In response to the review re; privilege. Our family of 4 (6th and 3rd grade) has had the privilege of attending Tuckahoe Elementary for several years standing now. My husband also attended this school 32 years ago. We in fact live on the “other side of Patterson” in a tiny 1230sq ft house and we do have immigrant neighbors and kids of lower socioeconomic standing, on our street. We’ve had opportunities to leave and move into a bigger place but we love the school so much, in the tiny house we stay. In the past few years, our school has worked very hard to understand the needs of everyone across the board. They have paid attention and given real consideration of what the way is and how to do it, in 2024. They have made great efforts to include everybody. I’ve noticed more the last two years, that there are so many more assignments and projects that have a global learning aspect and that’s just wonderful. We are global citizens. My son came home today showing me he had written Chinese Characters and their meanings. I’m half Korean so my kid studying Ancient China in 3rd grade is is so exciting to me. Which kids know what the character is for Love and can actually write it out? TES kids can! Recently there was a global quilt the kids did, where they were assigned a sheet of paper (quilt square) and they were to draw and color about their own family heritage and culture. And it was all put together like a quilt with everyone’s cultures joining each other. So sweet! I have been beyond impressed at how much TES has been teaching our kids about global citizenship! We are so super proud of our school! We also changed the TES mascot and it’s no longer an American Indian. We are one family and 5 houses. We are respectful, trustworthy, grateful, compassionate, courageous. Go TES! Go House Haathee! Any family would be very lucky to have an opportunity to attend this school. The Jones family loves TES. So much that this mom has forgone personal space just so we can be part of the school!

This place has become an uncontrolled mess in the time that my kid has gone there. Students are violent and destructive and administration seems unable to handle it. Lots of bullying with no consequences.

The staff are the most arrogant and condescending that we’ve seen in any of the states we’ve lived. Can’t wait to take my daughter out of this school next year.
