The kids at this school treated my children as outsiders. My kids were so much happier at their old school in Hayward where everyone was friendly. My daughter told me the kids here are more into acting like they are rich than the family environment she is used to. The teachers don't seem to help in

I have three children that attend Tom Hawkins Elementary and I have been pleased with their education thus far. However, I am extremely disapointed with the 2008 CST scores, expecially in the lower grades. It has dropped dramatically from 2007 results. (30% in some grades, which put it below state average.

K-8 is the only way to go! Academicly the school seems to do well. The staff takes extra time to assist the students after school with a program called 'homework club'. This has made all the difference in the world for most children, and it helps the parents out. Since it is a 'country' district

Flag football, volleyball, basketball are not available in the city districts, but they keep to tradition with the other rural districts in the area. I am pleased with their afterschool activities.
