School Reviews麻豆果冻传媒>1 11/30/2021my child told me about these two stories so my child was eating a pizza when he was eating he saw a hair in his pizza WHAT how did a hair get in his pizza my only worry is what if he ate more hair in his pizza 2nd story so my child was getting lunch he saw a rotten apple then a girl in his class took it and started to eat it but she only spoke Spanish so he told her the apple is rotten until she could understand when she put it down a kid raised his and said she was eating a rotten apple so he said the sometimes happens or something like that does this school look at their food.5 1/19/2016I love this school. I have two children who currently attend and one who attended and is now in high school. As a teacher myself, I would highly recommend this school. My children are both good students and love expeditionary learning. Their teachers have always been concerned and helpful. All of the parents I know really like this school and the learning community. The school has been remodeled and is beautiful and children have access to modern classrooms and lots of materials. My children enjoy their school very much.2 9/1/2015This school itself is really nice, however, the administration is absolutely terrible. The principal, Laurie Godwin, is one of the rudest and most unethical people I have ever encountered. From what I've heard, she treats her teachers very badly. So badly in fact that Tollgate has one of the highest consistent percentages of teachers who leave each year. I have a friend who works there and said about 30% of the staff left, mainly due to the administration. I used to have a child attend the school, but had such a bad experience with the administration that I took her out and enrolled her at another school. Great teachers, but awful admin.Review Tollgate Elementary School Of Expeditionary Learni. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
