Should NOT be allowed to administer the ACT test. Fire alarm went off on 9/6/2025 and proctor did not know how to turn off alarm and they did not reset the time lost during the alarm or having to exit building. Unprofessional and inappropriate. We expect a refund from the school for the aaCT fee and an apology.

Don’t recommend for children of color! Needs more diversity! School cares more about high test scores than actual teaching. Higher scores more school funding. School pretends all students and their families are welcomed but as a someone who’s witnessed staff on the days they weren’t having to put on a fake smile for the public i’d have to disagree. On their school Facebook page, mainly Caucasian children are recognized, when children of color are recognized, they’re having a bad hair/appearance day or not properly kept. As for test scores, ACAP tests are taken several times a year. Hutchens doesnt tutor the subjects where a child scored the lowest instead they’d rather place a child in tutoring for the subject they scored exceptionally well in so when retested the child exceeds their previous score. Higher test scores mean more funding. This further keeps the child behind moving instead of focusing on getting the child to where they should be grade wise. As a parent myself I’ve witnessed how badly this hurts the child when they’re in a much higher grade struggling with something they should’ve gotten help with earlier on. I can’t even begin to speak about the excessive need for money for various reasons and various functions almost every other day. Depending on the amount of money you’re able to spend on your child’s package is the amount of things he/she can participate in. The children who aren’t fortunate enough are just out of luck. Sadly at this school equality is only granted to white children or families with a substantial amount of money.

Im currently in 7th grade, the teachers don't care about anyone, expect their fav. They teach really weak, we can do the problem for two weeks. The busses are full off fights, eating, cussing, everything you say. I mean, I am a part of cussing and everything. But still the school don't care. The P.E, one person messed up? Whole class is staying inside because someone talked. You can talk whole class on. But still the teacher don't care, bullied? don't care. So please, try to educate students, and make them feel safe. Not to take their phones.

0. Great school maybe for white kids, but not for blacks.
