Sports stars and model students will find the district useful and helpful. However, if you are low income, of a different ethnic background, or have a learning disability, your attendance is at best tolerated - and at worst they try to sideline you or force you out of the district so you won't have to be dealt with. A 1950's educational system for a 2019 world. The top administration needs replacement.

Excellent school! The curriculum and variety of classes offered are far above neighboring school districts. The administrators are qualified and caring. The programs offered are diverse and well managed. This is the most desirable school district around.

My daughter just recently graduated from Hawthorn (4th grade) and will be moving onto Oak Ridge in the fall. Top reasons we loved Hawthorn are: the staff really care about each student. They learn everyone's name and like all Camdenton buildings, the teachers are outside at 720am each day dressed up and listening to "kid friendly" pop songs and giving out high fives and smiles to each student! My daughter was part of the Robotics program, and has been the past 2 years, along with a Project Lead the Way both of which were after school clubs which she loved. Hawthorn's push for more STEM based curriculum is amazing, and each student loves it! Their clubs, reading and math contests, to the after school programs for both the advanced (listed above) and for those who just need a little bit of help like PASS & Book Buddies. As with all the elementary schools in camdenton, they have an amazing PTO program & volunteers that give their time to watch all the students grow too! I couldn't imagine a better school for my daughter! We cannot wait until fall and what Oak Ridge has in store for her!
