Our children have had a wonderful experience at the elementary school. The teachers are awesome, the administrators are engaged and responsive. Even though it is a small community it has great energy and a lot of creative, caring folks.

At this point in time tburg hs is not serving the needs of high performing students. Many parents have individually spiken with administrators. Advanced classes are being cut out and teachers let go. Board of ed minutes show two big adminisrative jobs creayed achool year 2013-4 asst. Superintendent and assist director of technology. Hs principal's wife hired into rare newly created teaching asst position same school year --see boe minutes. School is riding on high test scores of a handful of students. There are sone good teachers but a lot have retired. Focus is not at all on high performing kids -- you're on yiur own. Current hs principal cycled thru many 4-5 districts before landing at tburg in a time of "drama". He was a guidance counselor specializing as per his job and masters thesis in troubled kids.

The Russell I Doig Middle School has strong leadership from administration and staff. There is a nice character education program, challenging courses, great sports teams, fantastic music and other extra curricular offerings. it's a nice place to work and send your children!
