This school is basically a popularity contest that begins with the teachers. The teachers (if you want to call them that) are severely lacking in their own education so how would they be able to teach your children? I graduated from this school and was totally unprepared for college even with a 3.75 GPA (which doesn't mean much because I slacked off quite a bit). Luckily, after severely applying myself I have obtained a Master's degree from a large university; however, this "school" did nothing to help me attain that goal. Not everyone is as gifted as I am. If you value your children's education get them as far away from this school as possible.

Teachers are wonderful and care so much for the students. My child has learned so much being at Hayes and I have always been able to contact his teacher anytime I had questions or concerns.

Washington Grade Center has been a wonderful school for my 3rd grader. She brings home ample work showing her progress, what is being taught, and all content is age-appropriate learning. She is encouraged to read often and has a wonderful teacher. This teacher has not only taught required learning but also includes valuable life skills into her classroom. Children learn about finance, simple budgeting, spending, saving etc. through their classroom "Neighborhood". They have "jobs" where they learn responsibility and management skills. The teachers, staff, and support staff are all incredible. Ms. Wilkins, the principal, is amazing. The school has Monday morning meetings with kiddos in a group setting, they teach and lead by example the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, the hallways are clean and inviting. Washington is a safe school. Doors remained securely locked, and visitors must check in with a state-issued photo ID. Washington schools have the best school resource officers who not only keep the kids and faculty safe but know each kid by name. These resource officers are involved in the classroom by reading to students or filling in gaps where needed. 10/10 I would recommend Washington Grade Center.

I've had two children at this school, and they have both learned a lot, while being prepared for the junior high experience.

Teachers are great and if you are doing what you are there for its a great school. most complaints are the ones who usually buck the system. really great schools and teachers!
