Overall I feel the education my child has received is excellent. I absolutely loved 5th grade teachers (enriched) and the 6th grade are fine too. I do not like how they have changed how enriched worked from 5th to 6th grade. This year is much easier for my child because the teachers,are not dedicated enriched. They are required to teach on level and enriched and I think they do not bother to challenge the enriched. The principal is another matter. He is liked by the students because he acts like one of them. He obviously relates to them. He is not capable of relating to the parents. He gets very defensive if you ask why something is being done a certain way. When he talks to you he does so in circles and by the end you have less information than you did before. I would probably give the school a 4 if not for the principal.

My children attended Taft for kindergarten through 2nd grade. The teachers, office staff and principal are amazing. It seems every staff member in the school know my children and family by name. My youngest is having a hard time learning to read and they have gone above and beyond to help her be successful. The principal makes herself available to the students and families, any concerns have always been immediately addressed. The Milford market, which rewards kids for being well behaved is ingenious. I have always felt my kids aren't only safe at Taft but loved.
