Taylor Elementary School

Average. Lots of complacency in this school, because non minority kids from highly educated dual income families rarely fall off the socioeconomic pyramid, at least for a while. Kids are rarely challenged because it may stress them or make others feel bad

Awesome on every level!!The no homework policy at Taylor is highly effective . It allows the student to focus more on learning and being excited about sharing what they learned ar school. The teachers also take time to email the parents talking points to go over with the students. My son is a minority but feels very included socially and academically. He had excelled far better at Taylor. Although he is naturally gifted academically, I like Taylor because they aallowed him to thrive . Started in 1st grade currently in 3rd reading on a 7th grade level.

This school is not diverse whatsoever. In my entire experience there, I think there were three non-white kids at most.

Taylor has been an amazing place for my SPED son. We moved into the area from a school district that simply could not or would not support him (I prefer to assume the former and cite poor training and experience). By the end of two years of Kinder at this former school, my son was beat down and hated anything associated with school and learning. We moved into the Taylor district for 1st grade, and I absolutely credit his 1st grade teacher with saving his academic experience and getting him to love school and learning again. The IEP process was a little intimidating at first - 8 school personnel on 1 parent - but my experience was teachers who are 100% committed to supporting each child the best way possible and administrators who respected teacher perspective, while trying to keep the process within the process so that the supports could go forward without question. I love Taylor, the teachers, the SPED support and am hoping we can find a home in the area so that we can stay in this district!
