Here’s my review of Fabra Elementary as a parent! It’s such a great school—my kids like it, and I can tell the Principal and teachers really care about the students. They’re always pushing them to do their best, and it’s awesome to see how much they want our kids to succeed. The only thing that’s bugged me is when I emailed the Assistant Principal and didn’t hear back. I thought that was pretty rude, honestly.I do wish Texas would calm down with all the STAAR testing nonsense. It puts so much stress on everyone, and I feel like if the teachers didn’t have that hanging over them, they could do even more for our kids. They’d probably learn a ton more and actually have fun with it! But seriously, Fabra’s amazing. We moved here just for this school district, and I’m so glad we did—it’s the best elementary school we could’ve hoped for our children.

My daughter is completing 8th grade. The campus and overall experience is positive. I can only speak to our experience. And to be frank, my daughter is socially adjusted and in Honors classes. So this is our experience. Pros:- school prepares children for critical thinking- school is safe and has solid safety protocols- Coaches are dedicated and positive- Modern and well appointed campus/ facility- My daughter has “loved” a handful of teachers and likes most of them- Great Electives options- Students are well-acclimated and seem to have options for activities, friend groups, etc. Cons:- a few teachers do not act in a professional manner (rude or degrading) - seemed to concentrate in 6th grade staff. One math teacher is especially rude and seems to enjoy embarrassing students. - Some teachers exhibit unprofessional behavior: disorganized, reference their religion excessively, overbearing application of dress code (e.g. following students into other teacher’s classes and causing disruptions). As with everything in life- you get out what you put in. And a school is not a replacement for parental involvement or personal dedication of the students. To parents complaining about sports programs- the school programs are competitive and select students accordingly. In Track, not all students participate in Meets, but are on the team. That’s more inclusive than many schools.

We moved here for the schools and while I do like the fact that the school is not as large as San Antonio high schools, I feel as though the school has not learned how to handle the growth or the negative changes that face them. The education itself is not great. The teachers are hit or miss. Some really great and some just show up. The vaping is a big thing here and it’s getting out of hand. Larger schools are able to manage this and fix it, yet this district cannot figure it out. The district still struggles with bus service due to lack of drivers and not enough parking for student drivers half the year. A lot of classes have been cut as well. Their business CTE program is lacking compared to what is offered in other districts. Both my teens struggle to find classes to fill their schedule and end up not getting their selected choice due to limited space. The classes offered seem great, just know they are not offered every semester or not at all
