I believe that the office staff do make an effort to try and appear profesional but it never comes out that way. they speek to the parents as if they have a hard time understanding english, some do, however others who are american born should notbe treated this way. the staff at this school will often over react about situations that can easily be ignored and not even bring some serious matters to the parents attention. my kids have learned lots but its not worth the stress.

If anyone wants to ensure that their child will be adequately prepared for the future, I would highly recommend that they enroll their child in Hamtramck Academy.

There is no support for the parents other than conferences that are offered 2 times a year. The children are forced to stand outside the building until they are let in exactly at 7:30, no matter what the temperature is. I would not recommend this school to anybody, unless you are willing to subject your child to work, work and work! There is no recess, not even for the younger kids. Read less
