Trailside Point Elementary School

I have two daughters and a nephew who attend this school and they absolutely love it . They work well with student and the teachers are very attentive. My youngest was born after august 31st took the kinder screening test and passed on her first day of school she misses the bus back home. I get a call from the office and explain that I work 23 miles away- turns out the assistant principal gave my daughter a ride home!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT

I have four children at this school and love it. The teachers are great. I volunteer a lot and I wish there was more parental involvement. My children love the school and I feel they are getting a good education. My oldest went from a below average student and needing resources to a honor roll student and doing great.

I have a child that needs extra resources to help him learn. This school has bent over backwards to help him. The teaching staff has improved year over year and this year my son has started excelling in school.

I have 4 children in the district and they are great. Not perfect but they are responsive and supportive to kids and parents. The district is available anytime there were issues and have been an active participant in strengthening our community.

The adminstration at this school is awful. They don't keep parents informed on what is going on with their children. This school has not changed in the three years it has been open as some of these reviews have indicated.

What a wonderful place to have my kinder son attend. The school gives a feeling of community, family and safty. The staff and teachers actually know the student's and recognize them, parents and realitives. It's awsome to know that my son is not just a 'student' that attends there.

This is our 3rd school year at Trailside Point and things just keeping getting better. I see teachers and administrators that really care about the kids. They are a Performing Plus school this year and that mixed with all the extracurricular activities that are offered now really make it a great school that is focused on developing the whole person.

The school has made a huge change from 2 years ago. The test scores are up and discipline issues are down. Trailside is currently a Performing Plus school.

I would give this school only a one star rating. Disciplining the upper grade level students was a continual issue for me. My eighth grader, normally an A+, outgoing student, became withdrawn and quiet. He finally said the continual climate in the classrooms was total disrespect for the teachers and learning was difficult in this kind of environment. He begged me to take him out of there, which I did in the fall of 2008. Did I let the Principal and Asst. Principal know of the problems in the classrooms? Yes, but I think because they are so young and inexperienced, they do not know how to handle the discipline problems and lack of respect from so many of the upper grade level students. If you have a child that is an overachiever - be very involved and listen to your child.

I was an 8th grade student at trailside last year. Overall it's the best school I have been too. The teachers relate to the student and are very helpful. The staff is kind and are there if anyone needs help. I loved it there and I had a great experience there!
