We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Tilden is an pretty good school but it's just too many kids running in the hallways and talking badly to 5th graders in my experience there called 5th graders the n word and other horrible things but overall it's a good school staff are ok but definitely need to handle the 7-8 graders that run the halls.

This school is so weird and the kids here are very rude. In my last year here there were fights almost EVERY day which prevented us for having an average learning experience. The kids are disrespectful, teachers are lazy with their jobs, and if you present a solution it most likely will get ignored....

I wouldn’t recommend this school because most of the teachers can’t teach,control their classes, or care about their students education. Also there has been a lot of fights this school year and one time there was 3 fights in one day.

My child literally went here only 2 days and I've got calls back to back because she constantly have to defend herself against other children ... This is crazy I'm gonna look into a transfer tomorrow morning

The experience I have encounter within this school was a negative experience. I would not encourage, Parents who value strong education and a safe environment for their child/children to send them into this school. They will regret it.
