This is a great school and great teachers. My son never liked math until he was in 6th grade. The teacher was wonderful and took time out to help students before and after school. This teacher inspired my son to be successful in a subject he really struggled in. Now that he is in 8th grade and is talking about being a math teacher. His love for math is an example of dedicated teacher willing to go the extra mile.
TMS may or may not be a great school if you have a typically-developing child, but it is absolutely not a great school if you have a child with a disability. IEPs and especially behavior plans have been ignored. The staff doesn't use current research-based methods - most special educators are older and not skilled in including children with special needs in regular education classes. My child's reading and math skills deteriorated at this school. The elementary schools were wonderful. The middle school is a disappointment.
I have to say, this was my first involvement in Middle school. The teachers are great, helpful and very caring. The administration has been a blessing in helping me guide my child. I love it how the grades are semi-separated to prevent the 6th graders from getting bullied by the older grads. This seems to help them acclimate from grade school to middle school.
This is an outstanding school in a fantastic community! Teachers and administators are easy to work with and communication is great. The curriculum is fun and challenging, and prepares the kids well as they transition to High School.
This is one of the best schools EVER, In my opinion. As a student for all my School Life I really Like TMS And I think that if you want to find a great school for your child to go to choose this one!
