Research Taylor Middle School public Schools in Albuquerque, New Mexico

“Taylor has a great Gifted program- they've built it up over the last three years and none of the gifted classes have over 12 students. One of the gifted teachers was a finalist for the Golden Apple Award and she does independent study and video production with her kids- you can see it all on their website- taylorgifted.org”

“Taylor has the finest staff I've ever worked with in my career. The administration is top notch. Teachers at this school genuinely care about students and go above and beyond their jobs as defined by the district contract for the benefit of the students.We try very hard to make sure that students are in classes that are most beneficial for them and we try very hard to keep parents active and informed. I wouldn't leave Taylor for any other school in this district!”

“My son attended Taylor in both 6th and 7th grade. He was satisfied with the school in 6th grade and performed to an average level. However, in 7th grade, he disliked the school intently, and his teachers did not over exert themselves to help him. I wanted him to challenge himself academically, but the school wanted to test him first to see if he was able to perform well enough in more challenging classes. I think this tracks students into low, average and high end groups which educational research shows is not conducive to student acheivement for those students who are in smart classes. I plan to transfer my son next school year.”

“I think that Taylor middle school is a great school for students to expand their learning. I also think that the extra curicular activities are cool because there is mostly something for every student. There is cooking, basketball, soccer, computers, and also many more for students to have fun after school ends.”

“Taylor middle school has great after school progrmas consisting of cooking,computers,games and movies,dance,cheerleading. It's extracurricular activities are good they've had great basketball seasons. The students have very nice and wonderful teachers both physical education and in the classes too. The teachers make sure that all the homework is fair so that the students can have time to do them and do the other sports. I would recommend tms to anyone.”

“There are few extra curricular activities and the principal doesnt do anything about it. I would not recommend this school, because it has few oppertunities for students and the teachers dont care if you fail or pass. The gifted prpgram has few opptions as well. The only g-class is english and the teacher is new and doesnt know how to teach very well from inexperience. The school is fairly large and teachers dont have one-on-one time with students. I would not go to TMS if I were you.”
