Thomas J Watson Sr Elementary School

i'm very happy that my son goes to T.J Watson, it is an excellent school. Has the best teachers, and host of extracurriculum activities( Boy scouts). I wish that all schools were this focus on academics, and family.

Amazing school and after school programs. The school has a brand-new multi-million dollar playground, which overlooks rolling hills of grass and baseball/soccer fields. My two sons thoroughly enjoy their days learning new and exciting material with T.J.'s dedicated teaching staff. Excellent after school art program and karate program. The boys also enjoy the scouting program which meets weekly in the school cafeteria.

Great school - small class sizes, caring teachers. Many useful fundraisers; very open to parent involvement. Various programs for different learning levels. I like being able to eat lunch with my child & help out in class room. More attention needs to be spent on the playground equipment which is very old and unsafe. Overall an excellent elementary school.

TJ Watson is a decent school, but there are 2 major problems. 1. Some of the students are bussed over 7 miles to the school from the east side of town. Secondly, the principal is really strict and can be a litte overbearing. Alos, the amount of play area is smaller than the other schools in the district. TEachers are good though.
