My two children have thrived at Hamblen Elementary school. It is a great neighborhood school with a welcoming, inclusive community. Parents are very involved and the school provides great extracurricular activities. The teachers and staff have done an excellent job supporting children's social-emotional well-being in the midst of COVID-19. My children are enthusiastic about going to school every day. My only complaint is that there are too many demands placed on teachers and classrooms with students that have high behavioral, emotional, and academic needs.

I am a sophomore here which makes me part of the class of 2027. I have a lot of problems with this school. As much as I love the teachers here there is too much stuff that sucks. First every single day the bathrooms are getting closed because people are vaping. Second according to one of my teachers last year the class of 2027 had one of the worst freshman percentage of passing all of their classes with a 68 percent normally it is an 87 percent. I saw in my 6th period that people were rude and lazy. Also when we had our class meeting the administrators did not even talk about our grades from last year. I do not think the administrators care about us passing I think they just gave upon us. The only reason I am still here is because I want to stay with my friends. I would not recommend coming here.
