Our daughter has attended for the last three years and we’ve had nothing but the best experience with her teachers and the school as a whole.
Posted by a parent on 4/10/2024We have had an excellent experience at Thoreau Elem. I have to disagree with people who say they have never seen the principal at events or before/after school. She is outside in the mornings quite often and I love seeing the kids greet her with smiles and hugs. Just the other evening she was blowin
Posted by a parent on 6/4/2016Toxic leadership and a drama infused population sum up this school quite well. It's been a very disappointing experience to have had our child here, and counting the days until we can leave. I've never seen the principal at any event held outside of school hours.
Posted by a parent on 3/26/2015I've had two children attend Thoreau and could not disagree more with the reviewers who called Mrs. Mallon cold. In the many years that I've interacted with her at school events, PTA meetings, volunteering in the classroom, and other activities, she has always been warm, engaged and enthusiastic abo
Posted by a parent on 3/13/2015I am so saddened by what I have read. With three children in the school, I am an active parent at the school and have spent many a day volunteering for this and that.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers from this school favorite the smarter, more “popular” kids. They talk to them in class and ignore the rest of the kids. The staff in the counseling and principal positions hide from parents and avoid confrontation. The staff almost always believes teachers over children no matter what, even with multiple other children confirming. Some teachers will even bully the students they find less favorable and likable, and nothing is done about it, because they won’t believe the children. The bullying among the actual children is awful, and passive.Other Review2y ago - Carl Sandburg Elementary School
