Tomasita Elementary School

It’s just gross to hear student can’t elope and will not be punished in anyway for hitting teachers or leaving class. Where is the safety when you don’t even teach them to stay in class. Drawing with students after they assault their teachers at 5+ years old is absolutely unacceptable. I think this school doesn’t actually want to support the kids or teachers, just to calm things down for the moment but wonder why results in class are poor and teachers are leaving in hordes

They don’t handle bullying at all and the teachers will not communicate with the parents about the harassment that your child will feel at this so called “school”. My child comes home from school screaming and crying about how mean everyone is. I don’t recommend this school for anyone. No kid should ever have to feel these extreme emotions.

Once high school is a terrible high school, the staff care more about punishing. The kids didn’t actually taking care of them and teaching them. The deans are terrible. The principal was terrible overall it was a terrible experience for me and my kids save yourself trouble and transfer your kids out of the school if you can.

This school is located near the base and technology park, so the scientists that live nearby send their kids here. It is one of the biggest in APS. Great PTA who fundraises the money needed for wonderful events and renovations. Kind staff. Amazing pre-K program. Good diversity of students. Safe environment with strict safety protocols. Doors are always locked. Everything you need in a high quality education and enriching social landscape for your child. The only thing holding a student back from good education at this school is their own parents or home situation. Success seeds start at home, and only grow at school.
