Humphrey is an excellent school, regardless of what its test results would indicate. Judging a school on controversial standardized test results alone is misleading and simply foolish. The school s population is diverse and emulates the real-world more than most schools in this area. With the hiring
... Read more of new principal Luke Hickey, parent involvement is picking-up at Humphrey, and because parents are a child s most important teachers, this can only lead to good things for the school. All Humphrey s teachers are well-educated, dedicated, compassionate, and invested in the school s excellence. There are many choices, but I m very glad we stuck with our home school. Humphrey is teaching our children more than academics. It s teaching acceptance and diversity in an unpretentious way without the least bit of elitism. Read less

so far have had a great experience at Humphrey school. Kindergarten (Mrs. Ortega) and first grade (Ms. Sanford) teachers were very good. Kids are given buddies several grades ahead of them who come and read to them. They then have older kids on the playground the know and relate to. Lots of quality learning

Learning 'centers' in the classroom kids choose from (reading, poetry, math, etc.) with pre-set activities they know they need to accomplish by a certain time during the day which teaches time-management. Other creative instructor-led activities where children interact with eachother and teacher for spelling and reading. Lots of hands-on manipulatives for teaching math, counting, patterns, fractions.

I really don't care for the principal. The office staff is great and as helpful as they can be allowed. The principal spends all of her time in her office. I never seen her in the cafeteria during lunch, never out at recess, nor having contact in the classrooms.
