Furr High School

Furr High School sits in the Eastside Houston community, a working-class neighborhood with deep roots and a strong sense of cultural identity — largely Latino and deeply connected to its surrounding families. The school has made headlines in recent years for its focus on restorative practices and student well-being, making it a place where staff invest in the whole student, not just test scores. Families who prioritize a school that's working hard to build something meaningful from the ground up, and who want their kids to feel seen and supported, may find Furr worth a closer look.
