My son has been attending Taylor Elem since he was in 1st grade, in my opinion, Taylor has gone from being a good school to an Excellent School. The new principal, teachers and students have been doing an awesome job. Taylor is a TEA Recognized school and I am PROUD to say my son attends Taylor Elementary.

I'm shocked everyday my child comes home, the school system in this city is embarrassing to say the least. It seems the focus of the MISD is to ensure over 90% of their students are labeled "Hispanic" to get extra funds from the government (I was actually asked to put that my child is Hispanic by the school even though I'm White), and their secondary focus is test scores. There is no real learning going on in these schools, the teachers just shove testing down their throats in order to get high scores and again all so the district can get money. Because of this type of attitude I'm in the process of moving my children into the IDEA Academy to give them an actual education and know they'll make it here in the real world where test scores have no meaning, but knowledge of math, reading & writing are
