I was blessed to be a parent at Tiffany Elementary since 2022. I had two children attend Tiffany in the Dual Immersion (DI) program. Throughout our time at Tiffany, overall it was a fantastic school. Things I loved: - The principal & staff were always extremely involved on a personal level and knew us by name. - They offer DI. I really wanted my children to do the DI program. My older son had challenges in the program, but the challenges were specific to him. We don't speak Spanish at home & he was resisting learning Spanish. The teachers were very accommodating & provided us with many resources. In the end we decided to pull him out of the program at the end of 3rd grade. My daughter on the other hand was flourishing in the DI program. Every child is so different. - When my son was in Kinder & First grade he had some behavioral issues. They allowed him to see the school counselor and that was so helpful and an amazing resource. - It has a real family friendly vibe. The families are all very much involved. The 6th graders act like kids and dress like kids. It has a nice little neighborhood small tight knit community feel. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5:- I felt like my son wasn't doing well in DI since 1st grade & I kept bringing that up to the teachers & principal, however I felt like they kept encouraging me to keep him in and just stick it out although my concern was year after year. - I did not have the best experience with my son's 1st grade teacher. She would say he was "bad" and when I asked her what was bad about his behavior she couldn't give me anything specific except he had high energy, which in my opinion is normal for a 5/6 year old boy. She was a new teacher to the school that year and luckily was transferred to a grade that was more appropriate to what she can handle. I will say though I started volunteering in the class and after that gave her so much grace. The class was really high energy and I wish she was given a TA to help her- My daughter's TK year was really inconsistent. For half the year the teacher was out and it was a bunch of different substitutes. Luckily my daughter is resilient and didn't mind, but I saw a lot of other kids have trouble that year. Overall though I loved this school. The challenges I had were things that were out of the principal and staffs control and I look back and truly know they did the best they could.
