We have a tremendous experience at this school. Some have been the best time of my child's early life. Some have been not so pleasant with some of the teachers who are no longer at the school just with bad attitudes. But over all love the school and the people there and would recommend it to anyone.

This school is excellent. The principal is the best I've seen. The teachers are very caring and helpful. The school is more like a little family. I feel like my daughter is well cared for there. I don't like the lunch room though. Bad food and they seem to mismanage money.

I am not impressed with this school at all. The teachers do not communicate well with the parents , the principal does not care about your concerns. If your child has no problems doibg the work on their own, etc then this is a goof school for them. If your child needs additional help then they will be left behind! The principal will use your aurhoritive position to try and bully you and your child if there are problems.

this is an amazing school. I started going to tioga elementary in second grade and I made friends on the first day.All the teachers are nice as well as the students and I struggled but they helped me and I can say I am doing way better. Tioga Elementary is a very good school.

This year is challenging for my son. We moved to a new city and he has to make new friends. Making new friends is not something he is good at. He struggles to relate to children his own age. The school has expressed their concern for this matter. A bigger concern is the fact that he is bored in class and the teacher has not made an effort to teach him on his level. I provided the school with information on my child's abilities before school started, but it was obvious that they never read anything I had given them. He is still getting basic math and reading work. He is capable of 4th grade math and 5th or 6th grade reading. I'm very disappointed in the academics thus far. I had heard better things than what we are experiencing. My son is also having problems in PE. He comes home with new injuries weekly and tells me the coach doesn't care about him getting injured. I spoke to the Principal about it, but she didn't seem too concerned. Her thoughts were that the injuries are happening on the playground. If that was really the case, my son would tell me so. He has no problem speaking out when he is hurt and always tells me what is wrong. I'm very disappointed.

I have never in my life dealt with so much nonsense in such a short period of time. In trying to be a proactive parent involved with my 4th graders education and looking out for his best interests, I have encountered little more than rudeness. My 4th grader did not pass his courses. He did not pass the LEAP test. My husband and I both felt that repeating 4th grade may be what was best for him, as he clearly did not know the material well enough to enter 5th grade with a strong foundation. We meant only to do what was best for him. When I expressed this to his teacher on the phone, she got sarcastic with me and hung up in my face. Meanwhile the principal was on the phone to my mother, who has no involvement in making these decisions, trying to convince her that -we- were messing everything up. Fast forward to now. We agreed to send him to summer school because they would not drop it. We waited and waited for a phone call to let us know what time the bus would pick him up, and it never came. I called, and they said we'd find out on the first day of summer school. No one has yet bothered to give us this information.

I have never seen a school put more priorty on cheerleading then on acadamics. My daughter is in the fourth grade and instead of giving them a good foundation to grow on they are teaching the leap and ohio test. Not teaching them how to use math formulas but to memorize math. Such as Mutiplication tables. I have to say that if a child is not required to show his or her work in math then how are the teachers going to know where they need help.
