Please do not send your children here if they have any special needs or are neurodiverse. The district is cutting every corner, and you will need to advocate for what other districts will happily offer. There are wide-spread bullying issues starting in middle school and the facilities are a joke. Fo
Posted by a parent on 9/21/2025I have to agree with the review posted in May 2014. Tuscan has a mostly excellent teaching staff (you have to do your homework on getting the best teacher for your child), diverse student body and active community of parents. Unfortunately, Principal Majeed sets a poor tone and example for the staff
Posted by a parent on 5/30/2014Tuscan has a mostly excellent teaching staff, diverse student body and active community of parents. The PTA is incredible (hello, Tuscan Show!). Unfortunately, Principal Majeed is so unpopular that it creates a toxic, bureaucratic environment. The school was the subject of a news reporter's investig
Posted by a parent on 5/4/2014Tuscan is a wonderful school filled with caring, dedicated teachers. The atmosphere is one of respect and a thirst for learning. The ROAR (Respect Others Act Responsibly) program instills the best of the human spirit. The parent community is involved and supportive. A great place to learn and grow.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTeachers are absolutely great! My kid has been attending for three years and loves every single teacher there. The school pays great attention in developing character and leadership through various opportunities during and after school. PTO is very supportive and provides many opportunities for parents to be involved in the community.Parent Review4y ago - Mount Vernon Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI recently graduated from this school, and my experience was HORRIBLE. I attended that school since Kindergarten, and I always had to deal with rude students, rude teachers, and rude staff. Not to mention, one of the ELA teachers treated me like she had something against me. For example, throughout most of my 8th grade year, she NEVER said my name. I absolutely HATED going here and so will your children. I could go all day talking about how bad this school is. Like oh my GOD, the amount of built up anger I had while walking through those hallways. OH, and there is more! The teachers pick favorites, and they make no effort to hide it. The principal seemed to have something against me as well. There is still so much I could say, I am so glad that I graduated. FINALLY. And the school is dirty! They have rats and roaches!Other Review9mo ago - Franklin Elementary School
