My son is a current student and my daughter was a former student of this remarkable educational establishment. I have also volunteered at Hedgesville Elementary and I have seen first hand at how well all of the students were treated. Everyone has a smile and a wonderful greeting when passing in the halls. The principal is always smiling and cheerful. She takes time to communicate promptly and makes you feel welcome. I am filled with admiration and pride to know that every child is treated with kindness and compassion and will no doubt receive the best education possible. If I could give 10 stars I would without missing a beat. Sincerely,Erik Blanchfield.

If i could give this school zero stars I would. I hated going to school here and I had the worst experience coming to this school and the main problem was the teachers and staff of the school. I had experience MANY incidents that had happened to me and the school did absolutely nothing about it or even seemed to care. I was homeless a one point during my senior year and was told to worry about the things I can “control” like my grades. As my mental health, hygiene and living situation didn’t matter to them. I was also touched inappropriately by an another student in my class. When I told the staff about it only one teacher seemed to care, the principal was not involved at all to address the situation, I have no idea if that student had been talked to or suspended for what he did because they didn’t communicate with me after the incident. I was told to simply “stay away” from him I had suffered from anxiety and depression and I can say that going to this school made my mental health worse, as I was constantly scared to go to my classes like Band, Spanish and even more scared of the counselors because they were more worried about my grades and my attendance in class as THEY themselves were CONSTANTLY pulling me out of my core classes resulting into me falling my classes because i would spend at least 2 whole class periods with the counselors asking me “do you know why I pulled you in?”, knowing the answer would be the same and we’d spend so much time on “trying to improve” me staying in class when I wouldn’t ever skip. This school needs to do better handling situations no matter what it is. I had been traumatized from this school and extremely disappointed with the way my situation were handled. The professionalism needs to improve by a long shot or need new staff completely.

I am in 7th grade. The teachers are really nice. But the quality of disiplen is poor. You could get a refueral or detention so easily. For example, not putting your mask up two times could get you detention. You get one team warning over something small. They give you detentions and punishments like its nothing. Also they keep the school very clean. The bathroom sinks need replaced. They look like they are from the 1950's and they are discusting. The food is not very good, no fault of the cafeateria ladies. No matter if you are in 1st grade or 8th grade, you get the same meals. At the school I used to Pine Richaland located in Gibsonia PA., the food got better as you got in the older grades. The work load is very light. There are tree sections of the school building. The original section from the 1920's, a section from the 1960's, and a section from the 1990's. The school could use an upgrade. The school sports are really good. Over all, the school is pretty good. Everybody makes you feel welcome.

Not pleased with this school at the office people are very unpleasant the principle had no knowledge on handling sistuation. If you have a problem it becomes that you child is why they are being bullied and is labeled with social issues I disagree with her ways of handling situation
