Town & Country Elementary School

The teachers are great but dealing with an overcrowding issue that puts the education of all at risk. Most of their time is spent disciplining the unruly kids while the rest of the class has to "wait it out." The issues are with the administrative side of the house - unorganized, unprofessional and their rapport with the students is virtually non existent. The principal was uninterested in corralling her staff or making contact with student's families. The chain link fence surrounding the office area makes the school look like a detention center. The facilities are so run down, I'm not sure how they have passed any kind of inspection. Don't look for communication from anyone at this school - you will have to be persistent in getting them to discuss your student with you.

My children went to this school a couple of years ago. They were pulled out and put in another school mid quarter because of issues with a teacher and a principal unwilling to help the situation. This is still not the worse school in town.

A great school. The principal and the administrative personal are very kinds. My son went to the special preeschool and the teachers are awesome!! They really cared about my child and his needs. The program was exactly what he need it. Im really satisfied with the school.

Town and Country was a major disappointment. The classrooms are crowded, with discipline problems. The teachers try, but with the overcrowding and lack of parent involvement, their hands are somewhat tied. The principal seems overwhelmed, but tries. The school is dreary, but it is maintained to the minimal standards. Our children scored top marks, but that is no indication of a good education. This school is suffering from the same problems of all the schools in this area (to include the charter schools), so it really can't be singled out. More money doesn't always mean a better education, but it was very apparent that schools are not a priority in the community. If you want a quality education, there are a couple of good schools in Tucson. The commute may be long, but it will be worth it if you really need to work in Sierra Vista.

I love this school! The PTO hosts a family day each month. The teachers are friendly, and the Character Counts program is really impressive. My only complaint would be that I have offered to volunteer at the school many times, and have never been invited to help out. Also, my child's teacher is nice, but sadly doesn't challenge my child. We are forced to supplement at home.
