Thurgood Marshall Elementary School

Very bad leadership school has gone downhill since 2015.

Marshall is an exceptional public school. The principal is extremely visible and involved. The teaching staff are committed to the success of every single student. We have had a phenomenal experience.

Superb SAC program, after-school programs, and best staff ever! We love TM elementary to death and the kids (two of them) rave about their teachers. All events are classy and well worth our time.

Marshall Elementary is a truly unique school. I have experienced many different area schools in the past ten years and this one truly stands out for its teacher commitment and its community involvement. The teachers at this school LOVE children and LOVE teaching. They see kids as so much more than just scores and data. They see each individual child for the beautiful person that they are growing into and support their strengths as well as their weaknesses. Many activities are offered to the students during the school day as well as in the form of before and after school clubs. The music, art, and PE programs are all phenomenal with dedicated teachers who work hard to ensure that the kids grow their skills in these areas in a way that nurtures and inspires their creativity. The librarian takes a personal interest in children's love of reading, personally ordering and hand delivering books already checked out to reluctant readers and kids who have special interests or difficulty finding books that fit them. The PTO works tirelessly to fill the gap between the school's site-based budget and the needs of the students, providing classroom and school-wide access to software, equipment, and resources that allow students to thrive. The parent community is actively involved in supporting student success by supporting classroom learning, working with students, running copies for teachers, and volunteering countless hours to support the students and staff, freeing up precious time for teacher to plan creatively. This is a very special school and I would highly recommend it!
