I have always found the staff incredibly helpful and caring towards my children. School is a safe and fun place to go with supportive adults. The PTA is very involved and provide lots of support for the teachers and children in the school. The facilities are decent, albeit crowded. My only complaint is with the limited availability of higher-level books in the library appropriate for 5th grade students. I have had to supplement my children's access to more challenging reading material through the local library. Overall I think Tarhe is a great school, and I wouldn't send my children to any other school in the area.

This really is a great school, and i could not be more happy for my daughter to attend here. Mr. Knight the principal, is so great with the kids and so involved. I love my daughters 2nd grade teacher Mrs. Byas! If you are looking for a grade school in the area where the teacher and parents are equally involved this is the school for you!

I think that Tarhe is a great school. The only thing that bothers me is that there are a couple of teachers that do not dress appropriately for their jobs. It is somewhat hard to tell them from the students.

Academics at Tarhe are excellent. If parents are looking for a school which employs teachers who balance education with instilling confidence and pride in their students, this is your school. My husband and I went back & forth between sending our kids to Tarhe or private (Catholic) school. We are so impressed by the level of academics being taught that we have decided to keep the kids at Tarhe.

Tarhe has been a wonderful school for my daughter! There are very caring teachers and the principle, Mr. Knight is wonderful. He makes learning an exciting experience for the students. My only suggestion would be for the school to have more extracurriculars for the students so that there is something for all students to do that gets them involved. Kudos the the staff for a great year!

This is a great school. The principal works hard to keep all programs running. The teachers are great. The only suggetion I have is to work a little bit on the extra curriclar activities. Other than that I love the school.
