Richardson Terrace Elementary School Reviews

 
Yesterday was my son's last day at Terrace and he was very, very sad. It is a wonderful, wonderful school. My son experience was amazing. I am hoping that more people move into the neighborhood to take advantage of the caring and nuturing environment.

Richardson Terrace Elementary is a warm and caring school where my 3 children (2 of whom have special needs)have flourished. In the past 2 years that they have attending Terrace, all three have made huge improvements academically, have made wonderful friends, and have been made to feel like special individuals. The teachers and staff are so dedicated to helping the children reach their true potential. The diverse student body allows my children to understand and appreciate people from different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. We have, and continue, to enjoy our time at Terrace.

My son, now in high school, went to Terrace from K - 6th grade. He LOVED it, as much as I did! I now have a daughter in second grade and she is also very happy. My son earned the Presidential Education Award and his only school was Terrace Elementary! My daughter is learning and reading above grade level and attends the Quest Program. This says something! One reason I love Terrace is that is isn't an 'all white' school. I want my children to grow up in a loving, supportive, enjoyable environment that represents the real world. My children know about other cultures, religions, and holidays first hand! They don't just have to read about the world and other nations in a book, they can discuss these things with their friends! To me that is a gift! Because of this they are happy, well adjusted, cultured kids! I love Terrace!

This is my third year at Terrace and I love it. My kids also love this school and our family is very involved. Not only am I a parent I am very involved with the PTA; and I will admit that my frustration comes from parents not wanting to get involved with their childrens education, so we do have problems with getting volunteers to help. We have 150% backing from the school admin staff & teachers. As for the teachers, they are top notch they work after school and they even provide Saturday school for the children who need the extra tutoring. But you have to be a supportive parent to notice. In addition, Terrace has also started an ESL class for parents and other family members at night to help better communicate with families. I have children with learning disabilities as well and they are doing great.

My son went to Terrace for one year in the 2005-2006 school year. I do not recommend this school. We were highly disappointed. I felt like an outsider to the other parents and the teachers. My son is in Special Education. We felt the entire time that he was an 'inconvenience' to to the school. Several weeks into the new year at his new school, my feelings about Terrace have been confirmed. Now he is again surrounded by great, caring teachers. My son went down 2 reading levels during his one year at Terrace. He has a lot of making up to do academically and emotionally. I blame Terrace for this horrible set back. He has had 100% positive experience every day at new school.

My daughter just finished the first grade at Terrace for the 2005-06 school year. I have to say her teacher, Ms. Jones, was the best thing about that school. Little to no parental involvement... if there aren't enough volunteers, the school uses the older kids to help out. Overall, I was not too pleased with school. I would recommend transferring your kids to MST for a much better education.

I have two children in this school- they are 6 and 8 years old. We are a minority in this school (we are caucasian) and there are tons of low income kids here. There are also tons of english-learners here. The teachers are top notch.
