I think this is a fantastic school and I couldn't pick a more fabulous place for my children to attend. The teachers enjoy their jobs, the students enjoy learning and the parents are welcome at any time.

Tarver-Rendon has met all of my expectations for a public school. My son attended private school prior to transferring and he seems just as challenged and engaged at TR as he ever was before. Parents play a very large roll in the success of their students education. TR welcomes your involvement and will take great care of your elementary students!

I am an aunt of a student there and I am appauled at some of the choices this school makes. There is not a single rule that they don't bend if they WANT to. They make exceptions to the rules if you are the lucky one. There is one teacher there that I believe that has done enough time in a classroom and needs to give it up. This is a new group of youngsters and she has old style rules. And don't get on her bad side because she will make that childs life a living _________. That is not what I would call a seasoned well trained teacher. Just a grumpy lady and just doesn't understand her students.

I have been very impressed with Tarver-Rendon. This school offers a challenging academic environment while maintaining the small-town feel. Teachers go out of their way to take care of their students. My wife and I have been very happy with the school and its leadership.

What a great school! We have only been here three years and this school just keeps getting better. The teachers work hard to have interesting lessons and activities. As a parent we are often invited to come to events at the school that are fun for our whole family. My son loves his teachers and is learning lots. I can't ask for more!

This is a great student-centered school. Some of the really talented teachers have left, but there are still a lot of good ones.

Our children went here last year. We will never send them to this school again. We put them into another public, but progressive school here in the metroplex. At 1st they were so far behind but now they have caught up. We kept assignments from Tarver and showed them to thier new school and teachers, they were shocked that all they were learning was the Taks testing, no real learning. They now have Science, Art, Music with several pages of homework every evening. The extracurricular is amazing and fulfilling. There are so many volunteers in the school. And the teachers do not yell at the students. They disapline but in a fair way, not mean and degrading as we and other parents have discovered at Tarver. We will never go here again. They might get good grades with the Taks, but they fail miserably as an overall school.

This is not a very good school and I would not recomend this one to anyone who wants to move to it. Don't do it! The leadership is less than average. When we came here we were suprised with the way some of the teachers treat their students. Yelling and screaming at them. Having 20 some kids standing at the fence during recess for tiny infractions. This is not typical of other schools. If you have never gone to another school than you really can not say that it is a great school. The computers were down for most of the year for several of the grades until the last month of the year. The lunches are a joke! Fried food almost on a daily basis. The milk is out in an unsanitary way.If a Health Inspector saw the lunch room it would be shut down for violations. Very bad school.

I have had 2 kids go from K-4 at Tarver Rendon. T/R had and still has awesome teachers and administrative staff. They are caring, kind, and great educators. My kids both have very happy memories of T/R and miss the atmosphere and teachers. I have been active in PTA for over 8 years and have found that those that complain the most - do the least. I found T/R teachers very appreciative of parents and always kept me informed of my childs successes and needs. I believe T/R ranks the highest academically of all MISD elementary schools and has a lot to be proud of. Thank you Mrs. Roberts for turning T/R into a school we can be proud of. And thank you Mr. Brubaker for continuing the improvement of ouR school. And thanks to all ove the teachers adn staff. Best little school in Texas!
