Excellent. Prepared me for higher education and later career.

I’m writing to express some serious concerns that have been building for some time, and that became even more evident after last night’s charity basketball game. There were only five people in the stands — a clear sign that families either weren’t informed or didn’t feel engaged enough to attend. Multiple staff members were asked about the event and, shockingly, every single one responded with some version of, “We don’t know.”It’s extremely disheartening to see this level of disorganization and lack of internal communication. Events meant to support good causes should be opportunities for community-building, but when no one knows what’s going on — including the teachers — it creates confusion and reflects poorly on the school’s leadership.Unfortunately, this isn’t an isolated incident. It’s becoming increasingly apparent that the culture of this school is driven more by ego and control than by collaboration or student-centered priorities. Many families are losing trust. I can no longer in good conscience recommend this school to anyone.I hope this message is taken seriously and not dismissed. The students, families, and faculty deserve far better.

Horrible school. The teachers and the principle are so mean.

Hubbard School has an excellent nurturing professional staff. Communication with teachers and principal is encouraged and easy. Academics are rigorous and grade-appropriate. Independent reading is encouraged and children can earn prizes for reading comprehension through voluntary participation in a special reading program. Ample help is available for those who need it in reading, math, speech, and other skill areas. A science lab for all grades has been added in 2010. Kindergarten is half-day, however, a wrap-around Kindergarten program is available for a fee so that children can stay and learn for a full day. Before and after-care programs are also available. Many cultural and enrichment programs are held throughout the year. Fun events are planned regularly for the children. There is a very active and productive PTO that provides many "extras" to the school through fundraising and provides many opportunities for family involvement during and after school hours. It is overall a very inclusive and academically successful place for children to learn.
