Tillman is probably the worst school I have ever dealt with and especially bad if you have any type of ADHD or Autistic child. They just don't care about your child. They would rather attack and torment your child mentally in order to deem them a dangerous child just to get them removed from their s
Posted by a parent on 1/30/2026I like how the lines of communication through staff and teachers are always on point through dojo. My son does get sick a lot (maybe it's the norm for kindergarten and are really great about calling me if he needs to be picked up or if he got a boo boo at school there's a note sent home in his
Posted by a parent on 1/21/2024This school is horrible! The teachers do not care for the students well being & if your child gets sick at school they make them go back to class without a phone call to the parents to even let you know your child wasn’t feeling good, sick, etc.. They decide how your child is feeling & tell them the
Posted by a parent on 5/18/2022This school is HIGHLY underrated.... Excellent teachers, great leadership, and always "get it".
Posted by a parent on 7/27/2020Tillman has been a wonderful school experience for us. Ms. Massi, Ms. Pletcher, and the entire staff are caring and well trained. Students are able to reach their full potential in Tillman’s environment.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe front office employees are very very rude. They need to provide employees with a training on customer service or just how to talk to parents in general who are concerned about their children. The employee named Monica Sierra Diaz is the worst of them all. When asking questions she snaps back at you and makes you feel uneducated. Students come home from school confused about homework. They take your kids school supplies so when they come home they don’t have any supplies to finish their homework. The teachers don’t engage with students and check on their well being if it’s the first day of school ! If you need to get in touch with someone Monica is the only person who answers the phone. They need to fire the workers in the front in order for this school number to reach 5. I don’t recommend this school. There’s only one security for the whole campus and he’s not even a police officer. I worry about my daughter everydayParent Review9mo ago - Blackburn Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMiracle-workers!My 9th grade daughter went from D/F student with a massive attendance problem to an A/B student who likes to go to school. My all honors classes but bullied 8th grader told us after the first week at Ed Harbor that he hadn't felt this safe at school since Anna Maria Elementary. Smaller classes, fewer classroom changes throughout the day, and dedicated teachers (not burned out!!) are making all the difference in the education of my 2 teens! And a huge difference in our family life. I've never been a fan of school vouchers, as I wanted to support our community public schools. Now I'm grateful that this small private school exists-- and school vouchers are available! Ed Harbor is a blessing!Parent Review1y ago - Hola! Elementary @ Msa
