My daughter started the Pre-K program for the 2012-2013 school year and I have been so impressed! At first, she was going to go to Jefferson Elementary but I am so glad they were full and I chose to send her to Talbott. My son however goes to Jefferson Elementary because Talbott doesn't offer the program he needs. Let me tell you... RUN from JE, just take your kids and get as much distance between you and JE as you can! The teachers here seem to always be pleasant and Ms. Hill and her assistants have been awesome. The school never smells gross like it does at JE and the cafeteria isn't nasty and doesn't have that funk smell when you walk in it. Even the teachers wear gloves when they are assisting the younger kids. It's a little bit further than JE from my house but I will gladly drive the distance because it's worth it. Even the new principal, Dr. Sharp, is always nice and smiling and wanting to get to know the students and their parent(s). Friendly atmosphere and inviting.
