Tustin Memorial Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-10-14 “We have had children at TMA since 2001. It is still a great school and probably the best available in Tustin, Tustin Ranch, and Irvine north of the 5 Freeway. Test results are probably the only 'measurable' part of the school's continued excellence. TMA kids have great academic success when moving on the 6th grade at Pioneer.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-08-16 “We started last year in Kindergarten and are very happy with the performance. The teacher we had surpassed our expectations and we can't wait to start 1st grade. Yes, parental involvement is required but that is a pleasure since it keeps us in touch with our child's world at school. We look forward to many more years at TMA!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-07-20 “Tustin Memorial Academy is an excellent school and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Comparing my experience to another neighborhood school that we attended, Tustin Memorial Academy's quality and standard by far exceeds it. We found the families and staff very friendly and open, not at all cliquish as some of the other reviewers felt. The teachers seem to go above and beyond for the kids. The school has a ton of extra educational programs for the kids like their Art Masters Program (they teach about an artist like Monet), the John Yeiser Music Program, and the Composer Countdown Program (they teach about a composer and listen to the music, like Bach). I love these extra bonuses on top of the regular curriculum. They do require some parental involvement but it's easy to find a way to get involved and the communication b/w school and families is great.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-01-12 “Because TMA is a school of choice, it attracts parents with greater expectations than your neighborhood schools. The standards are high and the parents more demanding as they have made a choice and want a return on that choice. So far my kids have had great teachers and I have not heard any complaints of teachers not doing their job (only personality issues). The expectation of parent involvement can be taxing for those without the time, but it does give the kids lots of extras that would not occur otherwise due to budget issues. If your child is GATE, the school offers GATE only classes not found elsewhere in the district. Communication with the school is very good. Class sizes are always maxed out (except for GATE classes) because of the waiting list to get in. I would definitely choose the school again.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-08-17 “TMA provides what many see as a 'private school education' in a public school setting. In reality, TMA scores consistently exceed those of the private schools in the area! The Principal, teachers, staff, parents, students and community make it a school that consistently perfoms in the top tier of all schools. The District has provided stability in leadership and staff, which motivates students and gives parents a sense of ownership to the school. TMA is a California Distinguished School with innovative programs and direction. The community is proud of what TMA represents and provides our children.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-05-25 “Parent involvement is very high, although sometimes it seems that the parents are having to do stuff that the teachers should be doing. The school does not have strong music or art programs, but there are many after-school activities available at a discounted price. The quality of academic programs is above average compare to the neighboring schools.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-03-29 “A lot of people think TMA is like private school -- it isn't, it's just a public school with great parental involvement, uniforms, and impressive test scores. It also has the GATE program for the district. Otherwise, it's the same school curriculum as other public schools in the area. Lots of after school enrichment offerings, language, science, a great kindegarten play program. Parents and the PTO are very generous with their financial involvement. The classrooms are a bit small, especially for the older grades, and the school is older but it's getting some renovations summer of 2006. I felt my child's experience was ok, not great, not bad. Communication with the school was good.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-03-06 “The school provides a fair academic program, with several extracurricular activities to choose from. Parent involment is a requirement as part of your childs enrollment. However, the parent volunteer program lacks internal administrative oversight leaving new parents to hang and dry.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3
