Tolleson Elementary School

"My children attended this school for many years, and I was very pleased with its earlier administration. The last few years, this school became very unapproachable towards the parents, such as being denied access to visit the class without scheduling an appointment. I have taken my child out of the school and placed him/her in one of the other PCSSD schools where my child had a very successful year. Unfortunately, my child ended up back in Tolleson, because of the superintendent's decision and his "efficient staffing". My child was punished more than taught. Also, my child was punished for very little things, such as having a few extra papers in their desk. They make their children walk around the square, called "walking the box" for very little behavior infractions, such as forgetting homework and parents not signing their daily folder. My child was very upset and started having problems concentrating and having nightmares about attending that school. Fortunately, we were able to pull him/her out of that school. My child is now having a successful year academically. He/she has never experienced any big behavioral problems before. My child will never attend this school again, never ever!! I only hope that with the new school district, the condition of this school will improve."
