We have been at this school going on four years with four children. I have experienced TK - 6th grade and honestly I am very happy with this school. I feel I can always come in if I have an questions and concerns and I will be seen and heard. It's a beautiful campus and everyone is friendly. Taylor has exceeded my expectations!

My children have had very good teachers that clearly explain what the homework is for the day or week. It is easily understandable and I believe it is an appropriate amount. The only complaint is I feel it is too vague or broad in what they are actually learning in class. It usually consists of reading every night and and occasionally a math page or studying math facts, which is great but it doesn't quite let a parent know what the child is learning or struggling with in class. Homework is more like studying than actual homework. It has it's pros and cons. It's not time consuming but it also doesn't let a parent know if the child needs help in the area of work they are actually learning about in class.

The teachers I've had the pleasure of having have been kind, caring, and respectful. I believe they each have tried their very best to help each student succeed. Many have gone out of their way to send addition worksheets or share tips on how to better help my child. Every teacher has had great communication with me as a parent when I had any concerns or questions. The teachers have been a positive role model to my children.

I believe this school has two great leaders. They really set the tone which really inspires the whole school to follow in their footsteps. It really feels like they not only focus on the education of the students but also on the character of the students. This school is inviting and a closer knit community.

The support this school provides for struggling students is great. I have seen progress in my own struggling child. The school really tries to help and build better readers. My son's 6th grade teacher goes out of his way to help students retake test with non passing grades. He reteaches the lesson to make sure they understand it and allows them the retake the test. My daughter in 2nd grade get extra help in reading and brings home a new paperback book every night to keep and read to practice reading. I feel the school tries it's best to help students with learning differences.

We have not had any trouble with bullying personally but I know the Vice Principal is awesome at protecting and putting a stop to any bullying. I believe the entire staff does a great job on making sure the students are respectful and safe.

I attended this school for a few years when the principal Mr. Torres was there. It was awesome! Honestly the best years of my life, but that was about 8-9 years ago. I don't know how it is run now. I always seem to remember: Teacher: "When I say Timber you say Wolves!" Teacher: "Timber!" Students: "Wolves!" <3(:
