Thurgood Marshall Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-05-05 “This was my child first year there. I was very expressed with Ms. Odom ( a new kindergarten teacher). For this to be Ms. Odom first year, I think that she did an excellent job with my child. She was very informative and organized. Let me not forget to give her Assistant Ms. Favors her props too. Wonderful Job! The overall school did a wonderful job with recognizing their students for their acccomplishments.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2008-03-14 “I thought when I enrolled my child at Marshall Elementary that it was an excellent school. I spoke to several parents and they had nothing but good things to say about Marshall. I hate to think what schools they were using in comparison! A many Marshall faculty members yell at the kids in class, in the cafeteria and hallways, and they don't seem to really like children at all. A teacher with a nasty attitude attempted to speak tersely as she approached me from behind and quickly apologized because she thought I was one of the students! Also, I believe that good teachers should do all they can to enrich young students' lives, not just throw homework/classwork at them and say, 'good luck figuring it out.' There are decent teachers there but they need to create a mentoring program for new instructors and hold these professionals accountable for underperformance of bright students.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-07-22 “Marshall has the ability to be a great school but lacks leadership that involves teacher support program that welcomes their expertise. Very closed minded thinking and micro-management has caused school to lose its best teachers. While they offer great extracurricular activites, this means nothing if academics are not tight. Gifted program needs more expansion. Six hours of advanced class a week for child isn't enough. There is very little parent involvement unless free food is offered or a talent show. I have talked to excellent staff members that voiced their issues and I saw they were never addressed by principal. Parents volunteers are almost not there.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-07-06 “I have been a Marshall parent for the past two years.My kids have excelled as the development of the whole child is targeted at Marshall.The teachers at Marshall go the extra mile for each student. Success and discipline are high priorities for the staff of Marshall Elementary.The principal and administrators are very supportive of the parents and students.Parental support and involvement are encouraged and I have seen many parents step up to the plate.The school has a balanced specials program which involves PE, Art, music, computers and other extracurricular activities like basketball and cheerleading.The use of technology is integrated at the school with the use of laptops and smartboards.The power and value of education is continuously advocated to the students and their parents and most students/parents have accepted their responsibility as being part of the Marshall family.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-08-02 “The quality of the academic program is average. I believe it should be a little more rigorous to hold the students attention and continue to challenge them. (my opinion only) A lot of children enter school with a lot of knowledge and that knowledge is not challenged enough in the 1st and 2nd grades. As a result children loose interest and grades begin to fall. This school needs to add band atleast by the 4th grade. PE should be everyday and not just 2 or 3 days a week. I think that the parental involvement is up to par. Most functions are packed. Overall the staff is very professional,friendly, and knowledgeable. I have had a pleasant experience thus far.”
