Awful with the exception of the school nurse and three teachers!! Would move my kids to a different school but unfortunately TASD is so terrible that Trice Elementary is the lesser evil

The teachers are not truly concerned with whether or not students are lm learning anything. They refuse to communicate with parents on issues with their children until it is too late and the problem is then out of hand. No true dedication from the staff in general and they do not communicate well at all. They've misplaced children on several occasions (i.e wrong bus routes, etc) and it has not been a good experience for my children. I do not believe that this environment is conducive to them being able to be at their best.

We chose this school for the art smart programs. We are disappointed in a few of them. The general physical education class does the most simple exercises, not much calorie burning there. The general dance class plays the "QUIET GAME" and colors too much. Music class does not have enough singing for every student. What a shame, we all know that music makes you feel better and reduce stress. We have witnessed raised voices and pointing of fingers from teachers at different children many times. This was brought to the appropriate leaders. The front desk is very nice and the custodians have been most helpful with a smile.

This school does have good extra curricular activities, average academics and discipline is actually enforced.

After relocating to a new state and of course a new school district, I am grateful for the strong foundation that the faculty and staff provided for my children at Trice Magnet. My oldest son struggled his kindergarten year and Mrs. Baker was a great part of his success. Despite recommendations to repeat kindergarten, she continued to work with him. The efforts and success of Ms Clary and Ms Wade did not go unnoticed. Ms Clary was a constant help. My other son made it to kindergarten and boy was he in love with Mrs Thane!!! I don't understand why this school is rated only at a 5. They put on 5 star performances and know each student by name whether the students have been in their class or not. The support staff (custodians, cafeteria, and aides) work really hard to keep his campus clean and functional. The PTA is active and functions well, lets not forget Ms Harris and Ms White!!! The principal and vice are welcoming and understand. I appreciate where my kids started. If you have any problems, questions, or concerns, I promise if you just give them a call, they are more than willing to help.

Both my daughter and my son go to Trice. There has been a couple of bumps in the road but, as a parent we all expect the best for our children so, a couple of bumps is expected. I Love this school and have decided to buy a house in this area because the school is that awsome! This is a school where people and teachers really care. Mrs. Harris is the best, a true honest and sweet lady. Mrs. Thane is the most awsome teacher I have ever met. I came from Dallas born and raised where I came incounter with alot of Great Teachers but, this one makes you feel at home.

I will enroll my children in a different school district next year. On numerous occasions I have entered the school and observed a teacher talking down to children in an aggresive voice. Most of the teachers I have had experience with are lazy and incompitent.
