Read what parents are saying about TrumanI have multiple children here and they enjoy the experience. Great teachers, an awesome principal, and really good extra curricular options.
Posted by a parent on 3/11/2023This is a great school. So much has changed over the years. The teachers are involved and there isnt alot of bullying going on. Academics is challenging seems school work is getting more advanced. We just recently moved into the area and the reviews were bad. But I enrolled my kids here anyways because it was close to home. My kids love it here. The facility are nice and updated. My kids say they love the after school activities and it's close to the bus line.
Posted by a parent on 8/8/2021There is a huge bullying and harassment problem at this school. Bullying and harassment among students is not uncommon, but teachers also harass students. I find there to be an appalling lack of professionalism with some teachers. There is a lack of academic rigor in this school. Students are not challenged to do their best. Some teachers do not even teach to the state standards. We will be leaving this school and are not unhappy about our decision. My child has not had a stellar experience at this school. It is pretty dreadful.
Posted by a parent on 6/10/2017My 6th grader daughter has liked her first year at Truman. Her teachers are all really nice and she has enjoyed being in the after school drama club. So far my daughter and I have had a positive experience at this school so I don't really understand the negative reviews.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy granddaughter is in kindergarten and is bullied by other students on a regular basis and also by a substitute teacher. I’ve noticed a big difference in her self esteem and she now does not want to go to school. The learning environment is negative, unstructured, and mixed messaging is confusing to her.Other Review4mo ago - Jefferson

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son attended kindergarten at Skyline for a year. We had a great experience. The teachers and principal are great communicators. He left kindergarten reading, writing full complete sentences, and his math was at first grade level.Parent Review1y ago - Washington-Hoyt
