we had terrible gifted and spec ed support from administration

I don’t like weaver. It doesn’t promote any curiosity whatsoever. I like some of my teachers, however, it’s such a traditional way of learning. It’s like you do a worksheet, you’re amazing. Don’t even get me started on bullying. They say “zero tolerance”, but I see kids beat up other kids and people cursing out teachers and not getting in trouble. This school is so 100 years ago and doesn’t give any room for student voice. It’s very dirty and unprofessional, especially in bathrooms. There’s janitors for a reason, they don’t do their job. Teachers don’t care, students don’t care. It’s not great, but if you want to go, go.

I do not believe the principal is competent enough to keep the children safe. My daughter has been left unattended by teachers and substitutes who were not paying attention. Her teacher this year is very ineffective at handling problems in class and following up with parents. Last year we were blessed to have a wonderful teacher, but this year that is not the case. So it is the luck of the draw. Pray you do not have an issue that involves the Principal Ms Borlaza because she does not listen, follow up with your questions, or really care about your child or family. I am so unhappy with this school. My children have made such little progress here.

This school, along with the entire district, is more concerned about being one of the top schools than it is their students’ wellbeing. Sure, the education and special education programs are alright, but there is a huge bullying problem and all the teachers and admins do is sweep it under the rug to protect the school’s reputation and the popular students and athletes. Some of my peers have also reported discrimination against them by teachers. Don’t go to this school if you are in any way susceptible to bullying, it will take a toll on your mental health.

The teachers here are top notch. The school's format and high expectations of students are helping my daughter prepare for middle school. She is also having a great social experience. The school places only a couple of students from your child's 5th grade classroom in your child's classes. This provides my daughter with a sense of familiarity while meeting a lot of new kids. I have been very pleased with Hilliard schools. I am impressed with Hilliard City Schools from the superintendent, to the building principals, secretaries, school counselors , classroom teachers, the course offerings, instrumental music program, after school opportunities, sense of community and zero tolerance bullying policy. The parents are also VERY involved in the schools. I would recommend this school and the school district as a whole to anyone.
