I will say I do love this school and I love that my children are learning and progressing but my only issue is that in the morning when I drop my kids off and I'm leaving to exit from the kindergarten drop off onto Road one East there is multiple Vehicles trying to come in through the exit and I've had to back up or find another way to get out, it is a danger and against the law, they need to follow the rules just like everybody else, it is a very good school but traffic laws need to be followed, please do something about this, I just don't want any accidents or unnecessary traffic jams

Very happy with the school so far! I love that TECC is k-2nd grade because it helps keep the kids younger (more innocent) for longer. My child is only in kindergarten but I feel like the principal and teachers genuinely care about my kid and his success in his educational journey. The staff has been very pleasant and my kid feels loved and supported by the teachers he interacts with.

Principal is kind however staff leave a lot to be desired. Classroom management skills are very minimal if present at all. It seems from several families I have spoke with and myself included they do the bare minimum and blame the children for any issues due to a lack of engagement and teaching skills. When concerns are presented the “solutions” are sadly laughable. Requested how to assist my 1st grader with handwriting was told to give them a shorter pencil (not a solution). After working with my child during at home learning as should be done during class time at this age, they improved tremendously within a week and with a normal pencil I may add. This demonstrated the lack of attention provided to key areas for this age group. The class average spelling score was a low C-. When asked how to address this, was told they would staple the test so the grade was not visible ( not a solution). Despite the class as a whole doing poorly, nothing is being done about it which is unacceptable. Please explore other options, during this time a child’s opinions and beliefs about themselves and schooling are being formed and this is not an environment that is conducive to building confidence or skills.

The teachers and principle are fantastic. They are always positive and upbeat. My child really enjoys going to school here and sometimes doesn't want to leave. The whole staff seems to know all the kids names and is very enthusiastic to be there at school with them everyday, and is always encouraging them.

Territorial is all kindergarten now. My son goes there. He loves it and so do I. They are cream of the crop among public schools. The children are well cared for and the staff is enthusiastic about everything they do. We feel lucky to have this set-up for our kid here in Chino. We love it.

I love Territorial, and I'll be sad when my son graduates and leaves the teachers and staff behind. Whenever I visit during school hours, I always see the principal out and about doing something, and she seems to know all of the kids' names. The teachers and staff are very friendly and really do go above and beyond for the kids.

I am far from impressed with this school, Period. They have misplaced my child on five different occasions two of them sending her out to paulden. My child has had her school supplies destroyed on multiple occasions, and all I have ever gotten from the staff is a half sincere apology and excuses as to why the teacher was not paying attention to the class. They never have replaced anything nor even offer to replace said destroyed items which, sorry it might be a little harsh but I feel they should do. It is their job to pay attention. The first year was not bad by any means she liked her teacher and progressed at a good rate. The second year...Yeah not so much and the third year we will have to see but I am not going to hold my breath.Funding issues or not, If parents are asked to help out with school supplies the school should be appreciative and help protect the investment. I think at this current point in time I would rather, If need be see the elementary schools merge and have multiple teachers per class. I was brought up school-wise in classes about the same size (that is keeping the above opinion in mind) with many days having a a secondary/assistant teacher, I aced every year
