The principal seems to be running a fairly good school system given the hardships of the current economy but some of the troubles of the past continue. As a working parent it is hard to find ways to become involved in, or even knowledgeable about, the classroom activities and goals. From what we can

The PTA is hard to get involved in due to lack of information on meeting contents and objectives. The environment seems friendly and safe. The support for special needs is good given budget constraints. Read less

Principal lacks leadership. Principal panders to 'popular' staff and parents. Staff range from excellent to very weak. Tension is created with interfering parents and class formations. Primary office staff outstanding. PTA active but overbearing. Elementary school should be a happy place.

Two of my children attended this school from k-6, the second til 5th. Parent participation is highly recommended with each teacher to know exactly what your child is learning. My son seemed to get the teachers that lacked motivation. The classrooms were a bit overcrowded in the upper grades for much

We did have some nice times at this school, however, the lack of compation from certain teachers was a major disappointment. On the other hand, we did have some excellent teachers. It is very important to have your child feel encouragement and understanding in his/her daily surroundings. The after-school programs are not part of Tulita's school staff. Hands on Art was the very best program I have ever seen. Read less

The parents are very involved and the extracurricular activities are helpful in supporting further learning with programs such as chess, music and drama. I wish the teaching was more innovative and the principal was a stronger leader though.
