Our experience at R.F. Hartman Elementary has been nothing short of exceptional. From day one, the environment has felt incredibly welcoming; seeing the teachers and the leadership team, including Principal Shawnell Bradshaw and Assistant Principal Meagan Wendt, personally greeting the kids with glowing smiles at drop-off sets such a positive tone for the day. That same enthusiasm, care, and personal connection are just as evident at pick-up, providing our son with a safe and loving space to grow both academically and socially.What stands out most is how the staff truly lives 'The Wylie Way,' fostering a genuine love for learning through core values like grit and gratitude. We have seen a remarkable transformation in our son’s confidence, socialization, language, and mathematics. We are especially grateful to Rachael Howe and the entire teaching team in her class for their dedication—they truly see each child as an individual.We also want to highlight the incredible support from the Counselor’s Corner. Melanie Brune has been instrumental in our son's emotional growth, helping him find his voice and navigate his feelings with kindness. We couldn't have asked for a better foundation for his elementary years.

This is our second year here, I absolutely think this is one of the best school any of my children have ever attended. They are full of life and love here you will feel welcome and wanted. Most of all the have wonderful teachers and leaders that the kids love and make them love their school and learning. My kids love Akin Elementary!!!
