Toby Johnson Middle School

this school use to be the best in Elk Grove,. We absolutely loved the school 3 years back when my daughter attended the school but the now new principal is ok, disconnected from parents, from kids and even with teachers. He s not bothered about anything , He doesn't value the achievements of the students or teachers. My son is in 8th grade and he is high performing kid so does may of his friends but i am yet to see any word of encouragement or any awards !!!! if kids are not recognized for their handwork they font feel like achieving more also you loose opportunity to motivate other studentswhen my daughter went to Toby, Mr. McDouggle was principal and he was on top of everything,he was always there to greet students, talk to them, and encourage them all the time . Also Tobby use to recognize the achievements of their students for sports and academic achievementsI am seriously considering to send my third child to Eddy I think Toby needs change in Leadership otherwise Toby has a great program..

Great school. Love teacher-parent communication. Teacher grade the tests fast. School loop is very helpful. Band teacher ( Mr. Roberts ) works very hard. Great spirit.

My daughter will be starting at Toby in August. I was moved by the speaches at class selection night. I hope that the school is all it say it is and more. My daughter has her struggles, usually makes friends easily, and I look forward to helping out in anyway I can.

The staff is so unfriendly. Low moral, never a cheerful greeting. Bad first impression. School encourages parents and students to use school loop but does not require all their teachers to use it. Very frustrating for me as a parent. And something that I don't quite understand why would they encourage school loop when they can't get their own teachers to comply. ESP Science teachers. School atmosphere, moral , rules are excellent! Great school. I give principal leadership 2 stars because other parents have mentioned the front office moral and to date nothing has changed. And also for the lack of understanding of getting our teachers to comply to school loop.
