Tuscany Hills Elementary School

THES is a fantastic school. The office staff, Principal Marks and the teachers are the best around. There is a reason why this school has the highest API in all of Riverside county and it is because of the dedication and encouragement of the staff, the amount of parent involvement, and most importantly the hard work of all the students. This school has such a fantastic energy to it and there are so many extra activities that the children get to enjoy year round. Thank you PTA, parent volunteers, support staff, teachers, and Principal Marks!

The school is pretty good, high API score and our daughter is doing well. I would give the school a score of 8.5 to 9.0. I'm very disappointed with the District though, particularly the Superintendent in not standing up to the City regarding a proposed cell tower to be installed within feet of the school playground. Hopefully, he'll grow a spine and do the right thing before it's too late. Also, the PTA has proven useless as they're controlled by the District....definitely NOT a Parent Association.

I agree! This school should rank a 10! The kids have earned the highest API in all of Riverside County. You can feel the positive energy at this school. Our girls love this school!! Go Coyotes!!

Why does Tuscany Hills have a ranking of 9 when it has the highest test scores in all of South Riverside County? We deserve a 10!

New to this district and we are already really disappointed. In comparision we notice; poor supervision and division during recess times, very poor communication when trying to resolve concerns with principal (he is NOT willing to listen, you are given a SOP rundown and a shoo out the door) , no extra curricular activities, overall there seems to be an abundance of negative behavior and bullying among the children starting even in younger grades! I think this is due to there not being a program in place like other districts already have, teaching these children appropriate behaviors and how to deal with these new social situations. Really bummed out. Would love to hear any advice on where to go with our concerns.

We have had two of our children attend Tuscany. It has been a great experience excellent teaching and an excellent PTA. The school has many events that include parents, donuts with dad, mom son bingo, daddy daughter dance, and ice cream socials. It is a family oriented school everyone knows each other. The only negative tons of home work, great test scores though. The school deserves a 10!

It's only the second week of school for my kindergartner and so far I am not impressed! Internal communication is lacking. I learned more about the principal's family at the kinder-tissue than I needed to know, and information about what to expect on the first day was non-exsistant. We were lost on campus and no-one could tell us where to be. It was utter chaos. The teachers dress code is too relaxed (exposed tattoos) they don't all look like professionals who command the respect of their students. Some are dressed like they are going to the grocery store. If it were'nt for the name tags that we eventually noticed, we would not have known who the teachers were. Overall, I am nervous about this school.

Tuscany Hills is an amazing school! The teachers work so hard! They have done an amazing job with my kids! They are also very friendly and approachable. The school sets high expectations, but that's a good thing! That's why they do so well! I feel so lucky that my kids got to go to Tuscany! It's the best school around! Their scores are off the charts!

I Agree, Tuscany Hills Elementary School is an example of what all our schools should be. The staff is professional, skilled, and caring. I couldn't be more happy of the education my grandchildren received at this school.
