5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe absolutely love Toomer Elementary! The IB curriculum encourages my daughter to think globally and engage deeply with her learning. She’s thriving both academically and socially, and it’s been wonderful to watch her grow in such a supportive environment. The school community is incredibly welcoming and vibrant, from weekly bike buses to events like Screen on the Green and the Race for FATE. We truly can’t imagine a better place for her to learn and flourish.Parent Review1mo ago - Charles R. Drew Charter School
