Forman Elementary School

My boys have been attending Forman since 2003.. The teachers are very involved with the students..

Grandmother here. A second year at Forman, YEAH! After years of looking my daughter's special needs son is in the right place! The Forman Family really cares. The aids are great! You know who you are! If they could just clone them! And the administration listens to parents. The Principal is there for the kids and the parents. The teachers ask how can we approach educating our special needs children, what will work best. And then they give their all. If there was one thing that I would change.... please add a section in the yearbook for the Special Ed kids who are not pictured on a "grade" page.

My family recently moved to another school district after having been at Forman for 3 years. I TRULY wish we could move back! Forman is a wonderful school where the teachers take the time to listen to parents and their concerns. My daughter has learning issues, but she was always treated with respect, and was given the chance to prove herself. I saw first hand the children at Forman are the Top priority! My daughter and I miss Forman and the Unique Wonderful teachers that give of themselves everyday!

This is my 8th year at Forman and each year I find something new that I love about our school. The staff gives of themselves each and everyday to ensure academic, social, & emotional growth and success of each and every student. We are truly a family who in tough times will pull together to get the job done FOR KIDS!

Forman is not just a school, it is both a community and an extended family for staff and students and parents.

Students here can excel despite socioeconomic issues in their lives.

For ten years I have worked for Forman Elementary. I have never seen such a dedicated group of staff determined to do whatever it takes for our students. Many of our students come to us with a disadvantage in life experiences. Forman does an outstanding job providing fieldtrip opportunities and bringing in speakers to expand our students knowledge. Forman has also made community partnerships with local businesses to help pay for some of our programs that otherwise our children would not get to experience. These are just a couple of things at how Forman provides for its students; but it is nothing compared to what our students provide to us, satisfaction and confirmation that we are making a difference.

I have had 4 children at Forman. One is currently in first grade, and one in 5th grade. We do have a 9 year old that we took out of school this year (she has special needs - and the staff really did a great job with her, but ultimately, home school is best for her right now). I would give it 5 stars - as grades K through 3 have very good teachers. However, I have found that after 4th grade, the teachers seem to be more focused on worrying about TAKS than educating the kids. I find this the fault of the system, not the teachers themselves. The Principal, Ms. Tran is always very approachable. The Resource Teachers there as well as the Speech Therapists they have on staff are excellent. The PACE teacher, though, Ms. Patrick, is the shining star of the school.
