Edward R. Taylor Elementary School
My son has attended ER Taylor since Pre School, he's entering the 5th grade this year. The teachers really push the kids to met their full potential. The teachers are very engaging with the parents making sure I as a parent know what's going on inside the classroom as well as any other curriculum activities that could be beneficial to my son. My only complaint would be I wish they had a middle school. I couldn't have chosen a better school for my son!!!
