What people are saying

Our children have attended this school from 2010 through 2016. I love the Saxon math and Spalding reading/spelling programs the school has integrated throughout all classes and grades. Having continuity in those core areas really helps kids succeed. If I had rated this school a few years ago, when Mr. Budge was principal, I would have given it five solid stars. But since Mrs. Kirk has taken over as principal, this school has gone downhill.

Before, TECS refused to carve out study time so kids could score higher in the SAGE tests, the prevailing idea was that studying for a test was silly and the kids should use their time to learn things that actually mattered. But now that Mrs. Kirk is at the helm, the kids spend too much time studying for the silly SAGE tests.

While TECS is still a good school, and one I would continue enrolling my children in if we weren't moving, it isn't as great as it once was. I do applaud TECS rule of hiring teachers for a 2 year trial and then letting them go if they don't adhere to the standards. I LOVE the Saxon and Spalding programs. I don't enjoy the continuous fundraising the school promotes and I also don't like the grumpy music teacher. But still, overall, this school has a majority of good teachers and a strong scholastic emphasis. Close Quote
