Great group of teachers that work hard to make sure all students are learning to the best of their ability. Administration is in tune with the teachers and the students and are very supportive of their staff.

My name is Travis Motal and I am the principal of Taylor Middle School. Our vision is that all students will be successful. Our staff works hard to reach this vision daily. We have a great group of students that have so many wonderful attributes and we are very proud of all of their accomplishments now and the ones we know they will reach in the future. If you have any questions, comments or concerns...please contact me: tmotal@taylorisd.org. Thank you for supporting the students and community of Taylor.

After having our children attend NPE and THJ, we were extremely happy with Taylor ISD. However, then they transitioned into MSI and the nightmare began. In 4th grade, my child's teacher could not be bothered to post grades. informing us that she would have them in before the end of the grading period. That's all well and good but what is the point of being able to access the parent portal if the grades aren't posted? One of my children was bullied, called derogatory names (definitely not words a 4th grader should be saying!), and hit by another student. When asked why nothing was done about this, the teacher stated it was because my child didn't tell her about it even though it happened during PE and my child informed the coach. When the same student continued this behavior and even wrote statements about my child on a bathroom wall, all the teacher would say was some sob story about how the student in question was acting out as they felt no one liked them. The worst incident occurred close to the end of that year when a different student stabbed my child in the arm with a pencil!!! You would think the school would contact myself or my husband to let us know what happened, especially since my child had to go to the nurse's office. No one called us, e-mailed us, or even sent us a message on their supposed communication app. We found out when our child told us about it later that night. I was absolutely furious and contacted the Deputy Superintendent. However, despite all of this obvious negligence on the part of not only the teacher but also the principal, we never received so much as an assurance that the situation would be handled. We just received more excuses about why the child who stabbed my child said they did it. I shouldn't have to be worried to send my kids to school but since they have started going to MSI, I am terrified of what will happen next since there is no discipline, no control, no accountability, and no leadership at this farce of a school.

THJ is a judge free zone for all children, all the staff members treat and care for the kids as their own. My child has grown tremendously and loves to attend school & learn new things!
