I have have been at Furr. I feel like the teachers really try to help the students. They don't want anyone to fail the classes. The problem is, there is TOO much support for the students giving them every chance to complete work that should have been done 6 weeks prior. Teachers stay to tutor every

Posted by a community member on 9/23/2014My husband and myself graduated from this school as well as his sister and my four siblings. My son just started this school year there and he loves it.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI went to this school years ago and the staff back then was awesome. I don't know what has happened to the school since then. I have 3 grand kids that attend this school. First off the staff is rude starting with the office, and the cafeteria staff. One of the Pre-K teacher's speaks very a harsh to the kids. If its up to me my Grand kids will not return to this school.Other Review8y ago - Port Houston Elementary School
