Research Taylor Elementary School Public Schools in Cedar Rapids, Iowa

“My daughter has been at Taylor for the last two years (step up and kindergarten), both years have been very academically and socially successful. There are options for parent involvement from the PTA to volunteering to family events such as the harvest hop and chili night and more. I believe there are 2 parent teacher conferences per school year as well. I have been very impressed with the before and after school program (TANA kids club) as it is fun, educational, and a safe place for kids.”

“Parent involvement is quite low & something needs to be done to increase it because the kids suffer because a lot of parents just don't seem to care. There are no extracurricular activities available at Taylor & that is unfortunate. I am mostly concerned about the safety of the children & the school. Yes there are notes posted on the doors for visitors to check into the office, but no one really watches the door & I have yet to see anyone stopped that comes into the building that does not check into the office. Therefore, anyone could walk in & go anywhere & that is a huge concern!”

“Taylor Elementary is a great school. They do need more parent involvement, though. This school does not have before or after school care.”
