My son has attended this school since K. Grade 4th I noticed issues with my son. They have ignored my concerns, took away his help for math and language away, which I denied. Now they are trying to push up to 6th grade when he is performing at a 2nd 3rd grade level. My advice, make sure you record a
Posted by a parent on 5/11/2026This school deserves a 10/10. They are everything that you could hope to have in an elementary school. They staff is quick to address bullying, help children who are struggling, and never stop helping get children excited about learning. I really think the older reviews are so unfair on here because
Posted by a parent on 5/2/2018Several of the teachers are very good to excellent, with excellent subject knowledge, a high ability to convey understanding, empathy, and character. And some of the teachers are not a good fit for the profession. Michael T. has the same problem nearly every school I have seen near I-5 from Canada t
Posted by a parent on 10/3/2017I love Michael T. I grew up, and eventually taught in a district north of Tumwater and really didn't know what another district would or could offer. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to enroll my child at Michael T, as the opportunities to grow academically, socially and through multipl
Posted by a parent on 8/5/2016My 3 children have gone here, and we've loved every teacher they've had. It is a very large school, but it doesn't feel that way. One of my children had academic problems before moving to this school, and at MTS they helped him solve all of his problems!

We want to move to have a larger lot but I’m really struggling with the idea of moving my child from this school.Parent Review1y ago - Peter G Schmidt Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school will cater towards the bottom 10% of students and does not prioritize student learning. The principal is ineffective at providing consequences to students who are causing extreme disturbances in the classroom, often rewarding bad behavior. The Special Ed resources for students are extremely ineffective, they would rather exit a student from the program than provide the resources that will enable students to be successful. Some of the teachers are absolutely atrocious without any repercussions.Parent Review9mo ago - Sunrise Beach School
