John Tartan Elementary School

This school had a bunch of potential going down to the buildings and schedules but when it comes to what staff they hire they fail this year I had a teacher that didn’t even teach us science and was mainly calling the office instead of teaching us Last year in 4th I had a teacher that took kids stuff but when she really drew the line is when she took my USED lipgloss and gave it to another kid to haveI have no complaints to my 3rd grade teacher he was amazing But as a student that’s been here since 3rd grade the only fun and nice year I’ve had was 3rd

My son loves this school and we had a great experience but I have to say that they are overly strict about attendance in which other schools are not even if a child is having mental health issues. I feel like all they do is worry about the kids there or not. Whether then if the kid's not there for a certain reason, they'd like to show up at your house unannounced if your kid even misses a bit of school even when you're working with them. I think it's ridiculous. The school is not rated high for a reason. That being said, seeing a counselor is close to Impossible if your kid needs it. They need a lot of work.

This school says they dont tolerate bullying but nothing changed after a reported incident. Also, I have not had any communication with my child's teacher about their progress or where they are. My child has a different everyday about something that happens. Teachers are rude, kids take from other kids lunches and nothing is done. Teacher just says they are not present so they cant address it. It has been very disappointing and I would not recommend this school if you can avoid it. Also, they changed morning drop off for this school year so the street gets cluttered and nobody follows the laws. Admin just sends email reminders about etiquette but no enforcement on the street or visibility.
