This school went downhill. The majority of the teachers don't have any patience at all! The majority of the teachers want robot students, they are constantly telling the children to shut up! Teachers tend to generalize always a good student with the rest of the misbehaved challenged children. The principal is barely at the school, I barely see her walking up and down in the campus. There is no order or good management skills to remove the bad teachers. Teachers shouldn't treat children bad because of their behavior. All of the staff members a rude and condescending in this school with no manners what so ever. Definitely the school board needs to get involved in this school and do a major clean of attitude of the personnel here. Tests scores are enforced so much because the principal is looking for a raise in her paycheck! The children are placed in a lot of pressure constantly. Don't enroll your child here, I don't recommend it.

Run as far and as fast as you can from this school.Security is a joke. I can enter the school at any time day, night, weekends, etc. because the band props their outside doors open with rocks. They have red alerts (not drills) almost weekly. Guns, knives, fights, kids being jumped, cops leading kids out in handcuffs are pretty much daily occurrences. The Principle is never there and when you try to bring something to his attention he is mean, rude, condescending and likes to talk over people. He is the biggest bully in the school. The school and many teachers also breed the bullying culture in that school because they don't care about their students. Their first reaction to everything is "you're not going to get me in trouble for that". The good teachers don't last long because of the administration. If your not in football, expect no support from administration. Band, color guard, cheerleaders are heckled and stuff thrown at them during games. The Band and Color Guard were put on temporary unsafe bleachers in the end zone where they had to dodge footballs, players and mud.The ESE staff is wonderful, but it is no wonder they are worn out, stepping down and retiring. They are constantly having to fight with teachers who do not want to follow an IEP. My daughter has gone from a happy person to miserable, depressed, high anxiety, not wanting to go to school and needing therapy since she started at this school. Doing a reassignment to get her out of there.

I am very happy with Weston School systemoverall. My experience with TTMS as a mother has been more than great, the school staff is very supportive and my son loves his school. They have variety of electives and the school has good extracurricular activities.
