School review information
Taylor Park Elementary is a highly desirable public school in Burnaby, offering a well-rounded education with strong academics, robust extracurriculars, and a supportive community. While families should be prepared to navigate traffic congestion and childcare waitlists due to the area's growing population, the school's positive environment and dedicated staff make it an excellent choice for elementary education.
Editorial review summary
Parent feedback for Taylor Park Elementary is generally very positive, with families praising the school's strong academics, dedicated staff, and diverse extracurricular offerings, including highly successful sports teams. The active Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is frequently highlighted for organizing community events, movie nights, and hot lunch fundraisers. However, parents frequently note challenges related to the school's rapid enrollment growth. High-density development in the surrounding Edmonds and Metrotown areas has led to the school operating near or over capacity, resulting in traffic congestion, parking issues, and jaywalking concerns during drop-off and pick-up times. Additionally, securing before- and after-school childcare can be difficult due to high demand and long waitlists.
Common positives
- Strong and consistent academic performance (7.3/10 Fraser rating).
- Active and engaged Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) that fosters a strong community.
- Excellent extracurricular options, including championship-winning sports teams and an optional band program.
- Beautiful parkland setting with a unique history of environmental remediation.
- Focus on Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and inclusive education.
Common concerns
- School is operating near or over capacity due to local population growth, prompting potential future catchment changes.
- Traffic congestion, parking issues, and safety concerns during peak drop-off and pick-up times.
- High demand for before- and after-school care, often leading to long waitlists for families.
Who this school may fit
Highly recommended for families seeking a strong academic foundation balanced with sports and community involvement. Prospective parents should plan ahead for before- and after-school care and consider walking or carpooling to avoid drop-off traffic.

The rating dataset used here covers 2024-2025. The five-year average belongs to that historical report, not the five years ending today.
Academic ratings do not capture the whole school experience, including belonging, support, or fit for your child. A nearby care provider does not necessarily offer school pickup; confirm with the provider.
