Tulalip Elementary School

Tulalip has the lowest WASL scores in the state. Lack of leadership by the principal makes the kids feel they can do as they please, no repect for staff or other students. There is much animosity between staff and prinicpal, and the community would like to see a change.

Tulalip Elementary is working hard to be an effective school. Staff is now stable after years of teacher flight to schools in town. Principal plans time in schedule for teacher collaboration. Parent involvement is growing and that helps develop sens eof community at school.

While Tulalip may not have the highest test scores, the extras are second to none. The family nights are awesome, the programs brought by the PTSA are second to none. Homework Club and the Boys and Girls after school program are all excellent. My stepdaughter exceeds all areas of the WASL. Parents need to take part in their child's education through participation in school day activities or after school activities.

Tulalip is working towards improvement in academics, through continuing to improve the 'culture' of the school. Tulalip needs continued district support. Equity. Tulalip Elementary should look like other schools up town, from its building to supplies.

Very poor scores compared to local schools. Is this the result of substandard curriculum issues, a principal who doesn't keep up with the standards, or will it be blamed on the ethnicity of the students? I think that the current curriculum standards and research-based instruction needs some updating.
