Tamaqua El School

My son went to Tamaqua Elem, we sadly moved out of the area due to husbands job. They are very Organized, wonder academics, and amazing teachers. The Principal will get back to you and help with any problem your having. For the uniform it can use some more colors in polo shirts but I think it's easy for parents and makes Tamaqua look professional. Students wore things they shouldn't be wearing to school so the uniforms don't cause distractions. I wish Tamaqua went with mesh instead of Clear because you tend to have to get a new book bag because they don't last long. But I understand the safety with clear. Overall I feel Tamaqua is a great school to be apart of .

My son has a behavioral problem. Rather than working with him he is constantly getting demerits, and being suspended or given detention. The teachers and the school are unable to work with students. A teacher going so far as to tell us she does not have any extra time because her 3rd grade class is too demanding. My son has yet to bring home a grade lower than 90% yet he is constantly accused of not doing his work in class. I can hardly understand how an A student doesn't do any work in class. The school has been dead set on me medicating my child. Every time I say no he suddenly gets in trouble for something outrageous. This will be my son's last year in Tamaqua school district.
