Open Quote It's a great school with caring teachers. There are so many opportunities for students. Close Quote

Open Quote I am very unimpressed with Tuttle. They do not care about students, just how much funding they can get. They do not actually take the time to teach them anything, they just rely on a program IREADY to teach the children. They seem to want students to fail so they can get more state funding.

Open Quote I requested a change of classroom for my daughter, who is in first grade, as I picked her up the first two days of school crying. She normally loves school! Turns out her teacher has a reputation for being rude and mean to the children. A friend of mine has witnessed this teacher putting her hands on a student and yelling in their face- enough reason for me to request a new classroom! The principal did not seem to care about my child's feelings and attributed the tears to getting used to a new school. I think I know her better than that! So he refused to move her, and I told him through tears that I was very disappointed and said I was taking her home with me. I'll figure something else out, I guess- I said. His response? A smug "OK. THANKS FOR COMING IN."

UNBELIEVABLE. How can the principal of an ELEMENTARY school care SO LITTLE about a child's feelings? His careless and ignorant behavior is causing us totally unnessesary stresses. A huge disappointment.

I will be contacting the school board. Avoid Tuttle Elementary if you can. They do not have the children's best interests in mind. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
