Temple Elementary School

My grandchildren began school here last year. The staff from Miss Terry on down to our wonderful secretary was awesome! They are caring people. The teachers were great and let me in on all that was going on with the children. My granddaughter reads so well and going into 1st this year. My grandson who is ADHD was able to comprehend math better by the end of the year. I just love these people! The lunches were good too I might add!

My children have been at Temple Elementary for a couple of years now. My first impression of the school was not great, but I quickly realized I was judging it based on the exterior. It is an older school, but inside is very clean, bright and cheerful.Our experience with the teachers, office staff and administrators has been great. The only area of complaint I have is the cafeteria and school food. I am horrified what they are feeding these kids. I have seen a lunch consist of pancakes (carb), hashbrowns (carb), biscuit (carb), orange juice and a gogurt sleeve. And we wonder why childhood obesity is on the rise? I wonder if the food is so junky because we are in a lower socioeconomic area? Regardless, something drastic needs to be done about the school lunches. Please provide better for our children! Overall, a great school.

A school is only as good as the persons who care about it. It starts with the Principal and goes all the way to the parents. You don't have to have a child at a school to be a volunteer. There are many things that require adult supervision. My grands love it because they feel someone cares. Don't be afraid to ask what you can do to help out. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I have only good things to say about this school. Every teacher that Ive seen or heard about at this school is excellent. The only reason I didnt give this school a five star rating is due to the fact that every school has room for improvment. This school is great and my kids have all loved it!

I am very pleased with the overall education that my children are receiving from Temple Elem. The teachers and other staff have what it takes to do the job!

This school has improved in many ways this year. They have bent over backwards to offer parent assisted programs (banking assistance; they even have a parenting center full of resources for parents. (This rarely gets used by some of the whining parents that want to use Great Schools to vent because they are not getting their way!!) TES has added fine arts nights, a Jr. Beta Club, PTO movie nights, etc. My son is in K, and he has learned a lot this year. I look forward to him having many of the talented teachers that they have at TES. (They have great female and male teachers.) If a parent does not like how a CRCT question from a review packet is worded, he should contact the STATE board of education and not slam a teacher at TES.

i agree with the parent who wrote on Feb 9th my child has brought homework home and and I have found in some the the readind that the answer she was expected to give to a multiple choice question wasnt even there or it was worded wrong. How is a child supposed to learn if the assignmens given have such obvious flaws.

I believe this school really cares for the children and work hard to give them the best education they can. They seem to be good with parent teacher communication. I was told I was welcome in the class room at anytime.
