Tumbleweed Elementary School
We enrolled our daughter for first grade. The classwork and homework was a complete joke and a perfect example of why our kids are not learning. The reading materials and homework NEVER progressed or challenged our 1st grader. The teacher had no control of her class- I would not recomed sending your children here. We were lucky to enroll our daughter in a different school for 2nd grade.
