GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Hardy Elementary School is not a safe place for special education students or their families. The principal is a bully who pushes around staff and parents and threatens anyone who speaks out against her. She is a mean, vindictive person. Teachers will lie about your child’s success in the classroom so they do not have to face her wrath when their performance justifies the students need for an IEP. The abuse and mistreatment of special education students is horrific.

"I have had the pleasure of living and working in beautiful Smithfield, Virginia. As part of a proud military family, we wanted to be within driving distance of the bases, but far enough away to really enjoy our family time. Smithfield is an amazing community, really charming and welcoming. I've lived here since 2006 and I would be more than happy to call this area my forever home."
