Susie E. Tolbert Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-10-01 “I am disappointed with this school. We were so excited about going to Susie E. Tolbert. The curriculm has changed and we are not getting what we signed up for or what was promised.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-09-14 “This is a great school. The teachers are wonderful, caring and professional. The school is alway clean free of debris in the hallways. My kids rarely come home sickly. Keep up the good work! My kids now enjoy going to school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-05-28 “I think Susie E.Tolbert is a great school! The person who left the review about the classroom being half and half has obviously never had his or her children attend. The Magnet classes are filled with children who are either Gifted or Academically Talented. Like previously stated, there are some neighborhood children, who are either Gifted or Academically Talented who deserve the right to be there just as much as anyone else. Unlike the Reugular Ed program, this Magnet Program works at an accelerated rate and is usually a half year to almost a full year ahead. There are Regular Ed classes for the neighborhood kids who are not in the Magnet program. As a parent who's there several days a week, I've never seen a fist fight during school, but have seen a couple after school. The staff and teachers are great, and my kids love it!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2007-06-17 “Tolbert is not a gifted school. Only a few students are gifted. Every magnet classroom is comprised of half neighborhood students. Fights breakout daily in the hallways. The teacher turn over is high and there is no set curriculum nor curriculum flow from grade to grade. In my opinion, it is not worth the drive.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-01-30 “Awesome kids giving awesome tours. Teacher/advisors are also very good.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-07-27 “The thing that most impresses me about this school is the respect between staff and students. The teachers interact so respectfully with the students and with each other that the students seem to just naturally respect the teachers. I rarely see 'military style' leadership or the need for extreem discipline.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-05-25 “There is not enough time spent at this school on the basices. It is called a gifted/academically talented but the curriculum is the same as all of Duval Counties. We had 13 field trips for second grade but not enough time to study math facts in class.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2004-08-05 “The school offers a faster pace curriculum allowing the students to cover more throughout the school year. There are tons of projects included as part of the curriculum. I wish the school had more resources for the students, such as a computer lab, full-time art & music teacher. As a parent, if you select this school, be aware that you will have to supplement with other activities to achieve a well-rounded child.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-11-25 “I pulled all 3 of my daughters from a Private Episcopal Day School for the Public Magnet Program. I'm still not crazy about the neighborhood, but it is the BEST education available. I wish I'd started all 3 in Kindergarden. The teachers are WONDERFUL!”
