Both of our sons have attended Thurgood Marshall and both have had very positive experiences. Wonderful/supportive teachers and I can't say enough positive things about our principal Ms. May. She is so positive in her attitude and extremely thorough in her communications. For the rare cases where issues have popped up, she responded quickly and effectively to address the problem.

We have had a great experience with Thurgood Marshall. The teachers are awesome, the principal is superb, and the kids get so many opportunities to participate it a strong community.

This school was a disaster. My kid was beat up regularly as a 5 year old. The administration did their best to talk me out of filling a protective plan order with the district, which came back saying it was necessary. The school then proceeded to ignore the protection directives. My child's only interest while at this school was learning to fight because they were threatened constantly.

It’s overall been a huge disappointment and I am scared for my kids everyday. The school used to be good and things have gotten completely out of control. They need new leadership and a principal who actually does something about problem students. There policies do not protect victims, they protect bullies. Do not send your kids here if you can help it.

Great community. Split focus between emotional regulation and academic subjects is clear. We love our classroom teacher as she balances classroom learning with wiggle activities, cool art and free choice options as well as yoga. New librarian is a rockstar and made so many awesome changes benefiting students.
