Tayac Elementary School

Worst school ever my child will not be returning

This school truly doesn't provide the best accomodations and support needed for children with special needs. Administration barely even knows the kids, the kids' names, or close to anything about special education. Severe staffing issues in special education due to lack of support from administration and the turnover rate is only increasing more. Funds for special education are definitely not used properly. This school needs a whole separate wing for the special education programs (Regional Autism, Regional M.O.V.E., and CRI) so the students have everything needed for their educational experience to be successful (to include a home suite to learn life skills such as cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry; laundry rooms with laundry machines to wash student clothing if accidents occur; Adaptive PE room with proper equipment; aquatics pool for students to have their aquatics program; classrooms that ALL have bathrooms in them, etc.).

I love this school. I recommend this school to everyone.

It was terrible they don't even care about us

I have an exchange student that attended this school only because of his I-20 Visa requirement to attend a SEVIS school. The education offered here is very poor quality, you are better off keeping your money and placing your children in public school. Many unexpected fees popped up while our exchange student attended, to the tune of more than $12K. Additionally, my exchange student took an ACT exam at this school and they have refused to provide us with his scores after numerous attempts to obtain them via phone calls and emails.

1 out of 10 — A Deeply Flawed Environment for LearningAs a concerned parent, I feel it’s important to speak honestly about our experience at Independent Baptist Academy. Unfortunately, this school has fallen far short of providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for learning.There is a noticeable lack of commitment to students’ academic growth and personal development. The curriculum feels outdated, and there is very little individualized support or encouragement for children to thrive intellectually or socially.Even more troubling is the clear presence of prejudice within the school culture. Not all children are treated equally, and there’s a pattern of favoritism and exclusion that directly contradicts the values of fairness and compassion. Students from diverse backgrounds are often overlooked or marginalized, and the leadership does little to address these issues—even when concerns are raised by families.If you’re looking for a school that genuinely supports every child’s potential and fosters a culture of respect and growth, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere.
