Taylor Elementary School

My daughter has attended here since kindergarten the staff has always been friendly her teachers do a good job as far as I can tell. I think any issues regarding children being bullied is way blown out of proportion and maybe the parents that keep posting bad reviews need to work on not being helicopter parents as much and maybe need to get there kids to toughen up a little bit. I know it's not fun but at some point your kids will have to grow up and face like real life and not get coddled anymore and at that point all your doing is setting your child up for failure by not giving them a chance to deal with some of life's adversity and conflict that they will inevitably have to face on their own so maybe all the bad reviews here that oddly said the same thing 10 different times that were probably all written by the same helicopter parent should consider not babying your kid quite as much and focus on teaching them to deal with conflict a tad bit better instead of crying and then having you go freak out on someone because you can't deal with your kid having a mark on them.(What does that even mean?) When I was in grade school I came home with marks all over, it wasn't cause It was a bad school it's because I was a rowdy little kid playing with friends on a playgroyund, it could be from running and falling on a gravel playground, or slipping on a monkey bar, or having monkey bar fights and falling off the monkey bars.Or trying to do a flip off the swings and falling as well 8000 other possible instances that would potentially leave a mark on me...even a dodgeball can leave a mark on a child's arm or leg. So I'd take the 1 star reviews posted with a grain of salt as it is pretty obvious the same upset parent has posted multiple bad reviews cause they are upset about not having there kid get babied continuously with no regard to how their kid probably acts when they are not present. Just a thought.But honestly I think this has done a.fine.up to now keep in mind when public.schools are all underfunded teachers are underpaid it doesn't create the best opportunity to create an amazing school experience when the school is understaffed the staff is underpaid the districts leadership is changing constantly so I think they best they can with the resources they have to work with.

A wonderful community! Great teachers, active and engaging with my kiddo. Love the strong Catholic faith and activities. Highly recommend to all families looking for a different school experience.

First, I never give anything 5 stars, because I feel like that's unrealistic and everyone's different.My kids love Corpus Christi. They come home weekly with a manner of the week, and practice it in our house. My child has trouble reading, and the Interventionist is AMAZING. The kids go to Mass daily, the curriculum that is taught aligns with my values as a practicing Catholic (and is challenging!), and I know my kids are safe in the hands of teachers who genuinely love them. The principal communicates weekly through an e-blast and Friday folders that go home with each family. Anytime I've called the school she's been really responsive. The only time she didn't get right back to me was because she was home sick (so, understandable!) Parents are invited to have conferences whenever they feel their child is struggling, and I have never felt that a concern I've had (i.e. kids not getting along at lunch, as will happen sometimes) was ignored. In fact, the teachers and staff have never taken longer than a day to get back to me at all! The teachers are patient, but have high standards for the work the kids do. They really care how my kids are doing academically and (more importantly for me) spiritually. They (my kids) sing songs and recite poems from class all the time in the car and have REQUESTED to pray the rosary on their own. I've never had a question to a teacher or the office go unanswered, and teachers generally get back to you within 24 hours. If they haven't, it was due to a snow day or a long weekend, or something like that. I was especially impressed with my kids teachers during COVID. When my kids missed all that time when we had COVID, the teachers really went above and beyond making sure my kids had their make-up work and I knew how to catch them up at home before they returned. Another reviewer mentioned the gala. I also did not receive a receipt in a timely manner, but I think there was a staff change, so all I had to do was ask I got a reply and a receipt really quickly after that (within 48 hours). The school has a variety of sports programs, chess club, etc. I've been at the school for about 5 years and have absolutely nothing but good things to say. Highly recommend.
