Overall, I am very pleased with the teachers, and students at Hardy. My kids are in 2nd and 3rd grade. My son has had social anxiety for awhile now and they got him to break out of his shell! They really work hard to see your child gets extra attention if they fall behind in subjects. The Hardy curriculum far exceeds my expectations. My children's teachers have gone above and beyond their normal duties. The anti-bullying program is the best! I have never seen anything like it. The students here are so friendly, so nice and kind to one another. It is very comforting as a parent to know they are surrounded by other great kids. It is a great group of students and teachers at Hardy Elementary!!! The only complaint I have is the office staff ladies. When you walk into a school, they really are the face of the school and their personality types do not set a good representation of what Hardy actually represents. The office staff are rude, cold and always seem annoyed when you need answers to your questions. They always have that "stare" that make you feel like your bothering them. Like I said, Hardy is a great school. I give it 5 stars, but they need to re-consider how the office is being run because the office staff is the face of the school to parents. I did read in another review that the gym teacher is always seen in the office as well, very relaxed and unprofessional, and this is true. It is something I wish they would address.

this school is dogwater. it is so bad and trash

Bullying: the school does not do enough with the situation of bullying. Constantly students are hit, sexually assaulted physically and degraded. If people are being hit they have no other choice but to do so back BECAUSE staff don't do anything to prevent the situation but: "that's not kind". Not to mention the staff takes care of small issues first with big punishments and big issues are given small punishments.-----------------------Education:The school uses many methods to encourage and assist with learning. Before, I struggled with basic spelling, capitalization and punctuation.Personal experiences:1. My friend (whom I will not name here) was given a whole week's detention for taking one peice of candy. The same person tried to stab someone in the neck with a pencil and got a lunch detention.2. Like I said previously: ". . .small issues are given big punishments and big issues are given small punishments," and about how student have no choice but to hit back in a physical bullying situation, I had to punch someone when I told adults NUMEROUS times that I was being harassed physically and got two lunch detentions. I skipped them because I rightfully defended myself and was on thin ice of being suspended.Overall review:Would I recommend this school?: No, no I would not. The only good thing about this school is the encouragement and choices for education.
