Carl A. Furr Elementary School

I have a daughter attending 4th grade...I must say, I am not impressed at all! I have heard great things about Cabarrus County Schools and really looked forward to my daughters first year attending in the county. I have had less than stellar interactions with the staff at this school...even the front office "vibe" is stale. It's as if you're invading their world & they look at you like "why are you here?" The parent-teacher open communication is lacking and it seems as if they're only going to do the very minimum. I did not feel the "passion" from the teachers that I believe is so very important in the lives of our children & even my daughter has made small references to her lackluster experience with her teachers here (but she LOVES her friends, so that's great!) But, all in all, it seems this a good school from what I've heard...just perhaps my experience with the 4th grade team has left me a little wary about my daughter returning next year.

Because it is a good school and safe for students k-5 and has a wonderful staff team

My children have attended CAFE for three years now and we have been pleased with their teachers and the quality of instruction. They look forward to school each day. Parents are welcomed at the school and given many choices to volunteer in their children's classrooms. My kindergardener started the SPLASH program this year and loves it! We had several other options for elementary school in 2013-2014 but decided to stay at Furr because its a great school. I highly recommend CAFE.

Talented & Caring teachers. Wonderful administration. Clean & beautiful campus with modern & fun playgrounds. Best school in Cabarrus County!
