My son is a student at Taylor Elementary starting the 5 th grade this year. He loves going to Taylor and as a parent I have enjoyed all aspects of working with this school concerning his education.

My daughter is in 5th grade at Taylor, she has gone there since Kindergarten. She has always done well. She makes all A's and is very happy. White Hall is a great little town and Taylor is a great place to send your kids.

I have two sons in Taylor. One is in Kindergarten and one is in second grade, but we held him back in Kindergarten and he should be in third. I'm a little dissatisfied with it. My Kindergartener is doing good while my second grader continues to struggle. The teachers seem to only worry about what the children score on the national tests and not about the individual child. The class seems to be set by what the smartest child knows. As soon as they understand the class moves on while the child that doesn't understand just keeps getting farther and farther behind.

My kids have been going to Taylor for three years and we have had a good experience. We do not have a lot of home work and the teacher truly care about the kids and the work they do.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Arkansas used the Benchmark Exam to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in literacy and grades 3 through 8 in math. The Benchmark Exam is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Arkansas. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
