Tollgate Elementary School

Tollgate is an exceptional option if your local to the Aurora area! My daughter loves her school and all the staff!

This is a great school. I wish we found tollgate earlier. They are great with children on IEPs and they actually care about their students. They restored my faith in the APS schools system as the school we came from was terrible. My child lost a lot of confidence as a result. Tollgate restored that confidence. Bottom line, Tollgate is an amazing school with a great sense of community.

ok because i was a student for 4 years and when bullying they will say to talk with the person first but overall it was bad

This school itself is really nice, however, the administration is absolutely terrible. The principal, Laurie Godwin, is one of the rudest and unethical people I have ever encountered. From what I've heard, she treats her teachers very badly. So badly in fact that Tollgate has one of the highest consistent percentages of teachers who leave each year. I have a friend who works there and said about 30% of the staff left, mainly due to the administration. I used to have a child attend the school, but had such a bad experience with the administration that I took her out and enrolled her at another school. Great teachers, but awful admin.

This is a great school that helps kids learn in exciting ways. There are a lot of children at this school because there are a lot of apartments. The people who complain about the principal are probably the parents whose kids cause problems. I'm at the school often and I see what the office staff and principal have to put up with. Parents need to control their kids behavior and not expect this school to do everything. The person who said the principal runs a tight ship is right! She has done so much for our school and community. The new building happened because of her and now kids don't have to be unsafe in mobiles. Great job Mrs Godwin and all the teachers you hire are good to.
