Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-03-25 “Dedicated teachers, advanced curriculum, great kids. The school is doing a better job of communicationg with parents than last year (2007). Being in a downtown, urban environment isn't as much of a drawback as you might think.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-12-19 “Communication w/ parents is a problem; teachers are inaccessible. It has great teachers and good academics. Children are not secure in staying there.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-12-18 “I would hesitate to recommend this school to the parent of a child going into 4th or 5th grade. The school is excellent, but there is no loyalty shown to current students who are thriving there and doing well; All students reappy for 6th grade, and if a child outside the school has a higher GPA from his home school (easier than Travis, most likely), the Travis child can easily lose his/her spot for middle school. This creates major morale problems for everyone a the school, parents, children, and teachers. Many kids who are excellent students do not gain readmission to middle school, so the ones who make it back in lose their friends, etc.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-08-02 “Wow! This is an awesome school and staff. I have never had a problem with any teacher or the principal. This is a loving, caring school with the students' best interest put front and foremost. I have been very happy with the 'motherly' attention my children have had from the principal and all of their teachers! I really appreciate the efforts and systems in place to keep it one of the safest schools I have seen.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-04-14 “Good points: The students are a neat, creative group of kids. There are a few teachers who are excellent and put a lot of energy into the school. Parents are caring and invovled. Bad points:Principal is disinterested. The emphasis is on TAKs performance and uniforms, not academics It is hard to see how this is a TAG school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-02-09 “This is a great school with a few minor exceptions. The entrance criteria should be revisited. It requires a student to have 80% or above on their ITBS and an 80 GPA. There are several students who have 85 and above GPA but do not do well on standardized tests. The entrance criteria should weight the ITBS scores such that students are given points depending on their score. It should not be based on whether the student did well on a test on a particular day. They may have had a bad day, etc. The teachers are great. The principal is standoffish and is known to not return phone calls or follow through on things.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-04-01 “In a district of 160,000+ students, this school is the best that the district can offer for students in grades 4 through 8. that being said, it is a woefully dysfunctional district and there are many things that Travis can do to enhance its status, though leadership at the local and administrative level seems unwilling to advocate for positive growth”
