5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur school is AWESOME! Teachers we have worked with are creative, smart and involved with student learning and development. Teachers receive regular updates in their disciplines and the principal models excellence and promotes and recognizes this with her students and staff. Reading, Math, Science and Technology are promoted. It is a great place for parents to get involved and share in the learning experience with their children. Grades are posted online so you can check them before your child is in trouble. A new school building would be great because we sit at the bottom of a hill of sorts so the land holds water and potential for mold growth. This has been discussed before so I am sure someone is looking at this concern. We would like to keep our school in this area and not relocated across town. Perhaps a ground survey can be done to raise the land and alleviate the water settling problem. Parents should know that the kids are pushed for excellence and parent support is always welcome! So come in and see what your child is doing, help the teacher by being a team player. Show our children we are there even if we can not do it every day. :) They can not teach and discipline.Other Review12y ago - Hubert Middle School
