"My experience with Owens Elementary has been horrific! We moved here from out of state & bought a house in an extremely nice neighborhood only to find out that our child would be required to wear a uniform-which is ridiculous! You know it is going to be a bad year when you go to Open House night only to be told that Science and Social Studies would not be taught as seperate subjects to your child--they would be incorporated with Reading and Math! Let's get real here-they aren't teaching them seperately because they aren't on the TEKS test! The 'open concept' classroom was tried in the 50's & 60's & deemed an unacceptable learning environment-don't we pay enough taxes to get walls in Cy-Fair? Punishment for minor infractions is the main agenda @ Owens! They are more interested in punishing than helping children."

"My experience with Owens elementary was horrific! Being a teacher myself and working in education I could not believe the things that were going on at that school. Administration including the principal is well below standard. There is no communication in regards to the kids well being. They are more interested in punishing the kids instead of helping them. It's a disgrace to the Cy-Fair school district. I ultimately had to remove my child and put her in a school in my district. TEA needs to be sent there to clean house."

"Because of my husbands job, we transfer frequenlty and have been able to experience many different school systems across the country. Based on other experiences Owens is horrible! I wish my children didn't have to go there and really regret buying a house in the zone. The entire year is focused on the TAKS test and the children aren't learning anything. My oldest child attened last year and has to return in the fall. I have to send my kindergarten aged child there in the fall but I'm trying to find a way to afford private school or any alternative for the following year. I've even switched my major (still working on my degree) to education in the hopes that I can teach elsewhere and take my children there. The principal is concerned with what looks good on her resume, not what is good for the students."
