Travis Elementary School

Posted February 1, 2008

I feel that Travis is not a very good school. I beleive that 'Not students left behind' is not what the school is about. I think the school tends to forget about the students, and the leader of the school tends to forget why she is there. I can't wait to move out of the district!

Travis was orgionally a 3rd-5th grade school and the teachers are more suited to those grade levels. I find they lack the patience with kinder and 2nd grade students and do not tailor punishments to fit the crime nor the age of the child. Look into getting some younger teachers travis and maybe your younger students would thrive some one with more patience is truly needed. Perhaps someone who is not biding their last few years til retirement.

Travis has many excellent teachers, but is housed in a dilapidated old school. District plans to update the facility in 2005-06.

I've had three children attend Travis and have been very happy. The positives are that the teachers/administration have been there a long time, and the principal, Deborah McCullough, is excellent at recruiting intelligent, caring teachers. I've been happy with all we've had there. The school has a gifted and talented program, and a music program, but the time the kids get to spend in these is pretty limited. But, all of my kids teachers have done extra things for my kids to help challenge them. Of course what they can do is limited because of the attention that must be given the entire class. Unfortunately, Travis is ranked rather low economically - (I'd read that 95% of the students are on the free-lunch program) which I think has a direct connection with parent involvement, eventhough it is encouraged and applauded, most have to work and can't be involved.
