those I've had at Austin. My daughter is here now as well and I'm already hearing her beg to be put in our favorite teachers' class. Front staff was always nice, but sometimes it's a pain standing in line twice to check out our kids on holiday early checkouts. i tolerate it since its for the safety of the kids. Doors are always locked.

Have no problems with the school but lack of communication, never hear from teachers, kids never bring home anything to study for finals or a test. My student tells me all.time they don't teach us anything.

Need to give better food and have more plates

Our family moved from Klein ISD to Conroe ISD, with only our youngest son still in school. We hoped he would thrive, make friends, and enjoy the new environment, but his first year (2025-2026 term, 6th grade) has been deeply disappointing and challenging. The teachers assigned to him have been consistently rude and unprofessional, often complaining and contacting me during my work hours to report concerns about his behavior or academics. Although I recognize my son’s behavior isn’t always perfect, discouraging remarks from teachers—like “I’ve lost all hope in you” and “I can’t help you”—have only made matters worse. My son has a learning disability, is easily distracted, and finds loud environments overstimulating, but these needs have not been met with understanding or support. The classroom environment is harsh, with teachers raising their voices in response to misbehavior, increasing anxiety and discomfort. Bullying is a serious problem; my son has both witnessed and experienced students making inappropriate gestures and threats, including threats involving ICE. Though reports are filed, nothing seems to change or improve. Teachers rarely listen to students, dismissing my son’s attempts to explain himself. Even during the holidays, when we offered gifts to his teachers, we noticed a lack of appreciation. Our experience at Klein ISD was much more positive, and we miss the supportive environment there. The transition has been difficult for our entire family, leading us to seriously consider homeschooling. I’m unfamiliar with other local options and cannot recommend another school. Despite ongoing development in the area, the schools have not kept pace with improvement, and it may be several years before Conroe ISD reaches the quality found at Katy ISD.
