I have had 4 of my 5 children in this school since 1998 to present. While some years are better than others, overall I am very pleased with hickory flat.

Teachers are IMO overwhelmed. As a parent, I'm constantly having to ask about availability of tutoring programs for my kids and have yet to see them placed in the programs. Very disappointed with the lack of urgency. As for parent involvement, there is very little in my kids classes. It's like pulling
