Our experience at R.F. Hartman Elementary has been nothing short of exceptional. From day one, the environment has felt incredibly welcoming; seeing the teachers and the leadership team, including Principal Shawnell Bradshaw and Assistant Principal Meagan Wendt, personally greeting the kids with glowing smiles at drop-off sets such a positive tone for the day. That same enthusiasm, care, and personal connection are just as evident at pick-up, providing our son with a safe and loving space to grow both academically and socially.What stands out most is how the staff truly lives 'The Wylie Way,' fostering a genuine love for learning through core values like grit and gratitude. We have seen a remarkable transformation in our son’s confidence, socialization, language, and mathematics. We are especially grateful to Rachael Howe and the entire teaching team in her class for their dedication—they truly see each child as an individual.We also want to highlight the incredible support from the Counselor’s Corner. Melanie Brune has been instrumental in our son's emotional growth, helping him find his voice and navigate his feelings with kindness. We couldn't have asked for a better foundation for his elementary years.

Certain teachers have favorites here and it showed early on. Also my daughter was called the n word by another student

Hi iam hajar morris a student at cooper jr high school

As a concerned parent, I feel compelled to share my experience and warn others about the deeply troubling practices at Draper Intermediate School. It seems that this institution has a concerning tendency to wrongly accuse students, including juveniles, of actions they have never committed, potentially setting them on a path to unnecessary punishment and hardship.In my case, my child was wrongfully accused of a serious offense, including being alleged to possess a weapon—an accusation that was completely unfounded. Unfortunately, instead of investigating thoroughly and ensuring fairness, the school quickly sent my child to the Achieve Academy Discipline Alternative Education Program (DAEP), which is meant for students who have committed severe offenses. The emotional and academic toll of being wrongly labeled as a troublemaker is immense, and it's something no child should have to endure.The impact of this wrongful accusation was not just academic; it severely affected my child’s self-esteem and emotional well-being. The DAEP program, meant for those guilty of significant misdeeds, further isolated my child from peers and placed them in a system that could damage their future. Even though my child was innocent, the mere association with DAEP had lasting negative consequences. I am deeply concerned about the way Draper Intermediate School handles accusations and discipline, especially when it involves young, impressionable students. Children are being wrongly accused and sent to a program that can haunt them for years. The system seems to be set up in a way that punishes without ensuring proper due process, and without offering the chance for a fair defense.Parents should be aware of the potential consequences their children may face in such a system, and I strongly urge the school to reconsider how it handles disciplinary issues. No child should face such dire consequences based on accusations that have no merit, and no juvenile should have their future impacted in this way. I hope others will take this into consideration when deciding if Draper Intermediate School is the right environment for their child.

Awsome Teachers and education! Thanks to All teachers!
