Hearst has exceeded our expectations. The foundation, PTA, and parent community create a nurturing environment for learners of diverse abilities and backgrounds. The teachers are dedicated and innovative in their approach; our children feel supported, challenged, and have blossomed in this very special school. Most of all, they have FUN! You can see this by how they all run through the gates each day, saying “Good Morning” to Ms. Wendy, a staple of the Hearst Community. No school is perfect, but we feel confident that any issue that may arise will be addressed effectively.

My son has to hold his urinate everyday because he is not comfortable going to the restroom since he has witnessed some older kids vaping in there. It seems like they have had this problem for a long time and I wonder why it hasn't been resolved? There was one time that my son couldn't hold his urinate anymore and he tried to look for a restroom, but all of them were closed right after school. I am not sure if that's the way for this school to solve the problem about kids vaping by locking the boys restrooms after school? Also, it's so hard to get a hold of a counselor here. They don't respond back to emails or calls. This school is so unorganized. It's so frustrating.

I went to school here a couple years ago, when I told this girl I didn't like kpop she kicked me in the shins and cried but the pe teacher only punished me by sending me to the principals office for hurting somebody's feelings, keep in mind I only said "eh kpop".I forget what the teachers names are but two of the white male history teachers would say the nword, pretty sure one retired but idk about the other.
