Do not send your child to this school. They will be exposed to bullying, racism, burned out teachers, and poor leadership. The school will avoid providing any services or evaluations at all cost. The quality of this school continues to decline. This school is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

We love Templeton Elementary! Our daughter has had an amazing Second grade year here and we are sad to be moving on to a different school.Mrs.Southern, the principal, the office staff(nurse Marcia, Terisa& Jessica), & the teachers are warm and caring. This is an amazing place for children to be introduced to school!

Everyone at this school is horrible and mean including the staff. There are people being bullied or having rumors spread about them daily and the teachers just look the other way. The only reason you see good reviews about this school is because the parents/teachers are writing them and don’t see what actually goes on with this school. The test scores might be high but if you care about your kid or their mental health at all don’t send them here.

DONT SEND YOUR KID HERE PLEASE!!! I went to this middle school for three years and in those three years I have been yelled at in front of a class for getting lost, screamed at in the halls by other students, catcalled for wearing a skirt, yelled at to take noise cancelling headphones off (I HAVE ASD), kicked in the private area with a steel toed boot as a joke, given no homework and then mountains of homework near the end of the semester, and bullied BY TEACHERS. The food is USUALLY MOLDY AND UNREFRIGERATED. The milk is chunky and I’ve gotten a milk that’s a SOLID BLOCK before. Kids vaping and smoking are always in the bathroom. You will be made fun of for using the bathroom for what it’s for. At one point there was an Instagram account posting pics of people’s shoes as they use the bathroom. There was a Snapchat group chat with all the students posting ugly pictures of them. Football kids followed me singing girl in red for having blue hair (yes this was making fun of me). Multiple bomb threats and they still made us stay in class. Most of my middle school years were spent sobbing in the bathrooms or other places around campus because these were the most depressing years of my life. I even started bawling in class once (I know embarrassing) and no teacher did anything. The water fountains are covered in grime, mold, and have bugs in them. The teaching is ineffective and you are made fun of by the teacher for asking questions or not understanding something. Worst school I’ve ever been too. So glad I never have to go back here. I was called a sheep for trying to make friends. Disabled kids are looked down upon and made fun of. I saw the counselor once for making a poem accidentally using my school account that said I just wanted to “be asleep.” And she said (annoyed) to write something else next time so it doesn’t get flagged and said my parents would be contacted (they weren’t).
