My son is about to go into first grade and has had a few minor issues including a speech delay. Right hand left hand confusion due to being left handed and being forced to use his right hand sometime during his 2 yrs in preschool and also a minor attention problem. He has had a wonderful team helping

He is right back to where he should be in such a short time and they have made him go from being hesitant and nervous about school to loving every minute. What a blessing this staff has been. If this school scores low at all it is not due to the staff I have encountered. I noticed some kids have a low english vocabulary and parents need to be more involved. Read less

Third grade teacher is a gem, teaching the students how to practice metacognition - thinking about their thinking. Strong parent support from a core group of parents. Very diverse.

As a current parent, I am concerned that the school has way too much tolerance for aggresive behavior. Where is the supervision? And when the administators are aware, they do almost nothing about it! We are leaving mid-year and I only wish I had pulled my child out earlier. This school has some great

I am a parent of a child at Truckee Elementary. Sadly, I have been very disappointed in this school. It seems to me that many of the teachers have become complacent, passive educators. There is too much emphasis on the extracurricular activites and not enough on the basic fundamentals. With test

I must say that there are some outstanding teachers there as well and I believe that alot can be learned from these few. You get your best work out of an employee in the first 6 months of employment.
