My children and I love all of the teachers and staff at this school. They are always willing to go the extra step for them to make sure they are happy and comfortable at the school.

The campus is clean and well maintained. My only complaint, other than administration, is parking lot. Something needs to be done about the parking and pick-up situation!!! My 5th grade child is still ranting and raving about Mrs. Weimer and Mrs. Kennedy. The new teacher Mrs. Rund is turning out to be a hit with him as well. Keep it up Hearn Academy! Read less

I would not recommend this school. The leadership is very weak. Unfortunately the leadership is very wishy washy and are not willing to deal with internal problems. They try to wish them away, but the problems just get larger. My son graduated this year but I will be enrolling my daughter elsewhere.
