Tarver Elementary School

Horrible. We had 1 teacher who put any effort with our child. As the year passed even she began to fade with concerns. Staff has a horrible attitude towards parents who work or ask questions. Do not question them or treatment toward your child is horrible. Son came home daily upset or yelled at by office for things completely out of his control. My son has always loved school and excelled, however, his grades were barely passing and his attitude changed. Addressed this issue many times but no one helped and staff snubbed their noses and refused to address issue. Spoke with many parents who also had the similar if not the same issues. The year could not have gone by fast enough. Moved out this school zone and hope to never see any of these people again .

My children have had great experiences at this school. They have many positive rewards for behavior, Accelerated Reading, and attendance. My children love this school because they feel loved!

My child will no longer attend Tarver Elementary , we will enroll him in another Belton school . Tarver staff fails to empathize with parents and students current situations. Staff crosses boundaries , not giving parents respect and privacy . Staff is rude and fail to communicate properly when trying to establish information required by parents .

Bottom line is that Tarver Elementary has lost my respect since they have gotten a new principal . Tarver elementary fails to empathize with parents . Tarver elementary will treat your child different if they fail to make a connection with the parent. Tarver elementary will count your child half a day late only to really be late 2 min not considering weather or other factors . Your child will hardly ever go outside to play . The lunch custodian is rude and disrepectful towards the children not allowing them to socialize but only eat in a very fast manner as if they were running a prison cafeteria. You will be questioned if your child is sick , you will only be able to furnish a doctors note , a parental note is not effective enough for them ..only leading you to ring up a number of copay payments even if your child is only running a temp ..you have to take your child to the school so they can make the determination if your child is sick enough to stay home . You as a parent have no say or rights to determine what is best for your child at Tarver Elementary . Principal Knox was the best principal for Tarver Elementary and since her retirement from Tarver , Tarver Elementary will never be the same .
