Read what parents are saying about Taylor (Edward R.) Elementary SchoolMy son loves ER Taylor. He is now in 5th grade and has been attending since Kindergarten. He loved all his teachers and spoke highly of them. We are especially impressed with his State test results. They helped him prepare throughout the years and his score exceeded standard for language/arts/literacy and mathematics. The principal(s), nurse and all staff are great. My younger son is starting kindergarten this year and he has special needs. He attended summer school and seemed to adapt fairly well. I have nothing but love for this school. We are very happy to get placed here.
Posted by a parent on 8/16/2022No privacy towards individual student's development. One particular teacher I have encountered in the past seems to have no filter in her mouth. If the child is having trouble in class; whether it be academically or behavioral, please take the parent in a private meeting. Instead of discussing it in front of other parents, Especially those who LOVE "to gossip". Another teacher my child had was firm. That's great to get some order in the class, but if my child wishes to wear her sweater on a warm day so be it. Who is she to tell her in front of the whole class to take it off because it's a hot day and she should already know that instead of the teacher pointing it out? I wish my daughter had told me this when it happened. Also as previous comments the higher the grade level these children get into the less communication there is from the teachers. When it comes down to parent teacher conferences is the only time I found out my child needed help in certain areas. Let me know ahead of time so that I can help them, instead of the, "they are fine" line when I ask. Overall, this school could be better with teacher communication adjustments, privacy, and showing children to respect one another. Well that also has to come from teachers towards the students. The principal was new this year, so don't know much about her since she was pretty distant.
Posted by a parent on 6/20/2016This school has not been the same since the former principal retired a few years ago. Things aren't very organized and parents always hear things last minute. I have 2 children who graduated from there, and one at the school now, and I can see the difference. Luckily my daughter will be graduating. The Special Ed teachers do not seem to be servicing the students as needed. They like to send an another adult aide to help with my child. This new principal Dr. Barbara Berman has absolutely no connection to students, teachers nor parents. She is very stand offish and doesn't seem to know much about students learning and academics. I am so happy my daughter is graduating this year. Please bring back Mrs. Dold!!!!!
Posted by a parent on 5/18/2016I loved this school! I graduated in 2011 and Ms.Dold was a great principal. Everyone there supported me and although our school did not have much of a budget, the teachers and principals somehow made it work. It was the best 6 years I could ask for.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAll the teachers favored kids who exceeded and neglected other students. In middle school, everything was old my locker was rusted, and it was not in good condition. We had a period called flex which was free time, but a homeroom teacher just kept us in to do other stuff instead of giving us freedom. They also force religion on you, and it gets really annoying. We did not talk about real-world topics like racism, sexism, colorism, exploring sexualities, homophobia, transphobia, and other topics. Since they did not like to talk about those things, most students grew up very close-minded and very judgy. Most students mocked George Floyd's death, showed transphobia to other students, and made racist jokes about students that are of a different race. The teaching quality was terrible, a certain teacher taught too fast and when we gave her feedback, she changed nothing. The students also were influenced badly and were really rude. They were not accepting of other students, and they liked to gaslight and bully other students (past experience). also, people are just fake there! Kids with special needs were treated really badly and faced ableism. There was one kid with ADHD who had trouble focusing in class so people mocked him and said he was faking ADHD and said some other things about him which I will not state. In general, DO NOT COME TO THIS SCHOOL YOU WILL LITERALLY FACE SO MUCH TRAUMA LIKE THIS IS NOT GOOD.Parent Review1y ago - San Francisco School, The
