J. J. Izard Elementary School

The teachers and support staff at James R Tate Elementary School are wonderful. I've had two children at Tate last year and my two youngest are at Tate this year. The teachers go above and beyond the normal duty of a teacher!

This is my eighth straight year to have a child in school at Tate. I know most of the teachers and love them all. They really care for their kids and want them to learn. My older son who is no longer in school there loves to go back and visit his teachers. My younger son who is in 2nd grade there loves to go to school. They got a new principal, Karen Davis, last year. She was a teacher at Tate before earning her Masters Degree and moving into administration. I'm reserving judgement on her ways of running a school. It seems that problems are slower to be address and corrected that they were in the past. I think it will take time, but I still love the school and would recommend it to anyone with elementary age children.
