This my sons second year at Toler. My wife and I cannot imagine a better school. The teachers and staff leave nothing to be desired. Everyone works very hard for the kids.
Toler has year after year (yes, before our son was attending) ranked among the highest across the board.
Do not let anyone discourage you from sending your young ones there. They will be in good hands. My son grew and learned so much with them in just one year it blew us away. We know this year will be just as amazing.

Run dont walk away from this school. If the office staff is any indication of the quality of teachers then this is the last place you should send your kiddos. The place is run like a zoo, no one knows the correct answers to basic questions. Texas public education at its best

Not a great school, I hate I allowed my kids to go to this mental and emotional abusive school. My kids say the staff be hollering in they face and once I asked about what happen they always said they didnt do it.... But not just my kids, I have had other kids that attend this school to tell me the exact same thing.. A lot of the kids say they dont like the school because they too mean and some of the staff does a lot of disrespectful stuff to these kids..

Students are given reasonable homework that meets their current learning needs.
Posted: October 20, 2019
Teachers at this school work exceptionally hard to meet needs of their learners both academically and socio emotionally. Students are unable to learn before their basic needs are met, and teachers go out of their way (and own pocket) to do so.

Toler has campus wide terminology and expectations to push students. It's a strong sense of family and pride... the Toler way.
Posted: October 20, 2019
Administration is exceptional and sees the school as a giant family. They work hard and passionately. You can see them in classrooms, greeting students by name, and helping in any way needed. More often than not they're in the school itself rather than their office.

Tutoring before and after school, appreciating students' unique and individual characteristics, clubs that reach all types of interests, teaching styles to meet all learners

It's proactive measures taken to make a culture where bullying is unacceptable.

Toler is a great school that has caring people working tirelessly to educate and prepare students for future. Many teachers work outside their contract hours, including long nights and weekends either at school or by taking things home. They adopt a "these are all mine" mindset to see kids both in their classroom and the school at large as everyone's responsibility. Teachers constantly pitch in to help each other out.

Seems school is teaching to test. No Homework, does not follow own guidelines.

Education is NOT a priority for some of the educators. The office staff is rude and unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend this school to any family or friends. Instead of listening to your concerns (as a parent) they (teacher and office staff) give you attitude, try to "prove a point," and cover each other up for their sake.

Based on my experience and opinion, no. Teacher is more about having "the last word" and proving her point rather than coming up with a solution to a concern.

In the second half of PRE-kindergarten students were given weekly homework assignments. I don't believe 4-year-olds need to be saddled with weekly homework.

This school is run like a military prison. Kids are forced into uniforms with belts and tucked-in shirts lest they come to school in gang attire. Half the parents look like methheads. Rule #1 for the whole school is that all adults must be addressed as "ma'am" or "sir" at all times. I jumped on the magnet program to get my kids out of this school and into one that is educating students, not disciplining future convicts.

This school is good at indoctrinating children. Education is not top priority. They are forced to participate in the pledge (unconstitutionally). A teacher walked over to my son, forced him to stand, put his hand over his heart and told him that it's the principals decision, not his and he has no choice in the matter. My son was also told by his 3rd grade teacher there is no evidence to support evolution and she had pictures of Jesus all over her classroom. This is a public government funded school NOT a religious organization!

I use to love this school until my daughter joined choir. She was very excited about this until her cousin got in trouble and she told my sister..When my daughter goes back to choir practice the choir teacher aske her why did she go tell and that wasnt nice..so I was upset about that because I feel that if my child did something wrong fine call her out but getting after her for telling... come on now that is why alot of our children dont say anything because of this.. After that I called to report this and the asst principal just really didnt seem to care. Oh well.. what can you do.

toler is not a bad school at all, not saying it is agreat school, but reading some of these reviews its seem some the parents just don't follow there kids educations because my child was in performances that I went to see. My child had an awards presentation that I wen to see. I kept in contact with all of his teachers over the past 4 years. I definitly know the teachers he has had cared. I didnt post a grade on the principle leadership. 1st yr. so we will have to see.
