Tri-C Elementary K-4 Grade School

Posted September 29, 2009

I love Tri-C and even more my daughter loves this school and I think there is a good balance of curriculum and fun learning but I must say as far as reading I wish the kindergarten teachers would focus more on phonics and reading. I do not feel that my daughter has gone to first grade very prepared in the reading area. I work with her very hard and read to her constantly yet I feel that the kindergarten teachers fail to prepare her for first grade. I must say that the kindergartners at the Giant City School district almost if not more than most of the first graders at Tri-C and that disturbs me alot. I think the older teachers need to be updated on current phonic and reading so that the kids are up to their level when they come out of kindergarten!

I had two children that attended Tri C. We had two really great teachers, and two not so great teachers. We had quite a few serious issues with this school, ranging from how a serious accident at school was handled, to the special education program. We chose to remove our children from this school after 1st grade. The overall attitude of staff is very poor. I will say that our son, who is a model student, faired well here, and is ahead (academically)of many of the children at their new school. My daughter is thriving and learning at the new school as she never did at Tri C. I personally did not experience at all a welcoming toward parents who wanted to be involved. I was as involved as I could be, but never once felt it was at all appreciated or even wanted.

I have four children that have attended or are attending Tri-C. It is a very good school. And while the attendance keeps growing there is still a small town feel in the classroom. My family has been very grateful to attend Tri-C and yes we were transplants. The one downside to Tri-C is it's special education program. Iif you have a special ed child you should consider another school. While the special education program in this area is a county based program, those working at Tri-C fail in providing good services to those special ed kids.
