Read what parents are saying about Tucker-Capps Elementary SchoolI have been to this school several times during the 2021 to 2023 school years and saw firsthand how much it has fallen. The lower grades are unsupervised. I brought this to the PTA. Teachers in lower grades have kids allover the hallways. The school has kids wonder off playground to parking lots as teachers are on iPhone.
Posted by a community member on 12/12/20232023, my kids attended Mary W Jackson, formerly Tucker Capps... The kindergarten hall to grades 2 was total chaos. I saw kids wandering the halls and some walked outside unattended from grade 5. The principal and african american secretary, along with a pre k teacher, allowed a student to curse loudly as I was there visiting. Many 4th graders were also wandering the playground when I pulled up to park. I dont recommend this school due to safety reasons. I experienced this at least 5 or 6 times I visited. The academics are lacking as the prek and k teachers just babysitted my kids, not teaching. Horrible
Posted by a community member on 12/9/2023This school was great to us. I only wish that COVID never happened so I could feel safer letting my daughter go back. It absolutely broke my heart to pull her out.
Posted by a parent on 9/16/2020My son has been going to Tucker's Capps for the past two years (K-1st grade). His teachers for both of those year were EXCEPTIONAL. They take their time with the students and reward them accordingly while helping with behavior issues. Simply put, I 'LOVES' this school. If you have kids just starting out, this is the school for you!!
Posted by a parent on 8/6/2016The staff does not know how tell the honest truth. They will kick you off any club, or activity you do for the school for the most stupidest things like how they took my child off safety patrol for someone offering candy and she simply said '' yes ''! If your looking for a great experiment don't go to Tucker Capps!

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am perplexed that the school is rated so low based solely on "data". I have had the pleasure of being a part of the Carver Colt school family for 3 years now. Before enrolling 3 of my children at the school, I too relied on reviews found online via Google and GreatSchools.org. I was apprehensive about enrollment due to what I read in the reviews. I am so glad I gave this school a chance. The faculty, staff, and volunteers are wonderful! I had a child in their special needs program for 2 years and it was life-changing (for the better). The teachers care about their students and it's evident in the relationships and the opportunities for the students. From safety patrol to the 5th-grade honor society and more - there are opportunities for students to get involved and learn responsibilities. The school faculty goes above and beyond to create community and partner with outstanding programs like Soundscapes - a nonprofit youth development organization that uses music instruction and performance to develop life skills in students from early childhood to early adulthood. My children have enjoyed their time, teachers, and experiences at Carver, as I have had the peace to send them to school. I hope my review makes a positive difference online for parents who want to know what's happening at the school.Parent Review4w ago - Hilton Elementary School

1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreat staff! The new principal in one year made such a difference! The administrative staff, vice principal, and principal made me feel so welcome to address any issues. They will be truly missed…. 6 grade here we come!!!

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere's been many complaints about this school. Some of the staff has been replaced the assistant principal was let go. But some of the staff that was a part of the problem is still there along with the principal. The staff is very mean they're very mean to the children. They let the children fight the principal does nothing. Which her emails are being intercepted by the new assistant principal. Some of the teachers yell at the students, there's beef and dislike among the staff so you know who already is running it , my two daughters have seen this over the years but not anymore. I'm with drawing them from the school. Their friends also go to the school and know that the staff is very. the lunch lady even told my daughter to clean up her mess on the floor. What a horrible School don't send your kids there many parents have already left already.Parent Review6mo ago - George P Phenix Elementary School
