My child has been scared to go to school because she doesn’t want to get yelled at by her teacher

This is my son's first year in public school (third grade) after being home schooled for K-2. This far we can only say positive things. His teacher is great, my son loves going to school every day and he is doing really good academically and emotionally.
The school does family nights (stem night, musical performances) and offers clubs (science, art etc.) after school which is also nice.

I am really disappointed that my daughter's teacher -whom she loved so much - was not allowed (per some policy) to give the parents of her students any kind of warning about the fact that she was leaving until the DAY she left. We received a letter that day...not the day before or anything... stating she was leaving. That's it. No warning.

So, I had an inconsolable daughter to deal with, and I was completely unprepared because I had no idea myself that her teacher was leaving. I then had to also deal with not knowing who the replacement would be until my daughter (again, the school did not reach out and make me aware of this) told me the teacher's name. I received NOTHING from the school OR the replacement teacher informing me who was now teaching my child. I heard it from my child.

At this point, as a parent, I feel like an afterthought in this situation. Teachers coming and going can definitely be a huge deal to a child, and our children were kept in the dark until the day of. Our Elementary aged children are the ones that have had to keep us in the loop, which is insane. Very very upsetting. Come on Timber Ridge, you can do better.

My kid is too young for homework.

There definitely seems to be a lack of communication.

Communication with parents needs to improve and teachers need to address bullying instead of hushing the kids.

My son attended TRES for 3 years. We truly loved this school. The administration is phenomenal and they always address any issues that a parent may have promptly. I would recommend this school.

LOVED Mrs Palomino! Our kids had her for three of their years, and she was amazing. I was never concerned for either of our kid's welfare while they attended this school. The staff genuinely cared for them both, and you could feel it when you were on campus.

Timber Ridge is still a wonderful school. Yes, the administration has changed, but the new principal truly cares for each and every one of the students, and does what is best for them. Every. Single. Time. She is always there to speak with parents, and try to resolve any problems or concerns they have. She was even injured in a hail storm trying to save students walking home from getting hurt! Yes, rules have changed, yes, administrators have changed. People are resistant to change, but it isn't always a bad thing.

Timber Ridge used to be one of the very best around but things have changed. There is new administration and they have totally changed the climate of the school. Parents no longer feel welcome to be a part of their child's education, students are forced to "hug" themselves as they walk down the halls, and teachers are berated, spied on, demoralized, and talked down to. There has been a mass exodus of the very best teachers this year. I am afraid to see what the new year holds for a once great school.

My daughter has attended TRES for 2 years now and we absolutely love this school. The teachers are wonderful and caring. The school itself is clean and nice.

I have three kids and they have all gone to Timber Ridge. The school is very well managed and the students have a great opportunity to learn and have fun.

I am totally surprised that there are so few reviews on this school. My niece came to live with me a few years ago and this was the first school she attended as my ward. Because of her limited teaching in the past she was way behind the other students. In fact, she couldn't read at all when going to the second grade. The staff at Timber Ridge was incredible! Not only did they teacher her to read they helped to to excel. In the third grade she made the honor roll. I couldn't have chosen a better school for her to attend. Her years at Timber Ridge will never be forgotten! I want to thank each and every staff member that touched our lives and showed my niece how patience and understand can make a difference in a child's life!

My daughter is so happy here. I love the way Timber Ridge involves the parents and the surrounding community. I am happy with the teachers and staff. They seem to know every child by name and have a variety of great activities.

I have 2 high functioning autistic sons at Timber Ridge. My oldest is in 2nd grade TAG classroom. My youngest is in a 1st grade inclusion classroom. The teachers a wonderful. The administration is amazing. The true concern and desire for individual student progress is at the heart of this staff. My boys have grown so much here. My daughter will start Pre-K this coming year and I have complete confidence she will be successful. I initially thought the front staff was rude but once I got to know them, I realize that they are hard working and busy ladies. They are eager to help parents but they do forget to smile. Their facial expression doesn't always match their mood or intention.

My daughter has attended Timber Ridge for three years and our experience has been all positive. The teachers are excellent, qualified, and caring. The counselors, librarians, and nurse are extremely professional yet kind. My daughter always comes home smiling. Mr Coleman is very repectful and the students shine on his leadership. My daughter was identified TAG at a very early start and all the teachers and staff have supported the challenge. I will definitely allow her to return year after year, and anticipate her sibling to follow.

My twin daughters are in 2nd grade at TimberRidge. I personally have been very pleased with our first year at TR. I have great communication with their teachers by their aggenda books, email, and phone calls. They are both doing well acedemically (Both are honor roll students). The school offers many activites outside the class including a great PE dept, art, computer labs, music class...I believe they call these 'Special Instructional Times'. As a military family we were a little concerned that a civilian school would not be as sensitive to the special circumstances military children face...however, TR has a very large military population and are actually VERY sensitive to the specail circumstances our children face (deployments, frequet moves, etc.) Their PTA is very active and we have attended several special events hosted at the school by the PTA. Overall, so far we love Timber Ridge!
