They are truly dedicated, warm and wonderful.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-10-26 “Taper Avenue is a great school. I love the teachers and the principal is very responsive to parents questions and concerns. There is great parents involvement in activities and within the classroom. The valet program, art to grow on, the SAS program are also great programs at the school. The API score was fantastic last year due to the dedication of the principal and teachers to the school curriculum.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2006-10-20 “Teachers are quick to point fingers at students instead of working with them. The principal is nice, but has no authority over teachers and certainly not over the Magnet school. They recently spent money on a new playground, while it should have been spent on quality teachers.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-06-07 “Wonderful school, great teachers and administrators. The encourage parental involvement and have lots of sports/art/music programs.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-02-06 “Principal and administrative staff are wonderful. My child's 2nd grade teacher was excellent, 4th grade teacher, excellent so far. I agree with previous parent's comment about the Magnet Technology, technology is more than computers.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-01-20 “overall, taper is a good neighborhood school. there's a lot of parent involvement which is a big plus. academic standards are definitely higher in the last year or two which can mean more homework, but in the long run help the kids do better in the future. the good teachers do expect the parents to be involve in helping their kids succeed in school, i.e. make sure homework done in time.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-12-01 “This is a former blue ribbon school. I like the parent involvement and the principal is wonderful. They have some good teachers. I think the main struggle the school has is that there is a high population of students for whom English is a second language so this effects test scores, but I still like the school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5
