Read what parents are saying about Mark Twain Elementary SchoolIt is important to understand that Twain's low rating is most likely based on test scores alone. Test scores can be misleading. Twain has a diverse student body, and a wonderful, supporting atmosphere. It is a striving and thriving community, and if you are looking for a school for your child where every teacher will do their best to help your kid as an individual and make sure they perform to the best of their ability, then go to Twain. Go Tigers! (Twain also won "Best Float" at last year's City High Homecoming Parade - because we have students, teachers, and parents that care and support their school wholeheartedly!)
Posted by a parent on 9/1/2014Mark Twain is a great school. My children attend and look forward to going to school everyday. The staff is always caring and willing to listen. Go Mark Twain Tigers!!!!!!!
Posted by a parent on 8/1/2013My daughter has excelled at Mark Twain Elementary and has every opportunity available to her. Her peers are diverse, the teachers are excellent, leadership is phenomenal. My daughter struggled with a subject and her teacher found different ways to teach it and for her to learn. She loves going to school and gets upset she can't on snow days. We love this school and wouldn't leave it for anything.
Posted by a parent on 3/5/2013This the best elementary school in Iowa City. Don't let the rating fool you. Come to the school and find out yourself.
Posted by a parent on 3/4/2013Phenomenal teachers and a diverse student body. My son is a very, very young Kindergartner and already, a few months into his experience at Twain, he's reading books on his own, adding and subtracting, and meeting so many friends from different backgrounds. Most important: He's in love with learning and looks forward to school every day. We've had a great experience so far.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMr. Pisarik is the most amazingly magnificent principle. The way he shows empathy to each student and how he embraces each student is amazing. He has the ability to make each student feels unique and special. His warm smile and everyday greeting and salutes to the kids. Mr.P makes Shimek my kids’ second home. My kids grow, thrive and academically, they were amongst the best students. Also, Mr. More who taught my kid in 6th grade, Mrs. Montrose second grade teacher, the best, she has a warm heart as big as Victoria lake. She is so sweet, so genuine and very understanding. Mrs. Schneider, third grade teacher, she made my kid a beast on math, science and reading. My kids stayed 4 years in Shimek. One of the best 4 years of our life. Always grateful!Parent Review2y ago - Ernest Horn Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOverall I feel that this school is great if you have a child without any disabilities, and is academically in the middle or higher. If you have academic deficits or learning disabilities that require additional supports look elsewhere.Parent Review5y ago - Herbert Hoover Elementary School
