This school is terrible. The teachers will sometimes blame the wrong kids for something they didn't do just because they act up more, then when the friends of that student try to tell the teacher that they are wrong they will not believe them because they are the students friend. We are barely let outside during nice weather then when we are outside and want a break we are not given it. Students get in-trouble for things that are small or something they did not do. Students have gotten after school detentions or lunch detentions because of a hood or headphones that don't have a wire. We can't even have our phones on us and must have them in our locker. If there is an actual lock down for example, we wouldn't be able to tell our parents or loved ones just because we wouldn't have our phone. Sometimes when they take our phones they give it to the office and won't give it back unless a parent or guardian picks it up. I believe that is not fair since they did not pay for the phone and have no right to take it from us if we are just using it in the hallway. The bullying here is insane. Kids are disrespected for the most stupid things then when we say something about it to the school first they barely ever do anything, then when the student gets fed up with the bullying and starts to yell at the people who were bullying them that student gets in-trouble and not the bully. An example of this is when a friend of mine had a terrible ex-boyfriend and the school knew this. I talked to the principal about it and he knew how bad of a person he was towards my friend. The next year they had almost all of their classes together so my friend had her classes changed. That is not ok at all, the school knew of the problem that was happening between them yet they still were placed together. Problems like this have happened before and not just now. I, as a student, do not like going to this school. It's very tiring and I hate being here with every inch of my body. It takes a lot of motivation out of me so when I get home my parents think something is wrong and there is. No matter how hard I try I cannot get through to them that this school is terrible. I would give it 0 stars if I could. There is so much more but this is currently all I can think of that happens here and this is from a student that just happens to hear what happens here and see what happens. Not all the teachers are bad but there are some very bad ones and some of the students are very terrible. I hate it here

This school is the worst, and yet we pay the highest taxes. The students have zero field trips, the administration cancels most activities, the sports fields are disgusting, and extra curricular activities are limited at best. Student behavior is out of control, security guards have been hired, and yet they harass good students, and are friendly with trouble makers. Administration doesn't punish bad behavior, so inappropriate things continue. Students struggle to learn in class due to outbursts from incorrigible students. Instead of removing those students, teachers send work home as homework, making students learn on their own. My children are good students, who are friendly, and always do the right thing. They have been bullied, lost in the chaos, and continued to be disappointed by this school system. This school claims to educate the whole child, and yet they take away many experiences that would help do that.

"T! R!" (as its known to those of us who love it.......) is an excellent school for 3 reasons: 1. A confident, enthusiastic, and communicative Principal who sets the tone for the school, by his leadership. 2. A caring and experienced teaching and non-teaching staff who clearly work together as a team, for the benefit of the students. 3. A teaching staff that has obviously chosen TR as their school of choice. This is reflected in their hard work and dedication. I am a parent of a child at the school; I am also a professional educator with 30 years' experience in the classroom. Keep up the great work!

I feel Great because my school is the best and Great to. I love my school and I want to see my friends in Fourth grade Fourth grade is going to be the best thing ever I hope I will have a great teacher is a very happy with my classmates 100 Stars
