South Tamarind Elementary School

The principal and office staff are horrible. Losing paperwork and never returning calls. They don't have a PTA. Office staff always socializing and not helping parents.

Terrible, I would find another school if I were you. Go look around for yourself.

If you as a parent are a non-participant in your child's upbringing and education, then your student will fit right in. Many students are not taught basic English before entering the public school system. South Tamarind has stalled basic education in order to provide basic English lessons to students in the first few grades. Since noting this issue, another school has been built in the area for "international students". This may or may not be an issue for new students entering South Tamarind pre-school, but for students that had to wait on the back burner while the teacher taught basic English for however many years, the damage is already done. South Tamarind also seems to be either overpopulated or understaffed. Possibly both. There are enough children acting like wild animals that at least once a week there are serious issues to be dealt with. Staff is spoken to, meetings are held, yet the problems never stop. School policy is inefficient and some of the staff seem to be incompetent. If you expect your child to be safe and have their self and personal belongings respected, then you'd be better off considering another school to send your student(s) to. I've taught students from grades 2-8 and never allowed my students to act like savages in my presence.
