I believe Teresa Hughes is an awesome school. The only flaw this school has is the administration office. These people need to learn how to speak to parents, how to send news letters home in a timely matter. I will personally contact the district and let them know whats going on with the staff.

... Read more they lack public relation skills as well as common courtesy to everyone who enters unless they know you are from the district.

Students can only progress with the support of their teachers and adminstrators. Read less

My son went to Teresa Hughes from Kinder til his culmination in 6th grade. Overall the school has some fantastic teachers that have been there for many many years.
