My kids are constantly bullied and the new principal who started back in 2023 her kids go there and are also bullies and she hides everything. Today on October 24th 2024 my daughter was held down from a male student and punched her on bus. The principal didn't suspend him nor contacted her father or myself. She sweeps everything under the rug and hides all the things that's happening to the students. Bans parents from school who's kids are being bullied and getting jumped on.

I went here and when I was getting bullied and when I fought with self defense I got suspended for 10 days and the bully only got 1 day so that’s why I’m giving 1 out of 5 stars .

Just home school your kids if they have to go here. It's a much better option. If they replace the principal with someone that cares then it could change. He one they have now only care about how she looks towards the board.

They only care about ec students, the principal is a control freak who should work with high school NOT elementary

The experience at this school rates the lowest of any school I have ever sent my children to, or taught at.

I had 2of my four children attend Tryon Elementary School, it is one of the best schools any of my children have ever attended. The school is very clean, and everyone is so nice from the office to the custodian, lunchroom and teachers. We had awesome years at Tryon and still keep in touch with past teachers. I was sad to see the day we had to leave to go on to Middle School. My husband was in the military at one time so we have been to numerous schools, glad we ended up here at Tryon Elementary.

My son attends Tryon Elementary School. There is great communication from the school. We get weekly phone messages from the principal and more often if needed. The school counselor sends phone messages as well. There are always notes coming home in the book bags. School newsletters and class newsletters come come as well. I always know what is going on as long as I look in my son's bookbag !! The teachers seem to like it here and that is a positive note.

My daughter got a great education if you consider grate making kids do just the minimum to get by. She was completely unchallenged by the school ciriculum. What made this worse was she was an all A student and we raised her to speak up when she saw things that were wrong. This resulted in a great deal of bullying for her. I attempted to meet with the principle on several occaisions and while he is a nice person, I think he is very comfortable with the position and tries very hard to not make waves that may get noticed. In 5 years my daughter went through 4 years of bullying, all of which was reported to the school, but resulted in no actions against the ones doing the bullying. She has since moved on to higher grades levels from Tryon, but I would strongly suggest considering other options before settling in this school district.

My step-son goes to this school and has shown great improvements from this school compared to the previous school he had attended.
