I have worked in seven different school districts in my 20 years of education. This is the best by far! The staff is a family. Colleagues and administration are very supportive of each other and the students. They are committed to teaching students beginning with building character and strong moral citizens. The teachers work hard to learn their content and develop engaging lessons to promote student learning of all students. I am blessed to be part of this team!

Wonderful experience. My child was nervous going to the new school, but it has been her favorite years.

My daughter has not always loved her schools but has loved her time at Travis. She has become a better student and is scoring higher than ever on her state testing. I am very pleased.

My two kids are in 4th grade here and they used to be exceptional students, grade and behavior wise. But now the littlest thing they do they'll get a conduct mark and the teachers just throw papers in front of the kids without explaining how to do them. So now my kids have failing grades and despise school and just want to give up. Also the teachers do get physical with the students when they are not moving fast enough for their expectations and they yell and swear at the kids. This school has ruined my kids spirits and self esteem. I do not recommend this school to anyone and my kids will not be returning to this school next year. Please think of another district to have your kids pursue their education in because this one should not even make it on a rating chart for how horrible it is.

I love Travis Elementary! The teachers and staff go above and beyond expectations. My child loves school, too. You can tell that everyone who works there believes their role is a calling, not a job. My son is in 5th grade and his team of teachers are amazing people!

I have never worked with a greater group of people in my life. I went into teaching because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of children. I love the people that I work with and know that they feel the same way about teaching as I do. They do an exceptional job everyday. Travis is an awesome place to work!

Travis Elementary is the worst school my children have gone to. The physical education teacher's say curse words at the kids. The teacher's and office staff are very rude. Also, my child who has always made good grades on their report cards is now failing. I recommend not sending your child to this school.
