great school with great teachers . I highly recommend this school

My daughter was attending another school previously where she was getting bullied and it was not being handled in a way that made her comfortable to go to school. She didn't want to go to school anymore or do any of the work. We moved to a neighborhood near Hart elementary and this school was assigned to her since our address changed. Since going to Hart she has been more motivated to go to school and anyone who seems to bother her even a little is addressed right away. The teachers communicate right away when I bring something up and address any concerns I have. This school is great! It reminds me of when I was growing up and schools were safer and more communicative when things happened. My daughter is so much more happier being at this school than her previous school and I am happy with how Hart's staff handle things.

Stockdale is alright, the teachers are pretty good in my experience. However, the rest of their staff is rude and "snobbish" as the rest of the reviews are saying. They often make me feel guilty just for checking in or out for doctors appointments. And there is a huge bullying problem. Many instances of bullying have been brought up with no punishment to the bully. Cases of harassment, physical harm, verbal attacks, and even sexual assault, yet the attackers never get so much as a detention. At least in the MANY instances I've seen. It's gotten to the point where things will happen to some people and they won't want to tell faculty because they won't do anything, it'd just cause more drama. All that happens is drama spread among cliques. The dean will offer a no contact order, which is like the school's version of a restraining order. Nobody follows these however and it just puts a band-aid on the problem. The school lunch is usually pretty good (for school food), though.
