Toby Johnson Middle School

This is my daughter’s first yr at Toby and the EGSD. We came from the Dry Creek School District which is awesome, and my daughter has adjusted very well. The kids are well behaved, the staff is great, the principal and vp are awesome and keep things in check! They are always motivating the kids and have great programs for the kids. I love the diversity this school and EG offers and don’t regret my move from the Antelope area, which I lived in ¾ of my life. My daughter fits right in, and is meeting alot of kids. The academic standards and expectations are set high, so this is great. I hear the kids that go to this school and then Franklin High, end up at some of the best colleges in the country. Its a great feeling when you know that your child has the opportunity to have a great future!

This school is great! Very polite staff and teachers. :-) This is a great school for your children to go :-)

I was in for treat tonight, I was invited to the annual Christmas play. The production of Seussical Jr. These kids were amazing!!! I don’t know what they pack in there lunches out here but their breeding serious performers. If you are looking to watch a live show tomorrow night, being your date or wife and enjoy the show…

We have kids in elementary, middle school and high school in Elk Grove. This review pertains to the office staff of Toby Johnson Middle School. Whenever I’ve made a call to either the elementary or the high school, the office staff at those schools are friendly and helpful. However, the office staff at TJMS is SO rude that I finally felt that I needed to say something — somewhere — to see if anyone else has had the experiences that I have had. We have seriously considered making a complaint to the school’s principal, as this staff does answer to him, but as I stated before, we wanted to know if others had the same treatment. These ladies regularly answer the phone with an «I’ve got lots of things I’d much rather be doing» attitude, and it goes downhill from there. You ask your question, or let them know that your child will be out for the day, and often get hung up on at the end of the conversation with no goodbye. I’ve actually tried to engage them in conversation, trying to make the conversation go better to no avail. A few months ago, I got a phone call from the school from one of the secretaries stating that my daughter was sick and in the nurse’s office. When I got to the school, and repeated what I’d been told, the woman at the desk sneered at me, saying «we don’t HAVE a nurse’s office!» Today, I picked up my daughter; went up to the counter, and just stood there waiting for someone to acknowledge me. No one ever said a word to me, and after about 4 minutes of being ignored, they just called to my daughter (who was in the office the school nurse uses when she’s there on Wednesdays) and told her «it’s time to go» without ever looking up to say hello/​acknowledge that there was someone at the counter. I’m SO sick of the snotty attitudes that I decided to «Yelp» this school. I hope that somehow, this message might get them to change their tune.
