    "No doubt the best school that my children have ever attended. I find it hilarious to read negative reviews about this school. My wife and I are finding it difficult to move to Cedar Hill until our daughter completes her elementary grade levels. Bottom line Great School Great Staff and I am blown away to find a school so hands on with the students and parents. Not to mention Webster doesn't have enough verbs to describe Ms. Richardson (AWESOME!!) So allow me to go out on a limb and say this if you have any ISSUES with this school { IT'S-YOU}......."

    "Both my daughters attend this school, we moved here from another city and I was told enrolling my kids in Dallas ISD was a bad idea. I have found this school to be great so far. My husband and I are excited we moved in the district of TL Marsalis. As mentioned in a post from a previous parent, Kimberly Richardson is a great principal we always see her in the halls interacting with the students and teachers. We feel that our children are being challenged in a way they have never been challenged before. I have not experienced any rude teachers or administrative staff. I can say my kids teachers are very direct when it comes down to school work and homework in which I'm the same way at home. I'm glad we gave TL Marsalis a chance. GREAT SCHOOL!"

    "My son attends this school. This was the biggest mistake ever. He transferred from Larry Smith elementary and I was so satisfied. I moved to the southern area and this was his home school. The individual in the front office has an attitude when you call to check on you kid's behavior. I have never been to a place where the professionals are so unfriendly. When you call to speak to a teacher, you may not get a call back. I'm almost sure that parental involvement is not important. There is no classroom management. At Larry Smith, he was active but the teacher kept him in check, and always gave me updates on his behavior as I requested. Very unprofessional individuals. The principal is the only professional individual at the school. The assistant principal may need some staff development. I'm extremely frustrated!!!!!!!!!"

    "My daughter is in her third year at Marsalis and I am very impressed with the leadership of Principal Kimberly Richardson. The atmosphere of the school is really good--much better than many other schools in the southern sector. There are of course a few areas that still need improvement, but overall it is a very good school."

    "My son and brother attend TL Marsalis. This school is for the most part a good school but some of the staff there sometimes are a little unprofessional. There PreK teachers are the best they help keep their parents involved with their children. I have been a registered voulunteer for 4 years there now and see that the school does need more parent involvement. But I would like to just remind parents that we as parents should always be our children's first teacher as the last parent stated. Hat's off to TL Marsalis and continue to reach for excellence."
