This school is abhorrent. They sent me to hospital from stress, and kept me from working when I returned making me fail. Got outed to my parents. They also didn’t do anything but tell them when I said I wasn’t being treated well at home, and did nothing about my bullying. The staff do not listen, they are horribly ableist at times especially when it’s physical, but if you just can’t work at times they don’t care, and I have never. Not once. Felt supported in this school. First year and I already want out. Do not enroll your kid if you love them, or if you want them mentally healthy and safe and alive.

I've had a wonderful experience with Hooper. The teachers are not only highly qualified but also genuinely care about the students' growth — both academically and personally. The administration is approachable, organized, and always open to feedback.The school offers a well-rounded curriculum, including extracurricular activities, sports, and arts, which help students explore their interests and develop new skills. The atmosphere is positive, inclusive, and safe — making it a place where students are encouraged to thrive.Communication with parents is consistent, and there’s a real sense of community here. I highly recommend BJ Hooper to any family looking for quality education in a nurturing environment.

We have had all three of our children go through the D41 school system. We have two special education students who have received wonderful care, skills, and encouragement. We believe our kids were ready for high school and made lifelong friends at Palombi. The staff is very caring. The school has retained its teachers, a testament to the administration's effectiveness. The enrichment courses are abundant!
