Ada Mae Faubion Elementary School Reviews

I love LISD and my son has attending Naumann as well as Faubion. My daughter started Pre-K here at Faubion and I really appreciated how the office staff did all that they could to help her first of all get in, and secondly feel welcome. She enjoys her teachers, and all of the office staff is very caring and supportive of both of my children at this school. Awesome school!

My son has been with Faubion since Kindergarten, for 5 grades now and my experiences with the school have been mixed. Most of the teachers my child has had have been wonderful, however, the administration is less than responsive and the PTA at the school is a nightmare with massive control issues and egos - situations that are not helped at all by the school administration. One PTA meeting actually included a husband speaking on record regarding the fact that his wife's feelings were hurt by not being invited out with the other parents - this is elementary school on parental levels as well. The backbiting is nauseating. Extra-curricular activities are almost non-existent, and fine arts is infrequent and not daily. Counselor is relatively unsympathetic. Nurse, however, is phenomenal, as is the librarian.

What a wonderful school! My son went here for two years Kinder and 1st. They really embraced his uniqueness. The teachers are understanding and will work with you on any problem. We will definitely miss the school. Words can't describe how wonderful the entire staff is. There are all greatly appreciated.

My son is a first grader at Faubion, and I am very happy with this school! The staff is friendly and responsive, and I feel they go out of their way to meet the individual needs of the students. I love the art, music, and theatre program they offer at the elementary level, and they also have accelerated reading and math programs. The Leander school district in general seems great, and has an innovative program they've developed for creatively gifted students. I particularly love Faubion because my son has some special issues and they let me specify what kind of teacher I'd thought would be good for him, and the teacher they assigned is a perfect match. She has worked with us to come up with strategies to help my son have a positive school experience. I think the school in general has a nurturing environment and great values.

Older school, but well established. I love the music program.

Our experience at this school was overall not good. The teacher did not deal well with unique children although she maintaned good control of her classroom. The principal was practically invisable and when I did see her in the halls, she was a woman on a mission without a kind word to offer those she passed. PTA president should be de-throned. On a positive side, the school nurse is wonderfully helpful, office staff polite and a great music program.

I went through all 6 grades at Faubion (including Kinder). Faubion was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Now my mom works there, and when I go to visit her I am recieved with a smile from the office staff and the teachers, even the ones who don't know me. The school is definately secure, with most doors locked for the kids safety. I have visited other elementary schools in the past during volunteer programs and I have to say, Faubion ranks among the top I have seen!

Great teachers and dedicated staff. I love how much parent participation there is. I also appreciate how the school nurse apprises me of situations promptly.

This school is not parent friendly. The PTA hounds parents and continuously sends notes home begging for volunteers. Parents easily find themselves burned out on PTA. I transfered my child from the school after one year.
