Both of my children have attended TES since it was opened. The teachers are wonderful. They encourage the kids to do their best, and the school has consistently bettered it's report card, upping it's scores each year. The art, music, and PE programs have fabulous teachers which adds to a well rounded

I agree with the comments by one parent that had had children in both Del Rio and Territorial. I do think switching principals at the schools would be a good and positive move. I noticed that one comment was made by a teacher, that does not her own children attending Territorial. That is nice to be

Maybe readjusting the school boundaries would help raise the scores at TES. Something clearly needs to be done. Teachers at both schools are equally experienced and qualified.

Territorial and Del Rio are engaged in an unpleasant comparison of both schools. The educational philosophies of the principals are very different. This can be a positive thing, but for a small community like Chino, it seems to be tearing apart the town. The two schools have very divergent populations

I respected the principal at D.R. much more than the principal at Territorial. Something drastic needs to be done to help Territorial raise their test scores. Perhaps a bold move, such as switching principals to the other school, could prove or disprove which person can produce a school of high achievers in Chino Valley. The focus should be on the good of the children of Chino Valley, and preparing them to be our future leaders, workers, and producers of society, not on which side of the highway they live. Read less
