my kids love that school .NORTH ELEMENTARY is great school

I have to say, Hester is a really great school. There are some teachers that are not very respectful and nice, there is about one or two teachers that don't tell us the homework when they need to and then get mad at us for not ''doing'' it. I really did wish teachers could respect their students more and not just see us as some annoying kids. But overall, I'm really enjoying Hester!

I currently attend this school, and I must say, it is not going great. There are constant fights, and not enough security to help manage them. Last year, there were about 5 fights that broke out the whole week. We tried to inform people about this, but the school didn't let us say anything to anyone because they will get "Bad reviews." The teachers here dump a lot of tests and quizzes in one week each class, which lead kids to a lot of burnouts, especially me. Now, the transportation to the school. It is absolutely horrible, whenever I go to the bus in the morning, it's always crowded with kids, and there's not enough room for people to sit down at times, and they make us go "3 in a seat." Which I believe, isn't even allowed. One incident that happened last year is that the kids in the bus, were also very immature and weren't even told to stop after they kept screaming and putting on inappropriate audios. They also threw food at OTHER cars that were driving past us, and the bus driver was blamed because of it. This really shows how horrible the school is, and I do not recommend it whatsoever, as someone who is currently attending East Leyden.
